MY SPECIALTY IN SERVING AS EMPLOYMENT ATTORNEY TO MEDICAL
PRACTICES, DOCTORS, NURSES, NURSING HOMES, HOME HEALTH AGENCIES AND OTHER MEDICAL PROVIDERS
Over the years, I have represented many medical practices, physicians, nurses, hospitals,
nursing homes, home health agencies, and other medical providers. Unlike most other employment attorneys,
I am therefore familiar with the many special laws, requirements and considerations
that apply to medical workplaces. These include Board of Registration requirements,
peer review, controlled substance laws, defense against medical malpractice claims,
patient privacy rights, and mandatory reporting. Because I am familiar with both
the medical world and employment law, I am a good choice for doctors, medical providers
or medical facilities who need employment law advice or representation.
Among the employment related concerns about which I have advised doctors and medical
practices are the following:
- Employment contract issues
- Compensation disputes
- Employees suspected of substance abuse or diversion
- Employees claiming to be legally protected "health care whistleblowers"
- Employees discovered not to be properly licensed
- Employees with Board of Registration or peer review issues;
- Employees suspected of dishonesty in medical record documentation
- Employees who have violated employee HIPAA rights
- Employees alleged to have engaged in unlawful harassment
- Employees who have made comments to patients beyond their expertise
- Needlestick injury issues;
- Overtime pay and exemption disputes
- Investigations by governmental agencies of suspected employment law violations
