Who I am
Brett Fink, MD, QME – Expert in Medical-Legal Evaluations
As a Qualified Medical Evaluator (QME), I specialize in providing clear, objective, and evidence-based orthopedic assessments. My focus is on delivering concise and defensible evaluations that attorneys, claims professionals, and injured workers can trust. With over a decade of experience in medical-legal reporting, I ensure that each evaluation is thorough, fair, and aligned with legal standards.
I understand the complexities of medical-legal cases and am committed to making the evaluation process straightforward. Whether determining apportionment, causation, or Maximum Medical Improvement (MMI), my goal is to provide reports that facilitate just and timely case resolutions.
