Life Care Planning Services
Detailed, Defensible Life Care Plans from a Practicing Trauma Surgeon
A life care plan is more than a cost projection; it is a comprehensive roadmap of care that defines what a client needs to live with dignity following catastrophic injury. As both an active trauma surgeon and Certified Life Care Planner (CLCP), I combine two perspectives that are rarely found in a single expert.
Clinical Authority: I treat severe traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and polytrauma cases every week in the hospital setting. I know firsthand what interventions succeed, which complications arise, and how care trajectories unfold.
Plan Precision: Through formal CLCP certification with the Southwest Florida Training Institute, I apply structured methodologies to project care needs, timelines, and expenses that stand up to adversarial scrutiny.
Our Process
Before developing a life care plan, I assess the medical records, diagnostic imaging, and injury severity to determine feasibility, scope, and anticipated complexity.

Ideal Client Profile:
-Personal injury litigation
-Workers compensation cases
-Medical malpractice litigation
Most life care planners come from nursing, allied health, or physiatry backgrounds. I am a board-certified surgeon who operates on and manages critically injured patients every day. This distinction matters when defending your plan during depositions, mediation, or trial, especially when interpreting extensive hospital charts and surgical records.
