Where Medicine Meets the Law.
I'm David J. Carlson, MD, FACS — a board-certified general surgeon with years of experience managing complex surgical cases and trauma. Crossroads Medical Legal Consulting partners with attorneys and law firms to provide the physician-level clinical insight that transforms complex medical evidence into clear, compelling case strategy.
My services
Expert Clinical Support for Complex Cases
I work alongside legal teams at every stage — from initial case evaluation through trial preparation — providing the physician-level medical expertise that makes the difference.
Medical Record Review & Case Analysis
I conduct thorough, systematic review of medical records, imaging, and clinical documentation to identify key findings, inconsistencies, and causation issues. My analysis translates complex medical information into clear, attorney-ready summaries that support case strategy and preparation.
Ideal for personal injury, medical malpractice, and workers' compensation matters.
Expert Witness & Testimony Support
As a physician, I provide credentialed medical opinions that carry the diagnostic authority courts require. From written reports to deposition and trial testimony, I communicate complex medical findings with clarity and precision — offering the level of expertise that mid-level providers are generally not qualified to give.
Available for plaintiff and defense engagements across a broad range of medical specialties.
About Crossroads
A Trusted Partner at the Intersection of Medicine and Law
Crossroads Medical Legal Consulting was founded on a simple conviction: attorneys deserve a physician partner who understands both the medicine and the stakes. As a licensed physician, I bring the clinical depth and diagnostic authority that complex cases demand — and that only a medical doctor is qualified to provide.
I work alongside legal teams as an invested partner, not an outside vendor. My approach is methodical, transparent, and always focused on delivering the clarity you need to move forward with confidence.
