Expert Institute

I believe that the Expert Institute business model leads to bad patient care. Many may not appreciate this, so let me explain how... I have learned that Expert Institute is simultaneously contacting multiple physician experts for a given case, even though only one will be hired. That my definition is wasting time for the doctors that could otherwise be applied towards patient care. In my case, I was contacted for a case with 5 other physicians. I withdrew my name from their roster when I understood this was the model.  Even if it is only 10 minutes of time spent away from patient care midday (like me today trying to understand the case specifics), that time adds up, and sometimes can make the difference between making a mistake on a single case. Doctors already do not have enough time in the day. Multiplying this approach out over all the doctors on their panel, over all the subspecialties, for all the cases, I imagine that Experts Institute has taken doctors away from patient care for countless hours. The worst part is that Expert Institute are not telling the experts that they are doing this so each physician contacted is spending the time thinking that they are more likely to get a given consult then if they were told that 4 or more other doctors are been contacted simultaneously. Doctor's don't have time for that. The staff who contact you state that a specific law firm has requested you on a consult, which is not the case. The CEO of Expert Institute should be aware that this is type of model or algorithm as they call it exploits physician time away from patient care for Expert Institute's own financial agendas. Multiplied in composite over all of their cases and physicians contacted but not hired, this model surely going to cause a decrease in overall patient care and possibly injury. If Expert's Institute were contacting physicians sequentially in stepwise fashion evaluating each rather than this "spamming doctors" approach, that would be more respectful of a physician's professional time. The physicians doing expert work are high caliber and certainly deserve this type of respect. Even if Expert's Institute would at least notify the physicians they contact about a case that there are others who have been simultaneously contacted, then I would not have a moral objection to what they are doing as unethical. It would be on the physicians to chose to participate in this "lottery" but this approach still takes unnecessary time away from patient care.

I've practiced law for more than 30 years, and The Expert Institute is by far the best expert witness service I've used. They have helped me locate experts for medical malpractice, construction defect, and other cases involving personal injuries. The witnesses they have recommended have had superb credentials and have satisfied my needs completely. After using them for the first time, my firm decided to sign up for their partnership agreement, which provides me with case reviews by their in-house experts. These case reviews have helped me decided whether the accept a case or not. I cannot recommend them more highly.
