Our Medical Director, Irwin Savodnik, M.D., teaches at UCLA, conducts his own research program and runs ongoing continuing education conferences for physicians and staff. His current project addressing malingering has made important inroads into this thorny problem. He is available to present the results of this research and other important topics in medical/legal psychiatry at your request.

The staff of ISMED is dedicated to working closely with you to provide you with the kind of evaluations and reports you need. Each person who answers the phone is competent, friendly and knowledgeable. Give us a call and see how much we can help you!

Physician Staff
Each member of our physician staff is Board Certified and is a Qualified Medical Examiner. Our doctors are carefully screened and highly experienced. Before joining our organization, each physician must go through a rigorous training period during which every procedure, legal and psychiatric principle involved in our evaluations are thoroughly reviewed. We review each report for its logic, language, clarity and evidence so we can stand behind it. Our groups provide expert AME evaluations that are fair, objective and filled with information that establishes the basis for each decision.

And... we have 24 locations throughout California to provide the most convenient and timely service anywhere you need it.
