Clear, independent orthopedic analysis for attorneys, insurers, and claims professionals.
Jonathan D. Gelber, MD, MS is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon, fellowship-trained sports medicine physician, and California Qualified Medical Evaluator in active clinical practice.
Medical-legal questions often turn on more than an imaging finding. The diagnosis, mechanism of injury, prior condition, treatment history, functional limitations, and expected recovery all need to be considered together.
Dr. Gelber brings the perspective of an orthopedic surgeon who evaluates and treats musculoskeletal conditions in active clinical practice. His work includes both surgical and nonsurgical care, allowing him to assess the full orthopedic picture rather than a single treatment approach.
Independent review of orthopedic records, imaging, treatment, and the clinical questions presented.
Orthopedic evaluation focused on diagnosis, causation, treatment, function, prognosis, and related medical issues.
Consultation, reporting, deposition, or testimony when the matter fits Dr. Gelber’s expertise and availability.
Dr. Gelber considers select matters involving orthopedic and sports injuries, including questions related to the shoulder, knee, and hip; arthroscopic surgery; joint injury; treatment appropriateness; functional limitations; and prognosis.
Dr. Gelber considers both plaintiff and defense matters. Each inquiry is reviewed for subject-matter fit, conflicts, timing, and the specific questions counsel needs addressed.
Email drgelber@laorthowellness.com with the matter name, involved parties, requested service, and relevant deadlines so Dr. Gelber can begin a conflict and scope review. You may also call LA Ortho & Wellness at 818-308-6311 and leave a message regarding potential legal work.
