Dr. Gary Tamkin Headshot

My law practice has consulted with Dr. Tamkin on several occasions due to his candid analysis.  As a plaintiffs’ medical malpractice attorney, it is important to understand the viability of potential cases. Dr. Tamkin has saved my practice time and money in avoiding cases that ultimately met the standard of care.  Dr. Tamkin is upfront when evaluating the strengths and weakness of each case.  He is accessible and punctual.  Above all, he is well prepared.  I strongly recommend Dr. Tamkin.
