Dr. Swor has built professional relationships with a range of related specialists, including in the fields of maternal-fetal medicine (perinatology), anesthesiology, neonatology (or neonatal pediatrics), and oncology. If the case calls for expansion of our network to include other specialists, we arrange for their participation, overseeing coordination of efforts and communications, to ensure a consistent approach across the board. Our collaborative approach enables us to address even the most complicated or multidimensional medical-legal problems quickly and thoroughly.
