Brief biography of Richard B. Lewan, MD

After receiving my medical degree at the University Of Chicago, Pritzker School of Medicine and completing residency training in family practice at the University of Illinois in Rockford, I entered faculty practice with Medical College of Wisconsin that included a busy clinical practice for my own patients. As a faculty member, I served as the family practice residency director at Waukesha Memorial Hospital, Waukesha, Wisconsin for over 18 years. My primary responsibility was the development of a training environment for residents and medical students to teach the standards of care in family practice and primary care.

Educational topics often presented and expertise include yet are not limited to:
medical malpractice risk management, standards of clinical care, clinical problem solving, common diagnostic errors, optimizing the clinical examination, common clinical problems in family practice, disorders of the newborn and infant, clinical problems encountered in obstetrical care, cancer screening and diagnosis in primary care, informed consent, procedural skills in family practice and avoiding their complications, geriatrics, nursing home care, critical care, etc.

I have provided expert opinion for 20 years relating to the standards of care in family practice and primary care in both plaintiff and defense cases. I have provided approximately 7 depositions and 4 court testimonies to date. With outstanding teaching and presentation skills, I can provide compelling arguments that jury members can easily understand. I am available for reviews of medical malpractice, product liability, and disability cases. During my current transition into a new clinical and faculty role, I can provide fast turnover of reviews and usually same day initial consultation to determine case merit simply by contacting me by email at 'rl71053@hotmail.com' or cell phone at 262-391-7388.
