Testimonials

"I am writing to recommend Stephen C. Saris, M.D. as a neurosurgical expert. I am an attorney who has retained Dr. Saris as an expert witness in medical malpractice and complex injury matters. In my experience, Dr. Saris is exceptionally thorough, clinically sharp, and able to explain complicated neurosurgical issues in a clear, practical way that attorneys, adjusters, and jurors can understand. Dr. Saris has helped me unravel several challenging cases, including a difficult matter involving a cervical herniated disc. His careful review of the records and imaging identified the key medical issues quickly and directly, and his analysis contributed to a favorable settlement outcome. What sets Dr. Saris apart is his objectivity and candor. He will “shoot you straight.” Whether you represent the plaintiff or the defense, he will tell you what the medicine supports and – just as importantly – what it does not. That level of honesty is invaluable when evaluating case viability, shaping strategy, and making sound litigation decisions early. I recommend Dr. Saris without reservation to counsel seeking a credible, fair-minded neurosurgical expert for record review, written reports, deposition preparation, and trial testimony."

"I worked with Dr. Saris approximately a few years ago on a case involving a college student who alleged a life-altering head strike traumatic brain injury. The plaintiff demand was $7,000,000, and the award was zero. Dr. Saris was our neurosurgical expert. For a surgical specialist, he was easy to contact and work with. He was thorough and well prepared, and his court testimony ended up being a major part of our defense. It was compelling and seemed well understood by jurors from different walks of life. Needless to say, we were all pleased with the result.

"I write this testimonial in regard to Dr. Stephen Saris. We had a case together a few years ago in which a patient developed severe nerve damage after placement of a pedicle screw into the lumbar spine. Dr. Saris analyzed the case and made several significant findings that others had missed. He was prompt and very responsive. His report was detailed and almost unassailable. He testified at trial and made a strong impression on the jury with his candor and commitment to our case, overcoming the testimony of the other side's experts, which resulted in a favorable jury verdict for my client. I was so favorably impressed with Dr. Saris and his professionalism and expertise that I contacted our state's medical board, who have since used his services as an expert for the state."
