Dr. Reynard excelled at deposition and trial.
Michael Reynard, M.D. was retained as an ophthalmology expert in an important case involving a claim for substantial damages for vision loss following bodily injury from a car accident. The case involved a subtle retinal disorder that preexisted bodily injury from a car accident. Rebuttal testimony was needed to support my position that the plaintiff’s retinal disorderr preexisted his car accident, and that bodily injury sustained in the car accident did not exacerbate his retinal condition. It was important for my case to have an ophthalmology expert that was able to explain our position to a jury in terms that were persuasive and easily understood.
Dr. Reynard thoroughly understood salient and subtle medical intricacies of the case and was able to present his keen knowledge to the jury. His performance at trial was superb. Dr. Reynard was able to answer questions artfully and knowledgeable while under extreme pressure from opposing counsel. His abilities as an ophthalmology expert were essential for obtaining a favorable outcome.

This rating is for Dr. Michael Reynard who stopped glaucoma in its tracks for me years ago before Yelp and Smart Phones. With a family history of glaucoma that led to blindness, Dr. Reynard watched the pressure in my eyes like a hawk. When it rose to 22, the number that = the onset, he immediately suggested and performed an outpatient laser surgery on both eyes called selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT). It’s been 20+ years since the procedure and the eye pressure has never risen over 15.
