I recently had the pleasure of working with George Barnes for the first time in connection with the death of an elderly patient at a nursing home due to aspiration pneumonia. I highly recommend him as an expert witness in legal matters. He is highly experienced. His background is superb, his analytical and communication skills are top-notch, and he did an amazing job of identifying the issues and explaining the standards of care concisely and directly. He pulled out all the stops to get his testimony ready in time on short notice. I look forward to working with him on other cases.

George provided the best descriptions of dysphagia and how it relates to pneumonia and respiration with real-life applicable case studies. I now have such a better understanding. I am walking away with more tools and knowledge and feeling more empowered to make a positive difference.

I really appreciated George’s reports on our case. They were very detailed and well-reasoned and were certainly helpful in defending our position. I look forward to working with George in the future.

George provided an excellent, comprehensive review of many less straightforward areas of medical speech pathology. I especially enjoyed his review of respiratory norms and hierarchical approach to interventions. George is an excellent resource for me on a weekly basis and provides evidence-based feedback to my (frequently asked!) questions.
