The BrIEF Version
Dr. Meghana Karande is a board-certified physician in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PM&R) with a fellowship Pain Medicine with more than two decades of experience as a physician advisor. She has been retained by both plaintiff and defense counsel on complex legal medical matters and is the founder of Karande Circle.
Her perspective is shaped by a clinical practice focused on neurologic, spine, brain, musculoskeletal injuries, and pain, the conditions most often at the center of complex cases. She assesses the impact of an injury on a patient’s physical function, including the ability to perform work-related tasks. Whether it is a work related or a personal injury, the focus is on the root cause, to address pain holistically, and aim to optimize function rather than simply treat symptoms.
Her medical expertise is essential in helping the legal system understand how injuries impact day-to-day function, recovery prospects, and future care needs. These insights are critical in ensuring fair compensation and just outcomes.
Beyond patient care, Dr. Karande’s years of meticulous medical record review, precise guideline interpretation, and defensible determination writing have strengthened the precision she brings to every file. This disciplined analysis is evident in the clarity, accuracy, and credibility of her reports.
