Dr. Darshika Goswami
Medical Legal Expert
Founder, Pacific Northwest MD Legal Consulting
Board Certified Physician
& Medical-Legal Expert
Dr. Darshika Goswami is a board-certified internist and rheumatologist who consults with personal injury and workersβ compensation, with a practice focused exclusively on pre-litigation and pre-trial review. Her work centers on evidence-based review of complex medical records to clarify diagnosis, causation, functional limitations, and future care needs.
Before transitioning to full-time consulting, Dr. Goswami practiced across outpatient, inpatient, and telemedicine settings, collaborating routinely with medical and surgical specialists on complex, multisystem cases. She continues to see patients as a volunteer clinician, which keeps her clinical instincts sharp and her perspective grounded in current, real-world care. Her background in medical education, multidisciplinary case review, and quality assurance gives her a broad lens: both the precision of individual clinical evaluation and the rigor of system-level analysis.
Her reports are written with attorneys in mind. They are clear, well-reasoned, and free of unnecessary jargon, designed to help you cut through medical complexity and make informed decisions during case screening, early analysis, and pre-trial preparation.
Dr. Goswami received her undergraduate degree in Microbiology and Cell Science from the University of Florida and her MD from Florida State University College of Medicine. She completed her internal medicine residency at Brookwood Baptist Health in Birmingham, Alabama, followed by a rheumatology fellowship at Indiana University School of Medicine.
