Dual Board-Certified Physician
& Medical-Legal Expert

Dr. Darshika Goswami is a board-certified internist and rheumatologist who consults with personal injury and workers' compensation attorneys, with a practice focused exclusively on pre-litigation and pre-trial review. Rheumatology encompasses arthritis, connective tissue disorders, and autoimmune conditions, some of the most contested and misunderstood diagnoses in personal injury litigation. Internal medicine brings expertise in cardiovascular disease, pulmonary conditions, and chronic disease management. Together, these specialties cover a wide range of complex medical questions that arise in PI cases.

Before transitioning to consulting, Dr. Goswami practiced across outpatient, inpatient, and telemedicine settings, collaborating routinely with medical and surgical specialists on complex, multisystem cases. She remains an active clinician, currently volunteering at a free community health clinic, which keeps her clinical instincts sharp and her perspective grounded in current, real-world care. Giving back to the community is not separate from her consulting work. It reflects the same commitment to getting the medicine right. 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.

Dr. Goswami deliberately limits the number of cases she accepts each month. This is not a high-volume operation. Every report receives her full attention, her direct analysis, and her personal sign-off. Attorneys who work with her know they are getting the physician, not a process. Her reports 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. She provides a turnaround estimate upfront so there are no surprises, and she is accessible throughout the entire process. If you have a question about a case, you can reach her directly. Dr. Goswami takes pride in being a consultant whom attorneys can actually talk to, not just receive a report from.

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.
