This was supposed to be a qualified medical examiner, however the results he delivered were off-topic completely and biased. He spend most of the report talking about how I had kids out of wedlock. I wonder if he does the same for men: I'd bet not. He spent only 5 minutes out of the whole appointment discussing details of my injury. He made me undress to my underwear despite me explicitly saying I wanted to keep my base layer on, and he became aggressive and threatening to get me to do so. His account of the way the appointment went in his report was willfully inaccurate. Simple details he misreported like whether I was laying on my back or my stomach. He got the simple details wrong, nevermind the big ones. He is a terrible choice for a QME doctor, I would recommend no one use him. I was outside of his scope of expertise, instead of saying so, he illegally enlisted another doctor who made a diagnosis without even speaking to me. He is not ethical nor cares about legalities.

Dr Britton is an awesome and compassionate doctor. He was my doctor for 10 years until he left Stanford Medical clinic. He is worth anyway no matter how long. Very knowledgeable. 5 stars all the way

Dr. Britton supported my choice to rake a position in Canada that was part of my healing. I spent 11 years working with people with chronic disease in a center for personal empowerment as a result of the care I got for my SLE from Dr. Britton, Can anyone of his ex patients top this.
