Clair v. Glades County Board of County Commissioners

635 So.2d 84

A physician licensed under one statute may testify regarding the reasonableness and necessity of treatment by a physician licensed under another statute provided the testifying physician is, based on training and experience, competent to render an expert opinion concerning treatment for the illness or injury under review. In this case, a neurosurgeon and orthopedic surgeon testified as to the need for further chiropractic care. The neurosurgeon testified that he had sufficient knowledge about chiropractic care to render an opinion as to whether such treatment would help or harm the claimant. Accordingly, his testimony deemed admissible.
