Home Page for Ernie Poortinga M.D.

Welcome to my forensic psychiatry practice!

Referrals for forensic psychiatric evaluations are taken from attorneys, judges, insurance companies and employers. I specialize in evaluations for: emotional harm, competency to perform various civil functions (eg. testimentary capacity, medical decision making, guardianship), disability, workman's compensation, psychiatric malpractice, civil committment and other evaluations involving psychiatry and the law.

My professional qualifications can be found in my CV below.

Two of my five peer review articles are available in PDF format below.
