Barton & Strever's clients are fortunate to have Dr. Richard Beemer on their side.  In addition to a successful career as a surgeon, Dr. Beemer's credentials include extensive neurosurgical training, serving as Lincoln County's medical examiner, being a member of the Oregon State Trauma Advisory Board, and working as an associate medical director of Aetna Medicare for Oregon-Alaska.  He also worked extensively with the Oregon Medical Association's loss prevention program to educate the medical community about the medical and legal aspects of malpractice.  When our attorneys need medical answers, Dr. Beemer is here to assist.  We value his opinions and work closely with him when medical issues arise.  Few firms have the resource that we have in Dr. Beemer just a call away.
