Sorting Signal from Noise — Dr. Joy Stankowski on Open-Minded Evaluation, Records, and System-Level Care

In the Season 2 premiere of Emotional Damages, host Dr. Mark Levy speaks with Dr. Joy Stankowski, a dual-trained internal medicine and psychiatry forensic psychiatrist with over 20 years of experience, more than 1,000 evaluations, and deep expertise in hospital systems and standards of care. Dr. Stankowski explains how her medical-psychiatric background informs high-stakes criminal and emotional damages evaluations, why experts must approach records with an open mind, and communicate early and candidly with counsel when opinions diverge from case theories. She also discusses her work as a federal surveyor for CMS and offers attorneys a practical roadmap for collaborating with forensic experts, organizing records, and analyzing system-level problems in standard of care litigation.
