One of the most common questions we hear when we take on a new case to investigate is whether a doctor or nurse might alter the medical records. The simple answer is yes.

There are all sorts of ways to uncover the “doctoring” of records. If there is a suspicion of medical records alteration, for example, it may be possible to retain a handwriting expert, someone who can identify changes to records based on use of different inks or writing in different hands.
