Biography
Clinical depth, academic rigor, forensic clarity.
Dr. Brzusek earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology from Niagara University in 1966 and his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1970. He completed a Master of Science in Rehabilitation Medicine at the University of Washington in 1976 and a management program at the UW Graduate School of Business in 1981.
In active clinical practice since 1976, he has directed Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation services at Valley Medical Center (Renton) and Overlake Hospital Medical Center (Bellevue), and has served as a clinical professor at the University of Washington and adjunct professor at multiple osteopathic medical colleges. Since 2016 he has been Regional Dean of the Pacific Northwest University of Health Sciences College of Osteopathic Medicine.
His philosophy of examination is straightforward: document what the objective findings show, separate the medical record from advocacy, and communicate it in language a jury can follow.
