Professional Disclaimers

Last updated: November 2026

Independent services; no government endorsement

Consulting services described on this website are offered independently by Joseph Benperlas, MD, in a personal capacity. They are not endorsed by, affiliated with, sponsored by, or offered on behalf of any government agency or federal employer.

Dr. Benperlas’s professional background includes federal healthcare service. That experience is described solely as professional background. Views expressed on this website and in consulting work are his own and do not represent the views or policies of any government agency.

• Dr. Benperlas does not represent any federal agency in his consulting work.
• Consulting services do not use or disclose nonpublic government information or protected government materials.
• Consulting services do not offer, and should not be understood to offer, influence over government procurement, preferential access, or special relationships with any agency.
• Engagements are accepted only where consistent with applicable ethics and conflict-of-interest rules. Some prospective engagements may be declined for that reason.

Not medical care

This website and the consulting services it describes are directed to organizations. They do not provide patient-specific medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, are not a substitute for clinical care, and do not create a physician–patient relationship. Patient-facing services are offered separately at mdsos.com.

Scope of clinical AI assessments

Clinical AI Readiness & Validation engagements provide an independent professional opinion on the clinical usefulness, workflow fit, and implementation readiness of a technology in a defined context. They are not:

• a formal product certification or accreditation;
• a regulatory clearance, approval, or submission, or regulatory advice;
• a comprehensive clinical validation study; or
• a guarantee of safety, accuracy, performance, or adoption.

Clients remain responsible for their own technology, clinical, legal, and regulatory decisions.

Not legal, regulatory, or investment advice

Consulting deliverables, including due diligence assessments, provide clinical and operational perspective. They are not legal, regulatory, financial, or investment advice and should be considered alongside advice from qualified professionals in those fields.

No guarantee of outcomes

Recommendations reflect professional judgment based on the information available during an engagement. Results depend on many factors outside the consultant’s control, and no specific outcome is promised.

Trademarks

Epic, Oracle Health, Cerner, and other product names are trademarks of their respective owners. References describe professional experience and do not imply affiliation, certification, or endorsement.

Protected health information

Do not send protected health information or patient records through this website, by email, or by voicemail.
