Conclusions not supported by the examining physician's own documented findings.
Material facts from the treating record that the IME does not acknowledge — each one a cross-examination question.

Treating record entries that directly contradict IME positions — will plaintiff find them?
Examination duration, tests performed, and records reviewed consistent with conclusions?
Specific corrections and additions before the report is finalized and served.
The deposition questions a prepared plaintiff attorney would ask — addressed before they can be asked.
Your IME physician has produced a report and you need to ensure it will survive deposition before serving it.
You are commissioning an IME for a high-value case and want physician-level quality assurance on the work product.
A previous IME in a related case was attacked at deposition and you want to prevent a repeat.
