The Practice
How I Work a Matter
Retained by plaintiff and defence counsel, insurers and regulatory bodies. Every engagement begins with the record and ends with an opinion I can defend under oath — no conclusion that the documents don’t support.
Record Review & Chronology
Clinic notes, compounding pharmacy records, lab panels and telehealth transcripts read in full and mapped onto a single timeline — prescriptions, dose changes, monitoring, consent and adverse events, each tied to its source page.
Standard of Care Opinion
A written report measuring the care given against the guidelines and evidence that applied at the time — including where the field was genuinely unsettled, which in this specialty is often the decisive question.
Testimony & Records Requests
Discovery and trial testimony, independent medical examinations, and an itemized list of the records still missing — the baselines never drawn, the panels never repeated, the encounters never disclosed.
Domain
One Field, Understood Deeply
A generalist expert flattens every case into the same shape. This practice covers one field — and covers it deeply. The standard of care is often contested. The agents are compounded or off-label. The record is scattered across clinics, pharmacies and telehealth providers.
Peptide Therapy
BPC-157, TB-500, growth hormone secretagogues and compounded research peptides — agents prescribed well ahead of any approval or evidence base.
Read the full brief →Hormone & Testosterone Therapy
Testosterone and TRT, GLP-1 agonists, estrogen and thyroid replacement, and adult growth hormone — measured against the guidelines in force at the time of care.
Read the full brief →Anabolic Steroids & SARMs
Nandrolone, oxandrolone, stanozolol, ostarine and ligandrol — prescribed, compounded or simply supplied outside any approved indication.
Read the full brief →Regenerative Medicine & Longevity
NAD+ protocols, stem cell applications and longevity interventions — where the marketing consistently outruns the evidence.

Physician conduct measured against established guidelines and evolving evidence — including off-label, compounded and direct-to-consumer prescribing.

Common questions
What counsel ask before retaining.
- What cases does hormon.ai accept?
- Matters in hormone therapy (testosterone, GLP-1, HRT, thyroid), research and compounded peptides (BPC-157, TB-500, growth hormone secretagogues), anabolic steroids and SARMs, regenerative and longevity medicine, standard of care disputes in endocrinology, and AI-driven clinical decision support. Dr. Hannah-Shmouni is retained by plaintiff and defence counsel, insurers and regulatory bodies.
- Does the practice work for both plaintiff and defence?
- Yes — retained by each side in roughly equal measure. An opinion that follows the record rather than the retainer is the point. His role is to tell the court what the medicine shows, not to advocate for the party that retained him.
- Is Dr. Hannah-Shmouni qualified to testify in the US and Canada?
- Yes. He is board certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) in the United States and holds the FRCPC designation in Canada. He has provided expert opinions and testimony in both jurisdictions, as well as internationally.
- What is the process for retaining an expert witness?
- Counsel submits an enquiry describing the matter and the records available. Dr. Hannah-Shmouni reviews the summary to confirm fit and no conflict. If retained, he receives the full record, produces a written chronology and standard of care opinion, and is available for discovery and trial testimony.
- Can a compounded peptide or hormone clinic be held to a medical standard of care?
- Yes. A physician prescribing a compounded or off-label peptide or hormone is held to the standard of care for a reasonably competent practitioner in that specialty. The fact that a therapy is compounded or unapproved does not lower the standard — it often raises the obligation for informed consent, monitoring and documentation.
