With a strong emphasis on objective analysis and evidence-based assessments, NPI sets itself apart by delivering meticulous and thorough forensic neurological services that are rooted in scientific rigor, objectivity and integrity. 

Dr. Colino embarked on his academic journey at Vassar College, where he earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Philosophy with Cum Laude honors in 1990. During his time at Vassar, he was a distinguished member of Phi Beta Kappa and wrote his thesis on Mind/Body Dualism, which was the sole recipient of Philosophy Thesis Honors for his graduating class. 

Additionally, Dr. Colino studied Philosophy at Oxford University from 1987 to 1988, where he actively participated in the Oxford University Parachuting Club. After obtaining a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy, Dr. Colino then pursued studies in Inorganic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physics, Biology, Physiology, Embryology, and Biostatistics at the University of the District of Columbia from 1990 to 1993, with his studies earning him the Beta Kappa Chi Scientific Honors Society award.   He studied Organic Chemistry at George Washington University in 1992.  While taking these post-BA science requirements, Dr. Colino worked as head veterinary technician from 1990 to 1993 at an animal hospital in the Washington DC area, worked as a phlebotomist and medical technician at SmithKline Beecham clinical laboratories in San Francisco from 1993 to 1994.  He later worked as a Staff Research Associate at the Osteoporosis Research Group at the University of California, San Francisco, where his knowledge of biostatistics and expertise in Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) machines, Quality Assurance and Quality Control lead to international travels and lectures on controlled studies in medicine.

Dr. Colino furthered his academic pursuits with studies in Calculus at the University of California, Berkeley, and Physics at City College of San Francisco from 1993 to 1995. He earned his Doctor of Medicine Degree from the University of California Davis School of Medicine in 2000. He completed postgraduate training with an internship in internal medicine and a residency in neurology at the University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine from 2000 to 2004, working at Jackson Memorial Hospital and the Miami Veterans Administration Hospital.

Dr. Colino’s extensive academic background and training have equipped him with the knowledge and analytical skills necessary to navigate complex neurological cases and provide him invaluable insights into the behavioral and physical aspects of neurological disorders.  While running his neurology clinic (2006 to 2011), Dr. Colino was asked to participate in his first expert witness consultation in 2008.  Recognizing the dearth of objectivity in the courtroom, Dr. Colino began formulating the principles of forensic neurology and created the subspecialty of forensic neurology in 2011, at which time he closed his clinic to dedicate himself to the development and refinement of forensic neurology full-time.

At NPI, clients can expect a comprehensive approach to forensic neurology, encompassing detailed, objective and quantified medical record review, specialized imaging studies, and expert witness testimony that is backed by years of experience and a proven track record in court appearances.
