Qualified Medical Evaluator (QME) | Precision in Medical-Legal Assessments
Expert in Medical-Legal Assessments
Wes Madsen, MD, QME
As a board-certified orthopedic surgeon and Qualified Medical Evaluator (QME) with The Guardian Group, I specialize in objective, evidence-based evaluations that support workers’ compensation and disability cases. My expertise ensures clear, defensible reports that help attorneys, insurers, and stakeholders make informed decisions.
My Approach to Evaluations
I believe in direct, honest, and patient-first care. My evaluations are thorough, objective, and evidence-based, ensuring accuracy in medical-legal assessments. When you come in for an evaluation, you can expect:
🔸 Concise & Defensible Reporting – Clear, structured, and well-documented findings that support case determinations.
🔸 Fair & Objective Analysis – Each assessment is conducted with impartiality, adhering to legal and medical guidelines.
🔸 Apportionment & Causation Clarity – Evaluations that accurately determine work-related injuries vs. pre-existing conditions.
🔸Medical Evidence-Based Conclusions – Findings backed by scientific data and legal standards to ensure accuracy.
🔸Timely & Efficient Turnaround – Reports delivered on schedule to meet critical case deadlines.
Whether you’re a patient in need of an orthopedic evaluation or a legal professional requiring a detailed QME report, I am committed to delivering expert medical insights that support fair outcomes.
Beyond the Evaluation Room
Outside of my role as a QME, I value time with family, skiing, and exploring the outdoors. I am also passionate about mentoring future medical professionals, volunteering with children, and giving back through charitable work.
I believe in a well-rounded approach to life—staying engaged in continuous learning, supporting my community, and making time for the things that bring fulfillment and balance.
