The UCSD staff members include: Dr. Christine Chung, assistant professor in residence, UCSD School of Medicine; Dr. Amilcare Gentili, clinical professor, department of radiology, UCSD School of Medicine; and Dr. Mini Pathria, professor of clinical radiology, UCSD School of Medicine.

Dr. Peter Franklin, co-founder and medical director, Franklin & Seidelmann Subspecialty Radiology, said
“It is an honor to have Dr. Donald Resnick and his colleagues join the F&S network of subspecialty radiologists. His international reputation as an educator, researcher, writer and lecturer is a compliment to anyone who has the opportunity to work with him.”

“As F&S continues to expand its network of subspecialty radiologists, particularly with Dr. Resnik and his team of MSK subspecialists, F&S is well-poised to manage the demand it has been experiencing for MSK interpretations,” added Franklin.

Dr. Resnick, who has published 16 books, 900 articles, and given more than 2,000 presentations on MSK and related topics explained, “I joined Franklin & Seidelmann because of their good reputation, focus on providing quality service, and their commitment to continually build upon their radiologist’s level of expertise through training programs. The biggest benefit to me is the extra volume of subspecialty cases I can use to supplement our teaching program.”

Dr. Resnick runs one of the largest MSK training programs in the world with up to 13 fellows and 200 international visitors annually.

Dr. David Chao of Oasis Sports Medical Group and team physician for the San Diego Chargers commented, “For the past 10 years, I have collaborated with Dr. Peter Franklin to deliver the highest level of subspecialty diagnostic excellence for my patients.” He added, “I have had the same experience with Dr. Donald Resnick and his team at UCSD. Dr. Resnick’s incredible breadth of experience, understanding of pathophysiology, and commitment to excellence has only augmented my confidence on our diagnostic imaging consultation. I am delighted that he and his colleagues at UCSD will be working with the Franklin & Seidelmann team. I get the best of both worlds.”
