Who are your typical clients?
Dr. Yaraei works with a broad range of clients including hospital laboratory administrators, physician office laboratories (POL), independent reference labs, urgent care clinic operators, healthcare startup founders, and attorneys seeking expert witness testimony. Whether you are starting a new lab, managing an existing high-complexity facility, or facing a regulatory challenge, his services are designed to address your specific needs.
Do you offer remote or virtual consulting?
Yes. The majority of consulting engagements are conducted remotely via video conference, which allows Dr. Yaraei to serve clients across all 50 states efficiently. For engagements that require on-site presence — such as mock inspections, workflow redesigns, or inspection remediation — on-site visits to California and surrounding states can be arranged. Contact us to discuss the format best suited to your needs.
What does an Interim Laboratory Director engagement look like?
Interim Laboratory Director engagements are structured around your laboratory's specific CLIA certificate requirements, complexity level, and timeline. Dr. Yaraei will review your existing documentation, personnel files, QC records, and compliance history, then establish a formal director relationship that satisfies all CLIA and state regulatory requirements. Ongoing responsibilities are defined at the start of the engagement and can be adjusted as your permanent hire search progresses.
How quickly can you begin a new engagement?
For urgent matters such as failed inspections or immediate jeopardy situations, Dr. Yaraei prioritizes rapid response and can typically begin within 24–72 hours of initial contact. For planned engagements such as new lab startups, compliance audits, or LIS projects, a start date is agreed upon at the time of booking based on project scope and scheduling availability.
Are you available for expert witness work?
Yes. Dr. Yaraei provides expert witness and litigation support services for cases involving clinical laboratory standards of care, CLIA and CAP regulatory compliance, laboratory malpractice, wrongful termination of laboratory personnel, and regulatory enforcement disputes. He is available for case review, written expert opinions, depositions, and courtroom testimony. Please contact through the booking system to discuss your case confidentially.
What states are you licensed in, and can you serve labs elsewhere?
Dr. Yaraei holds active Clinical Laboratory Director licenses in California, Nevada, Florida, and New York. He also holds a Clinical Laboratory Scientist license in California and is certified as a Clinical Chemist by the National Registry of Clinical Chemistry (NRCC). For remote consulting services — which include compliance audits, LIS consulting, staff training, policy development, and strategic planning — he can serve laboratories nationwide regardless of state, as these do not require local licensure. For engagements requiring him to serve as the named Laboratory Director on a CLIA certificate, this is available for laboratories in Nevada, Florida, and New York where he holds active CLDir licenses, and in California where he holds an active CLS license.
