Mizell v. Glover9/3/2002
ness, but found the difference in qualifications affected only the weight, not the admissibility, of his testimony. Id.
Under Gooding and Rule 702, SCRE, the trial court correctly allowed Dr. Martin to testify regarding Mrs. Mizell's treatment at the pain clinic, even though he was not qualified himself to administer the treatment he recounted. The jury was aware of Dr. Martin's credentials as a podiatrist and of Dr. Romanoff's credentials as an anesthesiologist. Therefore, they could have given Dr. Martin's testimony less weight than Dr. Romanoff's. Accordingly, Dr. Martin's limited opinion regarding Mrs. Mizell's treatment at the pain clinic was correctly admitted and upheld by the Court of Appeals. Therefore, we affirm the Court of Appeals on this issue.
Conclusion
For the foregoing reasons, we AFFIRM IN PART and REVERSE IN PART the opinion of the Court of Appeals and REMAND for a new trial.
MOORE, WALLER, BURNETT and PLEICONES, JJ., concur.
