PER CURIAM.

We find no error in the trial court limiting expert witnesses in a medical malpractice case to one expert per side. Smith v. Coastal Emergency Services, Inc., 538 So. 2d 946" court="Fla. Dist. Ct. App." date_filed="1989-02-15" href="https://app.midpage.ai/document/smith-v-coastal-emergency-services-1111055?utm_source=webapp" opinion_id="1111055">538 So. 2d 946 (Fla. 4th DCA 1989); Crawford v. Shivashankar, 474 So. 2d 873" court="Fla. Dist. Ct. App." date_filed="1985-08-22" href="https://app.midpage.ai/document/crawford-v-shivashankar-1899986?utm_source=webapp" opinion_id="1899986">474 So. 2d 873 (Fla. 1st DCA 1985). Further, permitting the defendant doctor to testify as to his care of the plaintiff would not be a violation of this expert witness' limitation.

Final judgment under review is affirmed.
