October 8, 1991.
Rehearing Denied November 1, 1991.

*573 Perse & Ginsberg and Edward Perse, Hoppe, Backmeyer & Stokes, Miami, for appellants.

Stephens, Lynn, Lein & McNicholas, and Philip D. Parrish, Miami, for appellees.

Before BARKDULL, HUBBART and COPE, JJ.

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 (Fla. 4th DCA 1989); Crawford v. Shivashankar, 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.
