Description
Per Curiam. We affirm substantially for the reasons stated in the district court's opinion and order of February 1, 1993. We have carefully reviewed the entire record and disagree with claimant's contentions that the testimony of the medical expert was flawed. The opinion of a testifying medical expert who has explained the relevant medical evidence is entitled to considerable weight. Dudley v. Secretary of Health & Human Services, 816 F.2d 792, 794 (1st Cir. 1987); see also Richardson v. Perales, 402 U.S. 389, 408, 28 L. Ed. 2d 842, 91 S. Ct. 1420 (1971). In addition, the vocational expert's testimony that claimant could perform a narrow range of light work was properly credited. See Berrios Lopez v. Secretary of Health and Human Services, 951 F.2d 427, 429 (1st Cir. 1991). The record as a whole sufficiently supports the Secretary's decision. The judgment of the district court is affirmed.
