    v.

    No. 90-1105.

    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.

    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.
