As an active member of the Board of Trustees for the North Carolina Prevent Blindness Foundation, Expert is involved with several other community service projects. He donates time and equipment for projects that include screening migrant workers for correctable vision problems, participating in the annual glaucoma screenings in Raleigh, and assisting medical students and residents at Wake County Medical Center. He also donates stipends from his continuing lecture series on diabetes, glaucoma, and eye diseases to the Prevent Blindness North Carolina Foundation, and serves the state legislature and the North Carolina Medical Society as "Doctor of the Day." In addition to being a recipient of the AMA Community Service Award, Expert received the Physician's Recognition Award in 1990 and 1995. In response to this recognition, particularly his most recent award, he said, "It was unexpected to receive this attention. I hope it raises awareness of physicians' commitment to community and the work they have always done in providing services to the poor." The goal of raising the public's awareness about community involvement by practicing physicians is one intent of the Community Service Award established by the AMA Young Physicians Section. The series of community projects established by Expert has attracted statewide and national attention for both him and his colleagues. His medical associates have commented that such commitment seems more typical of the "old-time family doctor." Indeed, in all occupations today, not only medical practice, it is rare to see this level of kindness, generosity, and compassion extended without some type of tangible or financial reward. Recently, Expert was quoted as saying, "Simple, voluntary acts of kindness and charity are repaid ten times over, usually in unpredictable ways." He continues, "I was fortunate to find people at Wake Medical Center, Glaxo Wellcome, Durham Technical College, and Prevent Blindness North Carolina who still believe in this." Together, Expert believes, the synergy created by these groups allowed them to accomplish more than anyone could have imagined. This collaborative effort has resulted in medical care and services for many patients who otherwise would have gone untreated. In many instances, it has given patients the gift of sight, which may not have been possible without the work of Expert and his colleagues.
