Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 122 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[A] consulting physician's opinions or report should be given limited weight ... because 'consultative exams are often brief, are generally performed without benefit or review of claimant's medical history and, at best, only give a glimpse of the claimant on a single day.' " (citation omitted)). In this case, Dr. Tolentino appears to have had even less contact with plaintiff than the consultative physician did in Selian . The record here does not provide evidence that Dr. Tolentino ever personally examined plaintiff. For the above reasons, the Court finds that the ALJ correctly concluded that the evidence does not establish that Dr. Tolentino is entitled to deference as a "treating physician.”
