Opinion:
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.
