Robert H. Odell, Jr., MD, PhD

Dr. Odell is a Stanford and UCLA trained practicing anesthesiologist and pain management physician, board certified in anesthesiology (DABA) and pain medicine (American Board of Pain Medicine) and board certified in interventional pain medicine by the World Institute of Pain (FIPP). He holds a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Stanford and has published in the lumbar decompression and electromedicine literature. A significant percentage of his pain practice has involved personal injury patients, where he has often served as the treating expert. He has testified in 4-5 court cases and given 40+ depositions. Most have been on the plaintiff’s side, but he has recently been involved in defense cases as well. Cases include personal injury (mostly plaintiff) and medical malpractice (defense and plaintiff).

His expertise is in pain management, most aspects of interventional pain management including overutilization and overbilling, and anesthesiology (except cardiac and pediatric), and he has reviewed cases and testified in both areas.
