Dr. Robert H Odell
Las Vegas, NV 89117
Fax: 702-257-7129
Dr. Odell is a Stanford and UCLA trained practicing anesthesiologist and pain management physician, board certified in both. He also holds a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Stanford and has published in the electromedicine literature. He has actively been practicing pain medicine for the past six years, and a large percentage of his practice has involved medical-legal cases.
His experience includes more than 30 depositions and trials. His goal as a treating expert is to provide an accurate assessment of a patient's condition, to treat if possible, and to enable attorneys to make reasonable, informed decisions about the case. As a non-treating (outside) expert, his goal is to provide an accurate and honest assessment of a case regardless of for which "side" he has been hired.
