Networking Event

Dr. Kondamuri has been involved in evaluating medical-legal issues related to pain management and spine care since 1995. I am approached regularly by both plaintiff and defense attorneys across the country to render an opinion. Satisfied clients not only cite his credibility and insightful approach to complex cases, but also praise his capacity to connect with a jury by explaining complex medical data in layman’s terms.

 

Dr. Kondamuri has extensive clinical experience and varied pain management interests, including management of chronic/complex pain syndromes using interventional modalities and multidisciplinary pain management, and the use of advanced neuro-modulation and radiofrequency rhizotomy techniques for chronic pain conditions.  He spends more time with his patients than most other physicians to develop a rapport with  them and to obtain detailed histories as this gives a much better feel for a patient clinically and if a legal matter arises.

 

Additional points:

  • Dr. Kondamuri has helped many thousands of patients manage and cure their chronic pain

  • He has been the managing director of Midwest Interventional Spine Specialists, a single specialty, multi-physician practice, since its inception in 1996.

  • He enjoys teaching and mentoring medical students at IU School of Medicine via the pain management elective for senior medical students

  • He lectures on the proper use of medications (opioid medications in particular) for various academic and workers comp organizations

  • He serves as an expert pain management resource for plaintiff and defense attorneys across the nation

  • Speaking to organizations about how to achieve results in the area of pain management

  • Author of A Legal Primer on CRPS for Attorneys
