Frequently asked questions

What does a pain medicine expert witness do?

A pain medicine expert witness is a anesthesiology subspecialist who reviews records and testifies on interventional pain procedures and opioid management. Their fellowship training carries particular weight when the disputed care falls inside this subspecialty.

Do I need a pain medicine subspecialist, or is a general anesthesiology expert enough?

When the care at issue was delivered by (or should have involved) a subspecialist, courts and opposing counsel expect a matching subspecialist. For general anesthesiology questions, a board-certified anesthesiology expert may suffice — we help you make that call at no charge.

How much does a pain medicine expert witness cost?

Subspecialists typically price at or slightly above general anesthesiology rates. Every Retain expert publishes a full fee schedule before you commit.
