About

Clinical Expertise You Can Put on the Stand

Lucas Suder, MD

I am a board-certified anesthesiologist with training at one of the nation's highest-acuity residency programs — LAC+USC Medical Center — and attending experience spanning Level I trauma, high-risk obstetrics, major vascular, neurosurgery, spine, and regional anesthesia.

My background includes military service as a Captain in the United States Air Force, independent practice across academic medical centers and ambulatory surgery centers, and current participation in hospital quality and operations committees. I bring the same analytical rigor I apply in the operating room to the review of complex medical records.
