Robert Freed, M.D.
Pittsburgh, PA 15238
I am uniquely positioned to opine on imaging of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis, with dual fellowships in Abdominal Imaging and Emergency Radiology from UPMC—where I also served as faculty—and a full-time practice at Midwest Radiology, the nation’s largest physician-owned group (180+ radiologists).
My daily work focuses on high-volume CT and MRI interpretation for emergency patients, giving me both academic rigor and real-world perspective. I specialize in malpractice cases involving missed or delayed diagnoses, ER imaging interpretation, and complex abdominal and chest pathology. Attorneys and paralegals can rely on me for meticulous, well-documented reports, dependable turnaround, and testimony that makes complex imaging understandable.
I am also pursuing multiple AI certifications, with a particular interest in how evolving technology will reshape the standard of care in radiology.
