Roger Kasendorf, DO Physician Roger Kasendorf, DO, is a board-certified osteopathic physician and physiatrist specializing in pain management, physical medicine, and rehabilitation. He practices in the San Diego area and treats a broad range of musculoskeletal and pain conditions, from acute injuries to chronic pain that has remained unresolved for years. In addition to clinical practice, he teaches at three osteopathic medical schools, serves as a board examiner for his specialty boards, and provides medicolegal consulting as an independent medical examiner and expert witness. His approach has remained consistent since residency: focus on what a patient has lost the ability to do rather than only on the label given to the condition.
A Career Rooted in Osteopathic Medicine He earned a Bachelor of Science in Nutritional Science from the University of Maryland, College Park, in 1999. This educational path reflected an early interest in understanding how the body functions as a whole rather than viewing its parts separately. He continued his education at the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine in Old Westbury, New York, where he earned his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree in 2003. He completed a traditional rotating internship at North Shore University Hospital in Plainview. He then completed a residency in physical medicine and rehabilitation at Nassau University Medical
