Pain Medicine Specialist
Pain Medicine is the medical discipline concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of the entire range of painful disorders. An Anesthesiologist who specializes in Pain Medicine provides a high level of care, either as a primary physician or consultant, for patients experiencing problems with acute, chronic and/or cancer pain in both hospital and ambulatory settings. Due to the vast scope of the field, Pain Medicine is a multidisciplinary subspecialty and patient care needs may be coordinated with other specialists.

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, also referred to as Rehabilitation Medicine, is the medical specialty concerned with evaluating, diagnosing, and treating patients with physical disabilities. These disabilities may arise from conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system such as neck and back pain, sports injuries or other painful conditions affecting the limbs, for example, carpal tunnel syndrome. Alternatively, the disabilities may result from neurological trauma or disease such as spinal cord injury, head injury or stroke.

From the Doctor:
I am a spine and nerve specialist and focus on helping people who are suffering from pain. I discovered my passion for reducing people’s pain when I was doing my residency and working with people who have spinal cord injuries like Christopher Reeve.
My goal is to work with you and your orthopedic doctor to ensure that you receive a successful result from your treatments.
