About the practice

Comprehensive pain medicine, practiced carefully

Our team of anesthesiologists, pain medicine physicians, nurse practitioners and certified physician assistants takes a holistic view of pain — combining interventional therapy, thoughtful medication management and genuine patient education.

Our approach

Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.

Most patients arrive here after a long detour. They have seen a primary care physician, perhaps a surgeon, maybe an emergency department, and they have collected imaging reports and prescriptions without ever receiving a clear explanation of what is actually generating their pain.

We begin differently. The first appointment is an evaluation, not a procedure: a complete history, a focused physical examination and an independent review of your imaging. Where the examination leaves the source uncertain, a diagnostic block can confirm it directly before any long-term treatment is chosen.

From that diagnosis we build a plan that usually combines more than one element — an image-guided procedure to reduce the pain, medication used precisely rather than broadly, and a rehabilitation or activity plan to keep the improvement. Our physicians also provide hospital consultation and on-call coverage for patients admitted with severe or complex pain.

We are candid about what treatment can and cannot do. Some conditions can be resolved. Many can be substantially controlled. Our commitment is that you will always understand which category you are in and what the plan is designed to achieve.
