Pain Medicine
Interventional Pain Management utilizes a multidisciplinary approach to provide a full range of services and treatments for acute or chronic pain patients. Pain management injections are safe and effective, can provide longer-term solutions than oral medications, and are a less invasive option than surgery.
I have practiced medicine for several years and have treated thousands of patients. I appreciate that people trust me to help them with their pain care. My objective is to relieve, reduce, or manage pain and improve a patient’s overall quality of life. This is accomplished through minimally invasive techniques specifically designed to properly diagnose and treat painful conditions. The ultimate goal is to help my patient return to their everyday activities as soon as possible and without heavy reliance on medications.
