I am a board certified anesthesiologist and pain management physician focused on helping patients regain function and quality of life through procedures, physical therapy, and medications. I believe that this can most often be accomplished without escalation of opioids.
I have particular interests in neuromodulation (spinal cord, peripheral nerve, and dorsal root ganglion stimulation, along with other advanced therapies).
Common conditions treated: chronic low back and neck pain, radicular pain, painful peripheral neuropathies, complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), chronic joint pain (including persistent pain after knee replacement), vertebral compression fractures (acute and chronic), cancer pain, chronic pain due to other etiologies
