For years I have practiced a profession that many do not think about or know about until they need me. Pain medicine is a field that allows me to interact with patients whom have nowhere else to turn, and I thrive on that opportunity to make a difference.
I completed medical school at the University of Tennessee and followed that up by completing my anesthesiology residency at the University of Miami. Despite be challenged with many difficult cases in trauma, neurosurgery, orthopedics, and organ transplants, I found I was drawn to treating patients with severe pain, both acute and chronic. Upon completion of residency I pursued a fellowship in pain medicine at the well renown University of Pittsburgh Medical Center and trained under nationally respected and well published medical staff at that institution.
My practice has always focused on a well balanced approach to treating pain including, but not limited to, medication management, procedural interventions, medical marijuana, cognitive behavioral therapy, physical therapy, chiropractic medicine, and acupuncture. While at times it can be impossible to get someone 100% back to where they used to be, my goal and aim is to get you as close as possible.
