About me
Caring for my patients is a huge responsibility. I understand how chronic pain affects a patient's life in many ways. I do everything I can to help resolve their pain.
As an interventional pain physician, I have many ways to help ease my patients' chronic pain. Since there is no tool to measure someone's pain, I listen attentively to my patients to understand how they feel. I work hard to pinpoint the underlying sources of their pain to determine the right procedures, if needed, to eliminate the pain.
When someone has chronic pain, it can affect their family members almost as much as it affects them. When treating my patients, I welcome their family and friends to attend their appointments. I share my clinical findings, possible diagnosis, and treatment plan with my patients and family members. Their understanding and contribution to the plan are crucial to treatment success.
I treat my patients with respect and courtesy, the same treatment I would want for myself or my family members. I am a very social and sympathetic person. I enjoy talking and listening to people. My patients are very special to me, and I feel honored that they have selected me as their interventional pain specialist.
