Personal Statement

As an interventional pain physician and anesthesiologist, I work collaboratively with patients through a multifaceted approach involving procedural interventions, pharmacotherapy, rehabilitation and holistic therapies to manage their pain and improve their function and quality of life. I strongly believe in the importance of looking at the big picture and developing personalized treatment strategies to empower patients and help them reach their goals.
