“It was during my anesthesiology residency that I began to truly understand how chronic pain works. Today, I spend a lot of time with my patients to understand the source of their pain, and I use both Western and alternative therapies to help ease it. When you walk in my office, I trulywant the best for you. I don’t settle for mild success but believe in the completion of what we started together.”
