A Note to Future Patients on Pain Management:
We understand how pain can affect your life and the lives of those you love. As a comprehensive pain management practice, Pain Specialists is proud to offer a variety of treatment solutions that enable our patients to safely and effectively manage their unique pain. As board certified pain management physicians, we have the ability to prescribe pain medications but emphasize that narcotics are ONE avenue of pain therapy and do NOT represent any sole method of pain control. There is no implied or expressed patient right to narcotic therapy in our physician’s office. During your first visit, you will receive a thorough evaluation that includes your medical history and a physical examination pertinent to your pain problem. This comprehensive visit with your pain specialist will last approximately 30 minutes. Depending on your condition, we may recommend a combination of procedures and/or therapies to achieve the optimal results.
