With an emphasis on preventing pain from becoming chronic, I try to manage pain without relying on opioid medications using a multi-disciplinary approach involving pain psychologists, physical therapists, complementary and integrative approaches. In addition to a range of injection-based procedures using fluoroscopy or ultrasound, I perform advanced interventional procedures such as radiofrequency ablation, spinal cord, dorsal root ganglion, and peripheral nerve stimulation.

As the director of the only academic inpatient pain program in western United States, I oversee an intensive 5-10 day hospital based program that provides medication optimization, physical reconditioning, behavioral modification training, and mood stabilization for patients with complex, debilitating chronic pain conditions.
