"I understand that chronic pain affects all aspects of the patient’s life. Their pain is real and it impacts their relationships with family, friends and colleagues. My goal is to identify the cause of pain and to treat and manage it in a caring and compassionate manner. I strive further to improve patients’ quality of life by helping them conquer pain to return to being more active, functional and productive. Achieving these goals allows patients to re-establish relationships with family, friends and colleagues."
