Pain Management Center Staff Listing

The medical staff of the Brigham and Women's Pain Management Center includes anesthesiologists, neurologists, a physiatrist, a psychologist, and an acupuncturist. As a major teaching institution, we have a full complement of Pain Management Fellows, as well as rotating second- and third-year anesthesiology residents. Our training of future pain management specialists will always be a top priority of our center, but the delivery of superior patient care is never compromised, and close supervision of our young colleagues is the rule. Each patient is always followed by one attending physician to ensure continuity and quality of care.

The medical staff is also supported by a quality team dedicated to caring for the chronic pain patient. The role of physical therapy, occupational therapy, and vocational rehabilitation is being expanded to attain our goal of becoming a truly multidisciplinary program and Center of Excellence.
