Overview

I've always had a strong interest in science, but I knew that working in a lab wasn’t for me. That led me in the direction of becoming a physician, so I could spend more time directly helping people. I knew early-on that I didn’t want to pursue the surgical route of treating patients, I wanted to help people non-surgically. This led me to the field of physiatry/pain medicine, which offers non-surgical solutions to help patients dealing with pain. I specialize in helping patients with procedural and non-procedural treatment options. Some of the advanced techniques that I utilize include spine injections, image-guided procedures, and Botox for pain relief. Pain is very variable and affects people in different ways. I like to get to know my patients well, so I can make sure they are receiving the treatment that’s best for them. In my spare time, I enjoy traveling and spending time with my family.

I am an interventional pain physician with a focus on using procedural techniques to decrease pain and the need for medications. My main area of interest is a type of pain therapy called neurostimulation. Neurostimulation uses electrical signals delivered to the nervous system to treat a wide array of chronic pain conditions. There are many ways to apply this treatment including spinal cord stimulation, peripheral nerve stimulation, and dorsal root ganglion stimulation. The improvements I have seen in patients using stimulation therapy allow for long term satisfaction. I hope to continue to expand use of this exciting therapy to improve the quality of life of my patients. Dr. Roy is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Facet Joint Syndrome. His top areas of expertise are Facet Joint Syndrome and Phantom Limb Pain.
