Overview
My primary interest in pain medicine is interventional pain management procedures. My passion is neuromodulation and I am excited to be on the cutting edge of that field. I perform both spinal cord stimulation and dorsal root ganglion stimulation procedures for patients with specific types of chronic pain. I have had many positive experiences with patients engaging in these types of advanced pain treatment modalities and look forward extending these treatments to other patients.

Providers who actively participate in clinical research are generally at the forefront of the fields and aware of the most up-to-date advances in treatments for their patients.
Duke Innovative Pain Therapies At Brier Creek
I’ve practiced interventional pain and musculoskeletal medicine for the past 20 years, and re-joined Duke in 2010 to build a program that sheds new light onto the treatments for nerve and arthritis pain. I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with many talented clinicians and researchers in the United States and Europe, allowing us to build a program in the Center for Translational Pain Medicine that moves beyond traditional pain medications and avoids many of their risks and complications. Our treatments center around the application of regenerative therapies that promote the active resolution of inflammation and pain for several arthritic conditions. I find it extremely rewarding to watch patients progress during their treatment course and meet their goals. I’m currently the Division Chief for Pain Medicine, a member of Duke’s Center for Translational Pain Medicine, Director of Regenerative Pain Therapies, and serve on the Editorial Board of Pain Medicine.
