Is an interventional pain management specialist
appropriate for me?
Many painful conditions can be successfully treated by your local family
physician. If your pain persists and does not improve with treatment,
discuss with your family physician whether a referral to a pain management
specialist or comprehensive pain management center might be appropriate
for you.
You may also be considered for evaluation at Pain Management Center
without a referral. We will review your records prior to evaluation and
judge suitability for further evaluation. If we believe, we may be able
to assist you, we will conduct a comprehensive evaluation and inform
you about your suitability for management.
We accept you without a referral if you meet criteria and your insurance
does not need a referral to cover our services.
