We are fortunate to live in a time when we have access to a vast amount of information to assist us in making informed decisions about our health needs.  Unfortunately there is a wealth of misinformation that has no scientific basis and one can easily be misled about questionable treatments and medications.   These may be profitable for practitioners, but not necessarily effective, safe, or beneficial for patients.

The information on this website attempts to educate you about what treatments are effective and what I, as a pain management physician, honestly think the advantages and disadvantages of the available procedures and treatments are.  I hope you can use this information to educate yourself and help you make better decisions about your own care, no matter who you choose.

At Coast Pain Management our approach to patient care incorporates a comprehensive evaluation in treating pain through respect, education and thought provoking evidence based treatments of the highest caliber.
