Why I enjoy what I do:
It is a privilege to assist individuals dealing with acute and chronic pain. Furthermore, I take great satisfaction in contributing to the scientific community through research, guideline development, teaching, and involvement in professional societies within a medical field that continually evolves and expands its treatment modalities.
How I became interested in neuromodulation:
During my fellowship at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, I developed a significant interest in neuromodulation. I observed firsthand the significant advantages of this therapy in managing complex pain conditions, particularly those with few available treatment options. Furthermore, the rapid advancements in our understanding of this therapy including areas surrounding mechanism of action, programming and safe and efficacious deployment have continued to allow for significant improvement in clinical outcomes.
The best thing about NANS:
The best thing about NANS is getting to work with a passionate group of individuals, many which have become great friends, that are focused on helping many patients and improving a specific area of medicine (i.e. neuromodulation) through research and advocacy.
