Philosophy
"In my experience, pain typically affects not just the patient, but also their family. I believe educating and involving both patients and their loved ones on the treatment options will lead to great success and satisfaction. Treating pain shouldn't just be about reducing a pain score, but also about improving the patient's quality of life and, hopefully, that of their loved ones. I strive to provide my patients with long-lasting treatment options that identify and treat the root cause of pain, rather than simply covering it up."- Dr. K! Welcome to the team, Dr. Kassamali!
