Erik Davis, MD, is an experienced, double board-certified pain management physician at Louisiana Pain Specialists, with locations in Kenner, Metairie, Laplace, Baton Rouge, Marrero, and New Orleans, Louisiana. He is board-certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation and in pain management.
After training outside of New Orleans for nearly a decade, Dr. Davis returned to his hometown of New Orleans to join the exceptional team at Louisiana Pain Specialists. He is fascinated by the challenge of medicine, complexity of the human body, and ability to work with his hands through innovative procedures. He’s a lifelong learner in the field of pain management.
As an athlete who played football and wrestled at Brother Martin High School in the New Orleans area, Dr. Davis was drawn to the medical profession. His injuries required four knee surgeries with two pins placed in his ankle, and he appreciated the doctor who helped him get back out on the field and mat.
Dr. Davis earned his medical degree from Meharry Medical College in Nashville, Tennessee, after completing his undergraduate studies at Xavier University in New Orleans, Louisiana. He went on to complete a year of surgical internship training at Morehouse School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia, followed by a residency in physical medicine and rehabilitation at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
He finished his medical training with an interventional spine and sports medicine fellowship at Alabama Orthopedic Spine and Sports Medicine Associates in Birmingham. Prior to joining Louisiana Pain Specialists, he worked at the National Spine & Pain Centers in Fairfax, Virginia.
Dr. Davis has mastered advanced procedures like cervical, thoracic, and lumbar epidurals, facet joint treatments, medial branch blocks, and radiofrequency ablation, as well as intradiscal injections, sympathetic blocks, kyphoplasty, spinal cord stimulation, and ultrasound-guided joint injections for pain relief.
Like the doctor who helped him in his youth, Dr. Davis passionately restores musculoskeletal function in people of all ages. He discovers the source of pain quickly and immediately treats it in the least invasive way possible.
Dr. Davis warmly welcomes his patients to Louisiana Pain Specialists.
Dr. Neil Jolly’s core philosophy when providing care is that “every patient will be treated just as I would my own family member.” After 13 years training alongside experts in anesthesiology and interventional pain medicine at Yale, Wake Forest, and the University of Texas, he eagerly returned to his hometown New Orleans in 2016. Double-Board Certified in anesthesiology and pain medicine, Dr. Jolly serves as the CEO and President of Louisiana Pain Specialists, the largest group of interventional pain clinics in Louisiana with nearly 40,000 encounters annually. Their focus is on evidence-based, minimally-invasive interventions along with opioid-reducing topicals and pharmaceuticals. Dr. Jolly has lectured several times nationally on chronic pain and has collaborated with agencies such as the DEA and Attorney General’s office during the opioid epidemic, and he has consulted for several fortune 500 companies - particularly in the field of neuromodulation.
After becoming a partner at Crescent View Surgery Center in 2016, Dr. Jolly led the Center’s growth initiatives, expanding service lines and physician recruitment. At the forefront of the surgery center’s turnaround, he was responsible for exponential growth leading to a majority stake sale of the Center to publicly-traded Surgery Partners (Nashville, TN) in 2018. In addition to leading the Center as Medical Director for the past 7 years, Dr. Jolly is the Director of Pain Management and past Vice Chair of Surgery at LCMC’s New Orleans East Hospital. Dr. Jolly uses these early-career experiences to mentor young physicians joining private practice and offers advice to healthcare startups and practices in the local community.
Most recently, Dr. Jolly was recognized for his Long Covid treatment protocols for reversing patients’ symptoms of loss in taste and smell, as well as treatments for severe anxiety and PTSD utilizing a specialized procedure called the stellate ganglion block. He is one of only a handful of physicians elected to Stella, a national organization offering potentially life-altering treatments for these conditions that are otherwise not covered by traditional insurance plans.
Dr. Jolly remains a strong advocate for fostering business development in New Orleans, and was recently nominated to NextGen Counsel. As firm believers in the “pay it forward” mentality, he and his wife, Rena, are very active in numerous charitable organizations in the community. Dr. Jolly’s continued commitment to his hometown, though, is only possible through the unwavering support of his incredibly talented wife and two beautiful young daughters, Maya and Sona.

Upon returning to New Orleans, Dr. Kaufman was named Chairman of the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department at Ochsner Clinic Foundation, where he worked for nearly 15 years. He also served as Chairman of the Occupational Medicine Department.
While at Ochsner, Dr. Kaufman cared for patients with varying needs. Many had head injuries, amputations, severe trauma, and significant pain. Dr. Kaufman performed the majority of rehabilitation consultations.
