Lake Washington Pain Management

We specialize in the use of prescription medications for the management of chronic pain. By utilizing the full range of modern pain relieving medications, in conjunction with other therapies when indicated, we are very successful at realizing our primary goals of improving our patient's comfort level and function, making life "liveable" again. We are happy to take on new patients to optimize and manage their daily pain medication regimens.

We also perform several pain relieving procedures at our clinic which include lumbar epidural steroid injections, myofascial trigger point injections, and joint, tendon, and bursa injections. If we feel a patient might benefit from procedures that we don't offer and the patient agrees, we can make arrangements for the patient to be seen by one of our many excellent interventional pain management colleagues.

Our practice is currently open and accepting new patients. Wait time for appointments is currently very short. We can schedule an initial assessment as soon as we receive the necessary medical records in our office. You must be referred to us by your primary care provider (PCP) or whichever other provider (surgeon, physiatrist, etc.) is currently handling your pain management. If you are struggling with chronic pain issues, most providers are very happy to fax us a consultation request along with copies of your records.
