Still taking it all in…
Being named one of ‘s America’s Leading Doctors for 2025 in Pain Management is deeply humbling not just for the recognition itself, but for what it stands for.
Behind this honor are the quiet moments:
🩺 Listening to a patient who’s lost hope
🧠 Designing care plans that offer a way forward without dependence on opioids
👐 Holding space for someone in pain physical, emotional, or both
Newsweek, in partnership with Statista, used a rigorous selection process:
✔️ Real-world treatment outcomes
✔️ Recommendations from thousands of respected peers across the country
✔️ Commitment to quality, safety, and board-certified excellence
✔️ And a drive to raise the standard of care in every encounter
This recognition is not just about the work I’ve done , it’s about the mission I’ve dedicated my life to:
To restore dignity through pain relief.
To fight the opioid crisis with proven, alternative solutions.
To stand behind legislation like the NOPAIN Act, because patients deserve access to safer options.
I share this with my patients, my incredible team at Reno Tahoe Pain Associates, United Pain Urgent Care and all the advocates and clinicians who believe in something better and our medical communities in Reno, Renown Health , Northern Nevada Health System and Saint Mary’s Health Network
Thank you for trusting me with your pain, your stories, and your healing.
We’re just getting started. 🙏🏼
