Hello! I’m a Board Certified Psychiatrist in practice for 15 years in Pennsylvania. I have a private practice, working mostly with patients in chronic pain. I also teach psychiatry residents and do research in chronic pain. My guiding principle in practicing as a physician is to help patients in all areas of their lives - medical, psychological and spiritual. Chronic pain is a challenge to your spirit, but a challenge that can always be faced and your situation improved.
I also know the challenge of chronic pain first-hand, having experienced a chronic pain condition myself for many years. Thankfully, my situation has improved, though is hasn’t been cured. I use my personal understanding of what it’s like to live with chronic pain in my work as a pain management physician.

Hi HtCwP,
Read about you in Rochester magazine and looked up your website. Probably won’t be attending the 20th reunion in Sept. Congratulations on your work!
Take Care,
Don

Dear HtCwP,
My colleague and I are trying to get into your seminar at the Academy of Pain Management in Las Vegas concerning he prescription of pain medicine. It has been a challenge in our field. Do you know how we could get in to hear your class?

Dave, I assume anyone would be able to attend the conference. Is there a specific problem?

Great to have found you! 20+ years of chronic pain; 29 surgeries and bouts of CFS/FM.
I totally believe that 2Cor.1:3-7 is life verse for me.

I like how you disclose a lot of the long term side effects on the antidepressants/psychotic meds
