Overview
I am currently working as the Division Chief of Pain Medicine at the Atlanta VA Health Care System. I serve as the Chair of the Atlanta VA Pain Management Committee. I am also the Regional VISN 7 (Veterans Integrated Service Network) Pain Consultant for Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina.
My research focuses on treatment modalities including complementary integrative medicine for chronic low back pain. I also have interest in the relationship between the fields of pain and immunology and am currently investigating the humoral immune effects of chronic opioid therapy.
