My main area of interest as an Anesthesiologist and Pain Medicine Physician is Interventional Pain Management. This encompasses the use of various regional techniques for pain control—such as drug injections, radiofrequency, or cryoablation—improving analgesic outcomes, enhanced patient quality of life, and a reduction in the need for conventional pharmacological treatments, thereby minimizing the risk of side effects.
