Where did you grow up and how did you become interested in medicine?

I grew up on the southwest side of Chicago. My dad worked three jobs, but his primary job was a homicide detective in the city of Chicago. My mom worked a bunch of odd jobs after we got a little bit older. I don't know that there was one particular moment that drew me to science or medicine.

What attracted you to anesthesiology and then pain management?

It's a very cerebral profession in a way, not unlike critical care or internal medicine, but there is a procedural aspect as well.

Tell us about your training

I completed four years of medical school at Creighton University College of Medicine in Omaha. I completed my internship in Arizona, then three years of residency in anesthesiology at the University of South Florida in Tampa. I then practiced for 10 years as an anesthesiologist at a Level 1 Trauma Center outside of Chicago.

How do you explain to patients what pain management specialists do?

Well, it’s tough but you’ll often hear me say that I don't have fairy dust. I can’t fix something like chronic pain immediately or even completely.

Where does a pain management specialist fit in the continuum of care?

Cases where patients have been referred by other physicians, such as primary care providers or surgeons, work well in pain management because the patient history and underlying causes have been sorted out to some degree. The more information I have at the first office visit, the faster treatments proceed.

What are your impressions so far of Wyoming Medical Center and the medical community in Casper?
