Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine (MSD)
Clinical Focus
Anesthesia, Regional Anesthesiology and Acute Pain Medicine
Research Interests
My clinical research interests include the development of techniques and patient care pathways to improve postoperative pain control and other surgical outcomes. I am particularly interested in using regional anesthesiology, the science and practice of modulating nerve transmission in the central neuraxis or within peripheral nerves, to produce target-specific and opioid-sparing pain relief and enhance recovery after surgery or injury.
