Why patients choose Dr. Peruvemba
Chronic pain is one of the areas where accumulated pattern recognition counts for a great deal: the same back pain presentation can be a disc, a facet joint, a nerve root, or a problem that will not respond to any injection at all, and telling them apart early spares patients months of procedures that were never going to help. With 18-plus years focused specifically on interventional pain medicine within a longer anesthesiology career, Dr. Peruvemba brings that history to diagnosis as much as to treatment.
Practice focus
Interventional treatment of spinal pain, nerve injury pain, post-surgical pain, and cancer pain.
