Dr. Cyrus Bakhit, M.D., joined National Spine & Pain Centers through a partnership in 2014 after having founded the Pain Management Center of Roanoke (Virginia) in 2000. As an interventional pain management physician, Dr. Bakhit specializes in chronic pain issues including back and joint pain, as well as complex regional pain syndrome.
As a pioneer in the field of pain management, Dr. Bakhit was a founding member of the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians in 1998. At that time, he worked tirelessly to successfully obtain recognition of pain management as a medical specialty. He continues his leadership today as a lifetime board member and as a board certification examiner for the society, which has grown to more than 3,000 members. The society is credited for promoting the practice of safe, high quality yet cost effective interventional pain management techniques and for ensuring patient access to these interventions.
Prior to founding Pain Management Center of Roanoke, Dr. Bakhit practiced at the Pain Management Center of Paducah (Kentucky) for five years.
While completing his residency in anesthesiology in the early 1990s, he also served as clinical instructor at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, S.C.
Dr. Bakhit feels that his diagnostic skills are aided by his educational background in internal medicine, which focuses on the prevention and treatment of a broad spectrum of illnesses. His patients appreciate the time he takes to fully understand their pain and the individualized treatments they receive. He is known for his patient, compassionate care.
Dr. Bakhit says he finds pain management challenging and rewarding. “Often, by the time patients come to us, others in the medical field have given up on them. It’s our job to provide these patients with interventions that will restore their quality of life,” said Dr. Bakhit.
In 2011, Becker’s ASC Review recognized Dr. Bakhit as one of the top Pain Management Physicians in the country.
Articles by Dr. Bakhit have been published in Pain Physician, a journal of the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians, and in Pain Digest.

Dr. Bakhit is so gentle and understanding. Got my fingers crossed that these injections help my unending pain for a good, long time.
Best doctor ever
Dr. Bakhit is truly one of the best doctors I have ever had. I honestly don’t know where I would be today without his care and dedication. With my line of work, I must be physically and mentally prepared for anything that comes my way. Dr. Bakhit understands that and always takes the time to listen to my concerns, evaluate my needs, and find the best possible treatment. He treats me with the utmost dignity, respect, and compassion. What makes his practice even more exceptional is his amazing staff. Everyone is professional, welcoming, and genuinely cares about their patients. I never feel rushed, overlooked, or treated like just another number. Dr. Bakhit has made a tremendous difference in my life and my ability to continue doing the work I love. I am extremely grateful for him and his entire team. I would recommend Dr. Bakhit to anyone looking for a doctor who truly listens, cares, and puts his patients first. He is simply outstanding!
I had been to other pain management places and only DR Bakhit has gaven me pain free days. No other doctor could drop my pain level.
Dr. Bakhit was exceptionally kind and listened carefully to my concerns before suggesting a plan for my treatment. His keen perception of my needs and viable course of action gave me hope that I desperately needed. I am looking forward to making significant progress under his care. The entire staff from the front office to his assistant were so personable and made me feel like they truly cared. Just a wonderful visit!
Vert informing about everything that he is doing .
I’m getting ready to move to Richmond, VA I’m grateful there’s a National Pain and Spine in Richmond, just wish I could bring Dr. Bakhit with me!!!
Been coming to see him for many years. Best pain management Dr I've seen.
Great doctor
Dr. Bakhit did injections for pain in my two shoulders yesterday. Today I am feeling so much better. I would recommend him as highly professional and caring for his patients. I have been going to him over 15 years for chronic pain.
