Dr. McDermott listens. That may seem simple but it’s not. Finding a care provider that truly LISTENS to what you tell him. His knowledge is incredible and he truly cares about finding a true solution, not just throw prescriptions at you. I am beyond thankful to have him on my Care Team!

I had an excellent experience with my pain management doctor today. From the moment the appointment began, he was attentive, thorough, and genuinely focused on understanding my situation. He took the time to listen carefully to my concerns and didn’t rush through any part of the visit.
What really stood out was how clearly he explained everything. He broke down complex information in a way that made it easy to understand, which helped me feel more confident and informed about my condition. He also worked with me to explore new ways of identifying the root cause of my pain, offering thoughtful suggestions and next steps rather than just quick fixes.
I left the appointment feeling heard, supported, and optimistic about moving forward. It’s not always easy to find a doctor who combines professionalism, knowledge, and compassion so effectively, but he truly did. I would highly recommend

Explained everything to me, very thorough. Friendly, straight forward with his assessment and clear about what could be done at this point in time.
Dr. Hugh McDermott, M.D. joins the Spine Nevada Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation department after completing fellowship-training in Pain Medicine at Emory University in Atlanta. He is board-certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Before his fellowship, Dr. McDermott fulfilled residency training in Physical Medicine and Rehab at Emory University and the University of Loyola. He completed a transitional year of training and education at Presence Health-St. Joseph Hospital as a follow up to medical school at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
Dr. McDermott’s procedural experience includes interventional spine and musculoskeletal injections, radiofrequency ablations, electrodiagnostic studies, sacroiliac joint fusions, vertebral augmentation, and peripheral nerve stimulation.
Dr. McDermott is a member of the Association of Academic Physiatrists, the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, the Spine Interventional Society, the North American Spine Society, the American Academy of Pain Medicine, the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine, and the Interventional Orthobiologic Foundation.
He strives to exhaust all conservative measures to help patients return to a more active life with their families and work. He also understands the importance of keeping the human element in healthcare. “I often find that making time for quality discussion during the clinic visit helps my patients’ aches and pains as much as any other treatment options available to them,” says Dr. McDermott.
