From Dr. Brunz Chronic pain can be devastating. While I was in medical training, I had the opportunity to witness the amazing impact that a physician could have on the lives of his patients by helping them reduce their pain. It was this challenging, but rewarding, aspect that led me to the field of pain medicine.
Today, I find it very rewarding working side-by-side with the exceptional team of highly specialized physicians, therapists, nurses, and staff at Orthopedic Institute to achieve the best possible outcomes for our patients.
