Jan-2020
The work he did was a god send....the pain was gone immediately. But he didn't say anything to me before he left the room. I didn't even know he had left. In fact he didn't say much to me at all. I realize he was busy but it would be nice if he showed he cared about the person.

Dr. Robert Corba is a board-certified Pain Specialist and Anesthesiologist. He completed his anesthesiology residency and interventional pain management fellowship at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. Dr. Corba grew up in Wilkes-Barre, PA and did his undergraduate studies at the University of Scranton and earned his doctorate degree at The Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine. He served in the Public Health Service while in medical school and is one of two residents in the history of Thomas Jefferson University Hospital to receive the Arthur Tarrow Award for research excellence two years in a row.
Dr. Corba began the division of Interventional Pain Medicine at MCP Hahnemann University Hospital in 1998 after completing fellowship. In 2001, he and his wife, a native of the Lehigh Valley, moved to Allentown to be closer to family. While at LVH he was the Director of Clinical Research until 2004 and then became instrumental in developing a pain fellowship in conjunction with Drexel Medical School and was the Director of Fellowship Training and Resident Education.
He enjoys watching his patients return to function and activity, and feels that some of the most rewarding patients are the ones that are the most limited because they are often the most appreciative when they get even a small amount of return of functional activity.
