The Cleveland Clinic Pain Management Department has been named as one of the nation’s best pain clinics by Good Housekeeping magazine. Good Housekeeping partnered with Castle Connolly Medical Ltd., publisher of the America’s Top Doctors books, to identify the top U.S. pain management centers. Results of this physician-led research appear in the magazine’s May issue, now on newsstands.
"We strive to deliver the highest quality of care for those suffering with chronic pain. Nothing is more satisfying than helping people to conquer pain and regain their lives," said Nagy Mekhail, M.D., Ph.D., chairman of The Cleveland Clinic Pain Management Department.
Directed by physicians in the Clinic’s Division of Anesthesiology, The Cleveland Clinic Pain Management Department utilizes a multidisciplinary approach to pain treatment. In addition to pain management physicians, the team includes nurses and nurse clinicians, psychologists, occupational and physical therapists, complementary medicine and social workers. The Pain Management Department also is linked closely with The Cleveland Clinic Departments of Psychiatry and Psychology, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Neurosurgery, Orthopaedic Surgery, the Taussig Cancer Center and the Spine Center.
