All of Pain Management Associates physicians practice pain medicine on a full-time basis. This differentiates our physicians from others who practice surgical anesthesia and may perform some occasional pain management procedures.
Our physicians practice pain medicine exclusively, and we offer a wide spectrum of today's state-of-the-art pain treatments. Our progressive, growing group provides care for nearly 30,000 patients annually in two private clinics KC Pain Centers-East; location 291 Hwy. & 40 Hwy. In Independence, and KC Pain Center-South, located at I-435 & Holmes Rd, and in six hospital-based within the Greater Kansas City metro-area. We make daily inpatient rounds and have a physician's on-call 24 hours a day.
We provide the latest resources and strive to offer patients the highest quality pain care.
