Meet Our Board-Certified Pain Medicine Doctors

When you live with daily pain, you have no time, nor energy or patience, for dealing with medical care that doesn’t deliver the one thing you need: pain relief.

Unfortunately, far too large a percentage of the population in the United States deals with pain; 39% has experience with back pain, more than 36% struggles with lower limb pain, and nearly 31% deals with upper limb pain. All together, about 51.6 million Americans are in chronic pain.

Here at Apex Pain Specialists, our board-certified pain medicine doctors — Maziar Massrour, MD, and Naveen Reddy, MD — are doing their part to offer much-needed relief.

Here, we take a closer look at our doctors and why their qualifications, training, and experience matter when it comes to your pain management.

What does board certification mean?

Both Dr. Massrour and Dr. Reddy are board certified in pain medicine and anesthesiology and we want to explain what that means.

The American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) offers certification in 40 specialties and 89 subspecialties in medical care, including the aforementioned pain medicine and anesthesiology.

The goal of this certification is simple: to provide a higher standard of professionalism and care. Getting certified, however, isn’t simple, and medical providers have to show that they have a firm understanding of the specialty through an exam at the end of their residency.

And certification doesn’t end there as medical providers have to maintain their certification by committing to, “Keeping your medical knowledge current, your skills sharp, and your quality improving,” according to the ABMS. This is accomplished through continuing recertification.

Ultimately, board certification is designed to benefit patients by ensuring that doctors not only understand their field at a higher level, but that they continue to stay abreast of critical advances.

Experience matters

Getting certified is one important step toward delivering quality pain management care, but experience is equally as important.

Both Dr. Reddy and Dr. Massrour have more than 20 years each of invaluable boots-on-the-ground experience as pain management doctors. And if there’s one thing they’ve learned along the way, it’s that no two people experience pain in the same way.

So, while a certification exam is one thing, and a good thing, experience delivers some important lessons as well. Lessons that we can build on to improve our care.

One-on-one care

Dr. Massrour and Dr. Reddy understand that each patient is unique, and that pain is often a moving target. This is why, any time you visit Apex Pain Specialists, you’ll be sitting down with one of the doctors so that they can personally oversee your pain management journey.

This hands-on care is incredibly important, as pain can change over time and we want to stay ahead of it so that it doesn’t hijack your life.

So, if you want to get the best in pain management care, we invite you to call our office in Chandler, Arizona, at 480-820-7246 or book an appointment online today.
