The professionals at IPS are highly trained, skilled, and experienced at treating a broad range of painful disorders, and staff members continue to participate in training specific to pain management. Moreover, as authorities on pain management, the staff of IPS conducts training on the latest pain management techniques for physicians throughout California. The Integrated Pain Specialist Medical Director, Dr. Kevin S. Smith, is a Diplomat of the American Board of Anesthesiology ABA, with a Subspecialty Certification in Pain Medicine, and is also a Qualified Medical Evaluator with the Department of Industrial Relations. He began his life-long focus on pain-management while attending to burn victims of the 1988 Radcliffe, Kentucky church-bus accident and fire that claimed 34 victims and 27 lives.
Those who treat pain must be sensitive to its effects. The staff at IPS understands the far reaching medical, physiological, and emotional effects of pain and is dedicated to providing compassionate, professional, care that will improve the quality of life for patients, families, and friends whose lives are diminished by debilitating effects of acute or chronic pain.
