Overview

Aging puts patients at risk of several disadvantages and challenges. As an anesthesiologist and pain physician, I am interested in looking at interventions that improve pain care of older adults around the time of surgery and for chronic pain. I am also interested in better understanding of these challenges in pain management as they relate to daily functions and quality of life for older adults.
