Dr. Sriniketh Sundar specializes in interventional pain management. As an anesthesiologist a part of what he does is to help relieve pain in patients throughout the perioperative phase. As an interventional pain physician his goal is to apply the same principle to help patients address their pain not only during surgery but at any phase of their lives. With the use of minimally invasive procedures (in conjunction with lifestyle modifications and physical therapy), he hopes to help improve a patient’s function and quality of life. Dr. Sundar finds the field interesting because of the ever-evolving advancements and technologies in treatment options available to patients, combined with existing information about the fields of pain and neuroscience.
In his free time, Dr. Sundar enjoys cooking, watch collecting, photography, playing classical guitar, and improving his golf game in addition to spending time with his wife, their young son, and their dog Moose.
