Welcome to Pain.com!

In addition to updating the site, we’ve also spent some time looking for people to join our Advisory Board who can really help Pain.com evolve into a strong informational resource for today’s pain management professionals. This week, we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Robert Schwartz.

Dr. Schwartz is in private practice in South Carolina where he specializes in pain diagnosis and treatment, vascular medicine, and non-surgical specialty care.

Dr. Schwartz completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Michigan, attended medical school at Wayne State University, and completed his residency in physical medicine and rehabilitation at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, Texas. He is board certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation, pain management, electrodiagnostic medicine, orthopedic medicine, and thermology. Dr. Schwartz is also a fellow of the Society for Vascular Medicine and Biology. “Dannemiller (Pain.com’s owner) is an established and well-recognized name in medical education. Given their decision to broaden Pain.com's scope of web-based health education resources and advocacy tools, I am delighted to become a member of its medical advisory board,” said Dr. Schwartz on his acceptance of our invitation.

When he’s not working with patients, Dr. Schwartz is a sought after presenter and lecturer. He also donates a good amount of time to working with patient support groups. He is a strong advocate of patient-centered health care, and has incorporated this practice philosophy into his office. We’re delighted he’s agreed to share his expertise with us at Pain.com.
