Velazquez Pain Relief Center

My philosophy is that I am much more than your pain doctor. My goal is that together, you and I push to improve every day to get you back to living the best years of your life. I completed my undergraduate degree in Biochemistry at University of Miami, and then completed a Masters Degree in Biomedical Science at Barry University. The following year I began medical school at University of South Florida, and once complete, I elected to enter into an Anesthesiology residency at the University of Miami. I thoroughly enjoy the practice of anesthesiology and developed a great deal of pride in my practice. I worked as a trauma anesthesiologist in Miami at a private hospital, and then moved to Las Vegas to practice anesthesiology as well. I am married to an incredible woman, whom I met during my residency in Miami, and she is also a great anesthesiologist. Together we practiced in Las Vegas and found the city to offer a great new opportunity for us; an opportunity for us to completely transform our lives and contribute significantly more to our community during our lifetimes. This opportunity was the practice of pain management, which I consider one of the most important, yet most poorly understood and mismanaged fields in medicine. I immediately moved to rededicate my life to the pursuit of excellence in treating pain. I accepted an ACGME-accredited interventional pain medicine position at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in California, and began to develop a deep understanding of the nature of chronic pain, which burdens us not only physically, but emotionally as well.
