Dr. Peterson is the Director of Inpatient Pain Medicine Services at Hospital for Special Surgery. She is board certified in internal medicine and hospice and palliative medicine. Dr. Peterson provides pain management services to chronic and recuperative pain inpatients, coordinates interdisciplinary pain services throughout the hospital and provides consultations to evaluate, diagnose and treat inpatients with complex pain conditions.
An anesthesiologist is someone who anesthetizes patients. They can help sedate patients and put them under for surgeries or other medical procedures. They help prepare their patients for procedures and make sure they are not experiencing any pain or fear associated with the treatment or procedure they are undergoing. They work closely with other doctors, surgeons, and specialists to ensure that patients are being treated properly.
Pain management is a wide branch of medical study, and it can include a complete range of different therapies for those suffering from pain. Since pain can come from many parts of the body for different reasons, the solutions will differ greatly. Some doctors will prescribe pain medication to their patients, but in recent years, there has been a push to explore more medication-free pain management options, such as physical therapy, surgery, and even acupuncture and other alternative therapies.
