    When you receive pain treatment with the pain clinics in tennessee doctors, you will be treated with respect, compassion and expert therapies.The physicians are typically able to provide relief for you, while helping avoid the need for potentially risky surgery. While you might feel as if there is no hope, you would be wrong! The Board Certified pain doctors in Nashville.

    Where did you get this list from? Just curious if it is credible or not. I live in San Antonio, Texas and am having a difficult time finding somebody with experience. I see that there is a doctor in Austin on the list which is only like an hour drive for us. Totally worth it if she knows what she is doing and has performed many of these surgeries before.

      Hello,I know this is an old post but if you havent had any luck you can contact Dr. David F. Jimenez in San Antonio, TX. He successfully performed my decompression surgery last April and I'm actually living again (instead of just existing)!
