Southeast Pain Care (SEPC), a division of the national medical group American Anesthesiology, now offers extended hours at its Carolinas Medical Center-Main location in the Morehead Medical Plaza. The clinic now sees patients until 7:30 PM on the first and third Tuesday of every month.
“We added the extra hours primarily for working professionals who may have a hard time getting here during the business day,” said Dr. Jon-David Hoppenfeld, a board certified physician in pain management and neurology who will staff the site. “The benefits are added convenience and accessibility, which together translate into a higher level of patient care.”
Founded in Charlotte in 1997, Southeast Pain Care treats a wide variety of patients’ pain needs, from back pain to diabetic neuropathy, using interventional pain techniques. The goal is to provide patients with advanced treatment options, while simultaneously decreasing and/or eliminating the amount of pain medication necessary to control their pain. Some examples of interventional pain techniques include: injections, nerve blocks, radiofrequency and spinal cord stimulators.
All Southeast Pain Care physicians are fellowship trained in pain management as well as double board certified in anesthesiology/neurology and pain management. Southeast Pain Care accepts self-referrals for patients suffering from the following types of pain: neck, back arm, leg, sciatica; nerve, headaches, migraines; CRPS (or RSD); arthritis, post-surgical, failed back surgery; fibromyalgia and shingles. Patients suffering from other conditions must be referred by a physician. To learn more, visit www.sepaincare.com.
