Hi,

I am trying to find out for someone if a particular dr is board certified in pain management in NJ.

I have googled and couldnt find the info on any of the sites. I figured maybe someone has searched to check out there dr and someone here might know.

Thank You for any help

I found this in a google search:

Currently, the American Board of Medical Specialties recognizes only one board certification in pain management--that conferred by the American Society of Anesthesiologists. Physicians who are board certified in pain management, such as Dr. Kaufman, have undergone specialized training and passed a board exam. ``Specialists in pain medicine have insight into pain and the modalities to treat it that are beyond the expertise of many other physicians,'' says Dr. Kaufman. ``That's not a criticism. An orthopaedic surgeon may excel in the operating room but not know how to look for certain patterns of pain.''

Maybe the American Board of Medical Specialties can help you?

Good morning, Azure!

Many doctors in NJ also have practices or hospital affiliations in PA, NY, or FL. So on RateMD, try looking them up by those states.

Also, follow the link in the middle of the page to the medical board website.

Best Wishes,

Lymepool

BTW - your mailbox is full.

I tried to pm this morning to offer to help you search for info if you wanted to pm the name of who we're running down.

I hope that you're OK and not having a problem with pain management.

hugs & prayers,

Ali

Thank You for the suggestions. I will try them a little later.

I am actually trying to find out for someone else.

I did some cleaning in my mailbox. I'm not too good at keeping up with that.
