Clinic RNs

Whether at our clinic, in the hospital, or at the patient's residence, MPMS certified implant coordinators provide compassionate care through their understanding of the unique needs of the chronic pain patient. All of MPMS nurses are certified in the management of implanted intrathecal pumps and spinal cord stimulators, as well as active members of the American Society of Pain Management Nurses. Their clinical proficiency extends to the latest technologies and techniques, with each nurse completing annual seminars and in-services to maintain high standards in education.

MPMS nurses are some of the most experienced in the field. Due to the extremely difficult conditions experienced by our patients, it is imperative that pain management nurses possess a unique understanding of the medical and emotional needs of the acute and chronic pain patients.

In addition to our experienced group of physicians and nurse clinicians who provide highly specialized nursing care, the MPMS patient care team also includes professionals who assist our patients with scheduling and insurance billing.
