How to Choose a Pain Specialist in Atlanta

Georgia requires pain management clinics to be licensed by the Georgia Composite Medical Board, so ask any clinic you are considering about that license. Atlanta also has well-known rehabilitation resources, such as the Shepherd Center for spinal cord and brain injury, so if your pain follows a major injury, ask whether a practice coordinates with rehab programs.

• State license. Confirm an active license with the Georgia Composite Medical Board, or search nationally at DocInfo.org (FSMB).
• Board certification. Look for certification in pain medicine, anesthesiology, physical medicine and rehabilitation, or a related specialty. You can check it for free at CertificationMatters.org (ABMS).
• Treatment approach. Ask whether the practice uses image guidance (fluoroscopy or ultrasound) for injections and how it combines procedures with physical therapy and non-opioid options.
• Coverage and cost. Confirm network status with your insurer, and get written pricing for anything that may be self-pay.
