Get to know Pain Management Specialist Dr. Anjan K. Ghosh, who serves patients in Wellington, Florida.
Board-certified and fellowship-trained pain management specialist, Dr. Ghosh, sees patients at South Florida Pain Relief Centers, Palm Beach in Wellington, Florida. His expertise in pain management runs the spectrum from pharmacological, non-interventional therapeutic regimens to interventional precision-guided injection procedures, targeting both spinal and peripheral pain generators.
He transitioned from his recent role of operating as the sole Physician-In-Charge at Charlotte Pain Management Center, a multidisciplinary pain clinic situated on the southwest coast of the great state of Florida.
As a child, Dr. Ghosh was brought over to the U.S. at the age of seven from India – and in the company of his mother and younger brother – by his father, the late Ajit K. Ghosh, Ph.D. Growing up in the Washington heights neighborhood of New York City from early childhood, the future physician completed his undergraduate college education at Columbia University, followed by earning a master’s degree in Microbiology from the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences at Columbia University and culminating in his medical school education at New York Medical College in Valhalla, New York.
The completion of his internship in internal medicine was followed by a residency in anesthesiology, the latter choice drawing Dr. Ghosh away from his native state of New York and traveling to the West Coast, more specifically, Southern California. Early on in his training, he discovered his life’s passion: to be able to provide definitive pain relief to the many patients he encountered in his trauma-anesthesia teaching program who presented with various forms of sympathetically-mediated or autonomic pain, often associated with blunt-force as well as projectile- injuries to their limbs and trunks, that is, complex regional pain syndrome.
By employing an armamentarium of sympathetic nerve blocks in concert with targeted physical and occupational therapeutic modalities, and complemented by the pharmacotherapy of antiepileptic drugs, NMDA-receptor inhibitors such as ketamine, and pharmacy-compounded topical agents, to name just a few agents, Dr. Ghosh was rewarded with the analgesic response attested to and demonstrated by his patients. Immediately following his formal anesthesia-training, he was appointed to Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology at his teaching hospital, in which he served five postgraduate years until he made the decision to acquire formal training in the subspecialty of pain medicine by means of an ACGME-accredited pain medicine/anesthesiology fellowship obtained in the Department of Anesthesiology at The Ohio State University Medical Center.
In late 1999, Dr. Ghosh moved to Florida to practice pain medicine in the sunshine state, and he has made sunny Florida his permanent home. The doctor is a Diplomate of the American Board of Pain Medicine, which is an organization whose mission is to serve the public by improving the quality and availability of pain medicine services. He is also a Diplomate of the American Board of Interventional Pain Physicians, which is a Specialty Board providing Board Certification in Interventional Pain Management and Competency Certification in Controlled Substance Management, Competency Certification in Coding, Compliance, and Practice Management and Competency Certification in Fluoroscopic Interpretation and Radiological Safety.
Pain management is a branch of medicine employing an interdisciplinary approach for easing the suffering and improving the quality of life of those living with chronic pain. A pain management specialist is a doctor who specializes in pain medicine, focusing on the evaluation, treatment, and prevention of pain.
