Get to know Anesthesiologist & Pain Management Specialist Dr. Shawnjeet Saini, who serves patients in Arizona. 

Dr. Saini is a board-certified anesthesiologist & pain management specialist working at Integrated Pain Consultants. He practices out of the offices in Scottsdale, Mesa, and Phoenix, Arizona.

Integrated Pain Consultants is ideal for patients experiencing chronic or acute pain in the Greater Phoenix Valley. Its team of professionals utilize a wide range of minimally invasive techniques to treat the root cause of a patient’s pain. Specifically, they use empirically proven interventions, like neuromodulation, injections, and more, that alleviate or reduce pain so that patients can fully participate in life again. 

Dr. Saini’s training and career began with a Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Wisconsin, followed by a Master’s degree in Biotechnology from Johns Hopkins University where he graduated Magna Cum Laude. He then received his Doctor of Medicine degree from the George Washington University School of Medicine in Washington D.C. 

After completing his residency in anesthesiology at Rush University in Chicago, Dr. Saini attended the University of Texas at San Antonio for his interventional pain management fellowship where he received advanced clinical and procedural training in the treatment of the spine, peripheral joints, and other causes for chronic pain.

In pursuit of clinical excellence, the doctor is board-certified in anesthesiology by the American Board of Anesthesiology. He is also board-eligible in interventional pain management, and accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME).

Based on his advanced training in biotechnology and anesthesiology, Dr. Saini believes that the intersection of technology and medicine is the future for the treatment of chronic pain disorders. He has a keen interest in neuromodulation through the use of spinal cord stimulation to address patient pain. He also understands pain can be both a physical and emotional experience that is unique to each patient and works diligently to understand the underlying cause and develop a treatment plan tailored for each patient.

Anesthesiology is the medical specialty concerned with the total perioperative care of patients before, during, and after surgery. It encompasses anesthesia, intensive care medicine, critical emergency medicine, and pain medicine. Anesthesiologists have the primary responsibility of monitoring the patient’s vital signs during surgery. In addition to basic measurements such as pulse, blood pressure, and temperature, they measure the patient’s respiration.

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.

In his spare time, Dr. Saini enjoys spending time with his family, traveling, playing sports, and is a die-hard Packers fan. One will most likely find him watching the Packers games with his family of “cheese heads” during the season.
