About Douglas Dobecki, MD

My practice focuses on compassionate care and state-of-the-art interventional pain management therapies by board-certified and fellowship-trained pain specialists. I became a physician due to my love of science and the gratification of helping others. I begin every consultation with a face to face visit and development of a personalized treatment plan for each patient. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with family, surfing and cycling.
