Granite State Pain Associates deeply appreciates the referral of your patient. Our goal is to work with you in helping your patient obtain pain relief, increased function and to reduce dependency on the healthcare system.
We will do everything reasonable to ensure the lines of communication are kept open and clear regarding the treatment and progress of your patient. Our preference is to assume responsibility for your patient’s total pain needs in order to better track response to various treatment modalities; however, we can share some responsibility at your request.
