Pain Management
Managing pain to give you the comfort and boost your recovery
Our pain management specialists are capable of evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of various kinds of pain. We focus on a multi-model approach of pain management to limit/ avoid narcotics and its side effects.
Comfortable recovery with reduced pain
We go a long way to mitigate the pain and instigate the recovery process by using advanced techniques of minimally invasive surgery and ERAS protocols.
Our other attempts towards mitigating a pain
1. We proactively treat your pain so that it reduces the medication requirements too.
2. Using supplements like regional nerve blocks, local and epidural sedatives, etc. mitigate pain.
3. We use non-narcotic agents to optimize your pain control. Such agents include ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and others that are medically permissible.
4. Other natural ailments like ice reduce pain and help in swelling and inflammation. As they involve minimal risk, we often make them part of our treatment.
5. Stool softeners benefit when narcotics are used.

Dr Shakir literally turned my life to the better! The level of professionalism and care he treated me with was the top, which is hard to meet nowadays in the digital world we live in. Dr. Shakir patiently answered all my questions before the surgery to ensure I knew what is and will be happening and so I could feel in peace. If you ever need to go through such life changing event like internal organ surgery I recommend you reach out to Dr Shakir so he can go through those changes with you!

My gastroenterologist referred me to Dr Shakir as an option for my gallbladder removal, and I’m so glad he did. From the initial consultation to today’s post-op appointment with Dr Shakir and his staff, everything went very smoothly. He did the robotic laparoscopic removal and the incisions look amazing. Dr Shakir is knowledgeable, efficient, and professional. I hope I don’t need a general surgeon in the future, but if I do, I’d 100% book another surgery with him.
Whether performing hernia repair or gallbladder surgery, Dr. Shakir is known for his precision, patient-focused professionalism, and dedication to outcomes that help patients feel confident and at ease.
He takes the time to clearly explain each step of the process, ensuring patients understand their options and feel fully prepared before surgery.
From consultation through recovery, his approach emphasizes safety, transparency, and compassionate care tailored to each individual’s needs.
