Pain Management Information
The Washington Pain Center is a private pain management practice on New Mexico Avenue in Northwest Washington, founded by John F. Dombrowski, MD, FASA. In keeping with a concierge approach, patients never see a physician assistant or nurse practitioner; every visit is with Dr. Dombrowski, and patients leave with his cell phone number for follow-up questions.
Same-Day Pain Care in Northwest Washington
The center schedules appointments within 24 to 48 hours of a call, offers same-day appointments with procedures performed during the visit when insurance allows, and publishes transparent cash-pay options. Phones are answered by staff rather than voicemail, and patients are referred to physiatry, neurology, physical therapy or internal medicine as needed, with no financial interest in referrals.
