Mark A. Bendel, M.D.

  1. Anesthesiologist

Dr. Bendel is a pain medicine physician, with a special interest in utilizing neuromodulation devices to treat chronic painful conditions. His clinical focus includes:

  • Using implantable stimulator therapies to treat chronic spine pain and chronic neuropathic pain
  • Adapting the newest technological advances to treat patients suffering from a wide variety of chronic pain conditions
  • Application of interventional techniques for the treatment of cancer related pain
  • Discovering an individual patient's functional goals and working with a multi-modal pain therapy approach to achieve them
