Mitchell Engle, MD, PhD 

Interventional Pain Specialist

Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine

In a world of assembly line medical care, Dr. Engle is markedly different; he is passionate about his patients and helping them achieve wellness. Since every patient comes with a unique life story, he places particular emphasis on knowing and evaluating the whole patient. As such, he firmly believes that each patient must be individually assessed and given a unique treatment plan. He and the The Institute of Precision Pain Medicine staff will all diligently work to identify and treat the causes of pain rather than just masking it with more pills.

Puneet Sayal, MD, MPH

Interventional Pain Specialist

Dr. Sayal's philosophy for patient care is simple - listen to his patient. Initially, this seemed like an obvious concept learned in medical school, but over time it has led him regularly to the right diagnosis and the ability to tailor his treatment plan to the needs of his patients. Personalizing care in the field of pain medicine is key to making the treatment meaningful to patients and improving their quality of life on their terms. Dr. Sayal is committed to understanding what is important to you, as a patient and an individual, and focusing his care on the aspects of life you want to see improve.
