Following completion of medical school, Dr. Hosseini completed post-graduate internship and residency training at New York Presbyterian - Cornell in New York, New York and University of California - Davis in Sacramento, California. Pain is all too often treated by an umbrella approach of prescription medications that has psychological and full-body ‘numbing’ effects rather than systematically treating and intervening to the actual source of pain generation. Dr. Hosseini’s principles to treating pain involve minimally invasive procedures to specifically target the source pain. Once identified, the most up-to-date nonsurgical, minimally invasive techniques are performed under live fluoroscopic and/or ultrasound guidance to provide relief. Additionally Regenerative Medicine modalities such as Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) are incorporated into the practice in order to provide the body natural healing. Dr. Hosseini is also an active Anesthesiologist which further allows for continuity of care for patients that may progress through the spectrum of treatment, starting with conservative care to minimally-invasive procedures through irreversible surgery. Dr. Hosseini is there to see his patients throughout their medical course.
