Overview
Robert Chow, MD, is an anesthesiologist specializing in interventional pain management.
He treats Long COVID symptoms, including anosmia (loss of smell), trigeminal neuralgia (a chronic pain condition affecting the trigeminal nerve in the face), headaches, and peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage causing pain or numbness).
Dr. Chow has a particular interest in peripheral nerve stimulation and spinal cord stimulation, and he performs joint injections, spine injections, radiofrequency ablations and more.
Pain medicine has allowed Dr. Chow to blend the science of medicine and the art of healing, combining precision, empathy, and rapidly developing rapport with patients. He is inspired by the role anesthesiologists play, both in ensuring patient safety during surgery and in supporting patients through some of their most challenging times.
“After working closely with patients in acute pain, I realized that chronic pain has a profound impact on quality of life,” he says. “In pain medicine, I found the opportunity to help patients regain mobility, improve their function and enhance their well-being.”
Dr. Chow completed his medical degree at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. He underwent his residency in anesthesiology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, followed by a fellowship in interventional pain medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. He is an assistant professor of anesthesiology at Yale School of Medicine.
