We are very blessed to work for 2 of Austins Best Pain Management Physicians.

They are always educating staff and patients on what is available to help patients not suffer and provide options for patients to choose from.

Wanted to share our Pain physicians Bio's from our website.

PHYSICIAN BIOGRAPHIES

Dr. Yeh and Dr. Ostadian met during their fellowship training in Dallas and realized they had a mutual vision for providing appropriate, compassionate and patient-centered care to those individuals suffering from chronic and acute pain. From there, they decided to create Republic Spine and Pain to treat those suffering from pain in the underserved areas of North Austin, Cedar Park, Round Rock and their surrounding communities.
Dr. Yeh and Dr. Ostadian believe in a multi-disciplinary approach to pain management. This belief forms the cornerstone philosophy of Republic Spine and Pain’s strive to work with patients and their families to develop personalized care plans that utilize interventional techniques, medications, physical therapy, and minor surgery when indicated, to relieve pain and restore functionality.

Dr. Clement Yeh, MD

Dr. Clement Yeh has had the blessing of being a lifelong Texas resident. He was born in Dallas, TX and attended Arlington Martin High School. He then attended Baylor University on a Presidential and Premedical scholarship where he obtained a degree in biology and a minor in chemistry. In addition to being a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, he was also a 4-year starter on the Baylor men's soccer team and named the team's most valuable player his senior year.

Dr. Yeh then later attended Texas Tech University School of Medicine for his medical education. During this time, he had the opportunity to complete his clinical clerkships in El Paso, TX where he had the immensely rewarding opportunity to mentor University of Texas at El Paso premedical students in guiding their career choices. This is also where his love of Mexican food was born.

Later, Dr. Yeh continued his medical education at Parkland Memorial Hospital and UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, TX where he completed a residency in Anesthesiology. While a resident there, he published research in cardiovascular anesthesia as well as took the opportunity to present research posters at national anesthesiology meetings.

Although Dr. Yeh thoroughly enjoyed the fast-paced and intellectually stimulating environment that anesthesiology provided, his desire for a more traditional patient-physician relationship spurred him to pursue additional training in the field of pain medicine. He chose to remain at UT Southwestern Medical Center to complete his fellowship training in interventional pain management where he was trained in the latest interventional techniques and treatments for acute and chronic pain conditions and the importance of using a multidisciplinary-guided approach to treating pain. During this time, he was also able to present cutting edge research findings at national pain society meetings.Dr. Yeh is also a Board-Certified Anesthesiologist.

When not seeing patients in clinic or practicing anesthesiology part-time, Dr. Yeh can be found playing ultimate frisbee and soccer at Zilker park as well as wakeboarding and snowboarding when the seasons permit. Although he has spent the majority of his life in the Dallas area, he is now pleased to call our state’s wonderful capital home.

Dr. Mahan Ostadian, DO

Dr. Mahan Ostadian considers himself a Texas native since his early college years. He attended the University of Texas in Austin where he completed his premedical training and obtained a degree in biology. During this time, he remained active in the community while volunteering in the emergency room at Round Rock Community Hospital. He also continued his goal of becoming a physician by staying involved in Alpha Epsilon Delta pre-medical honor society at the university.

Dr. Ostadian left Austin to attend University of North Texas Health Sciences Center - Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine in Fort Worth to complete his medical degree. While obtaining a solid foundation in the basic sciences, he also learned the interrelationship of the body's nerves, muscles, bones, and organs as well as the importance of treating the whole person. He was selected to the Dean’s List for academic excellence during this time.

Next, Dr. Ostadian continued his medical training through completing a residency in Anesthesiology at Scott and White Memorial Hospital. He remained on staff as an Assistant Professor of Anesthesiology there after his residency and was heavily involved as part of the hospital’s pain management team in helping treat patients’ post-operative pain. Currently, he enjoys his continued involvement at Scott and White in resident education.

While working as faculty at Scott and White Memorial Hospital, Dr. Ostadian decided to pursue fellowship training in interventional pain management from the respected UT Southwestern School of Medicine and Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas. During his fellowship training, he was involved in several research projects and presented research posters at national pain management conferences. Dr. Ostadian is a Board-Certified Anesthesiologist with advanced training in the latest interventional techniques and treatments for acute and chronic pain conditions.

Dr. Ostadian was thrilled about returning to Austin with his wife Mona, and their daughter Alana, and hopes to make a difference in the community. Dr. Ostadian is a huge college football fan and hopes his daughter will someday have the same passion that he has for Longhorn football. He is also excited to join with Dr. Yeh who shares his goals of providing exceptional compassionate care to all of their patients.

Austin Pain Management - Introducing Republic Spine and Pain

Austin Pain Clinic - What Makes Us Different?

We're devoted exclusively to Austin Pain Management Patients.

Republic Spine and Pain  is devoted exclusively to advanced interventional pain management.

Our physicians offer patients a variety of interventional procedure options in an effort to avoid or reduce medication needs.  Minimally invasive procedures are beneficial in two ways:  First, interventions can be helpful in precisely identifying the source of the pain. Second, interventions can frequently provide long-term pain relief without surgery.

We utilize advanced imaging technology to ensure that pain relief is delivered precisely where patients need it most. If through the diagnosis process we determine that a patient needs a different treatment, we have a vast referral network to other preeminent specialists in Cedar Park, Round Rock & Austin. Our doctors may also refer you to other, non-physician specialists for additional care, such as physical therapy, occupational therapy or home health care. We will share information frequently with each of the other member team, to ensure that are all working together to provide you with the best possible relief of your pain.

Our Pain Management physicians and staff have many years of experience in caring for people struggling with chronic pain.  If you haven’t found success in managing your chronic pain, please consider calling Republic Pain ( 512 219 8787 ).

Referrals to Pain Management  are not generally required for office visits unless specified by your insurance company.

You don’t want to live in pain, and you don’t have to.

Please call us today.

Naomi Judd Offers Support to Those Living With Chronic Pain

She is now a spokesperson for the national education program Partners Against Pain.

Sunday November 21st, 2010

 

(NewsUSA) - It may surprise you to learn that before she became a country music icon, Naomi Judd was a critical care nurse. Unlike facing a stadium full of adoring fans, as a nurse she witnessed the daily challenges faced by people with chronic pain and those who care for them.

More recently, Judd watched a dear friend suffer from excruciating pain during his battle with pancreatic cancer. Because he was an educated and empowered patient, he received excellent pain management and was able to live his remaining days to the fullest.

As a spokesperson for the national education program Partners Against Pain, Judd now has 50 million reasons to let others know that they don't need to suffer in silence. That's because the latest statistics show that more than 50 million Americans live with pain, making it one of the top reasons people seek medical care.

Judd is encouraging people with pain and their caregivers to learn as much as they can about proper pain management. "From day to day, pain can limit your ability to enjoy your work, your hobbies -- even rob you of the simple joys of hugging someone you love," says Judd.

Each person's pain is unique and different. In many cases, managing pain requires an integrative approach that combines prescription medicine with complementary techniques such as physical therapy, acupuncture and massage.

Judd wants people to know the journey to appropriate pain management can begin with a visit to the recently updated Partners Against Pain website (http://www.partnersagainstpain.com/). The new, user-friendly layout features customized sections for patients, caregivers and healthcare professionals that make it easy find information about various painful conditions, including arthritis, cancer pain and low back pain. Special downloadable features -- such as a Patient Comfort Assessment Guide with a daily pain diary and pain management log -- are also available, along with links to other pain education and advocacy groups.

The website also contains valuable information and tools to help family caregivers meet the unique challenges of caring for loved ones coping with chronic pain.

Partners Against Pain is a national education program provided by Purdue Pharma
