our approach

At the Pain Clinic of Michigan, we believe in taking each patient’s individual needs into account first before exploring various pain treatment options. For some patients, it is as simple as managing medications properly or exploring physical or chiropractic options, while for others we may explore alternative options available from an interventional standpoint. For most people, a combination of medical management along with intervention helps to maintain pain levels at a minimum.

We will coordinate and work with all your physicians to establish a comprehensive treatment program to provide maximum pain relief and improve your quality of life. This is always our goal.


We also believe in always making ourselves accessible to you, should you need us. While the Pain Clinic of Michigan has many trusted and highly qualified secondary health providers there for you, you can always reach one of our certified pain physicians. This is important to us. We invest in our relationship with you so that you can relax and focus on bettering your quality of life.If you suffer from pain and would like to explore your options for pain relief, please call the Pain Clinic of Michigan for a consultation. We are always happy to help you take those first steps to improving the quality of your life. We accept a variety of insurance programs, including Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, HAP and Priority Health. Please call to inquire if your insurance plan is one of our currently accepted plans. We are associated with The Oakland Surgi-Center next our Rochester Location, a surgery center that offers the latest in high-technology support of our treatment options for the management of your pain.​

PATIENT FEEDBACK

Love this office!!!! The staff and Doctors are caring, also has the best bed side manners... Dr. V is been my life saver for well over 10 to 12 yrs. The pain pump made my life have meaning again!! Which I just had my 5 yr. Battery change last week!!! I have no problem to not worry about major surgery with this Dr. V and staff I know my life is in the BEST HANDS OUT THERE!!!!

Dr. Mounayer and his staff are a blessing for me. I have suffered from chronic pain due to arthritis and several knee surgeries for the past 20+ years. The staff takes the time to ask me direct questions about how I’m feeling on each visit and Dr. Mounayer takes the extra time with me on each visit to explore options and follow ups on how to better manage my daily routines. I wish I could give them an extra star for my experiences at this clinic-because they go beyond in taking care of me.

Dr. Peter and ALL of his staff in the office and the entire surgery team are the best you could ever ask for!!!! They are all very caring, friendly and knowledgeable. I've been going to the Pain Clinic of MI since about 2003 and wouldn't think of going anywhere else!
