John Mak, MD
John Mak, M.D., takes a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary approach to pain management—because no two patients experience pain the same way. By combining physical therapy, medication management, ultrasound-guided injections, and advanced interventional procedures, Dr. Mak develops highly personalized treatment plans designed to restore comfort and function.
Board-certified in pain management and anesthesiology, Dr. Mak brings exceptional diagnostic precision, a deep understanding of human physiology, and advanced procedural expertise to every case. He is also at the forefront of innovative pain therapies, including spinal cord and targeted nerve stimulation—cutting-edge technologies designed to interrupt pain at its source.
But what truly sets Dr. Mak apart is his philosophy:
“The first step in trying to treat a patient, is to listen to the patient” he says. By taking the time to fully understand each patient’s experience, he can accurately diagnose the root cause and tailor a treatment plan that provides meaningful, lasting relief.
For Dr. Mak, nothing is more rewarding than helping patients regain control of their lives—without pain holding them back.
