Welcome from Thomas J. Romano, M.D., Ph.D.
   My practice is dedicated to the serious pursuit of excellence with regards to the diagnosis and treatment of chronic painful musculoskeletal disorders and related problems. If you have such a painful condition, know someone with such a problem or simply want more information; please feel free to navigate the site. Most common problems should be handled by a general doctor but those which require more thought and analysis should be referred to a chronic pain specialist such as myself. Chronic pain affects a large proportion of our population but there are very good treatments available for most patients. Furthermore, more and more research is being done so the future surely will hold even more promise. There is no reason for a patient to suffer needlessly. 
   In addition to treating patients Dr. Romano does clinical research and has published in numerous textbooks and peer reviewed medical journals. He also works with attorneys to advise them regarding such medical/legal matters as personal injury, medical malpractice, standard of care, and has given opinions regarding these matters in state and federal court. In addition he presently serves on the Board of Directors of the American Academy of Pain Management and is very active in that organization being the chairman of the examination committee and the credentialing committee and also serving as a member on other committees. Paramount, however, is his dedication to the treatment of patients with chronic, painful conditions, helping to ease their suffering and improve their quality of life.
