About Dr. Mann
Board Certified Pain Medicine
Board Certified Anesthesiology
Dharam Mann, MD founded Garden State Medical Center in 2004 with a single goal: to provide modern treatment for people suffering from acute and chronic pain. Together with his team, Dr. Mann now provides care at 7 New Jersey offices as well as at Manchester Surgery Center in Whiting.
Dr. Mann leads GSMC and completed fellowships in pain management, cardiac anesthesia and critical care at Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard.
Patients of this multispecialty practice appreciate having their pain issues expertly diagnosed and treated at one close-to-home location. “They benefit from advanced imaging technologies and efficient, timely care,” says Dr. Mann, who is fellowship trained and board certified in anesthesiology and pain medicine, and has additional training in echocardiography.
An eleven-time New Jersey Monthly Top Doctor, eight-time Vitals Patients’ Choice Award recipient and NJ Top Docs honoree since 2017, Dr. Mann spends extra time with people to assess the cause of their pain and to educate them about traditional and alternative treatment options. When appropriate, he skillfully performs spinal cord stimulator implants, steroid injections, nerve and joint blocks, dorsal root ganglion (DRG) stimulation, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, radiofrequency ablations and kyphoplasties.
