Dr. Jani is a member of the American Society of Anesthesiologists previously serving on the National Committee for Patient Safety and Education for several years. The goal of this committee is to make every patient’s interaction with the healthcare system a safer and more informed one. This is a practice he actively engages in with every patient. He is also an active member of the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians.

Pain is one of the most common reasons a patient goes to see a doctor but often this is dismissed or under treated. Dr. Jani’s philosophy is to optimize pain control using a multi-modal approach in order to improve functional ability and ultimately getting patients back to their lives. This care is delivered with the utmost compassion with the primary focus on creating an individual care plan with, not for, each patient.
