Dr. Deer has published on a range of topics, including injection techniques, minimally invasive disc procedures, intrathecal drug delivery, and spinal cord and peripheral nerve stimulation. He lectures at many national and international symposiums and has been involved in the hands-on training of more than a thousand interventional pain specialists. He serves on the board of directors of the North American Neuromodulation Society and American Academy of Pain Medicine. He is a past chair of the committee on pain medicine of the American Society of Anesthesiologists, a member of the editorial board of the journal Neuromodulation, president of the West Virginia Society of Interventional Pain Physicians, and serves on several other boards and committees.Steven M. Falowski, MD, is the director of Functional Neurosurgery at St. Luke's University Health Network in Bethlehem, PA, with a practice specializing in neuromodulation. He has developed a robust program within his practice that includes a Pain Center, a Movement Disorder Center, and an Epilepsy Monitoring Unit. Dr. Falowski completed neurosurgical residency training at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, with a focus on spinal cord stimulation and pain management, and a functional fellowship in both movement disorder and epilepsy at Rush University in Chicago with Roy Bakay, MD. Dr. Falkowski is a member of several board committees for functional neurosurgery, including North American Neuromodulation Society and the CNS/AANS Executive Pain Committee. He's on the faculty of the Congress of Neurological Surgeons and the American Association of Neurological Surgeons. He is co-editor of Integrating Pain Treatment into Your Spine Practice.Dr. Sayed's areas of clinical interest are primarily focused on lower back pain, neck pain, cancer pain, nerve pain, neuropathy, degenerative disc disease, sacroiliitis, complex regional pain syndrome, neuropathy, radiculopathy, knee pain, shoulder pain, facet pain and tendon pain. He has expertise in multiple procedural treatments such as epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, image-guided injections, spinal cord stimulation, minimally invasive spine surgery, minimally invasive lumbar decompression, Vertiflex Superion procedure, minimally invasive spine fusion, minimally invasive sacroiliac fusion, intrathecal pumps, radiofrequency ablation, kyphoplasty, vertebroplasty, Tenex/tenotomy procedure, Intracept® procedure and regenerative medicine procedures. Dr. Sayed is certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology with a subcertification in pain medicine. He completed his anesthesiology residency at the University of Kansas Medical Center and a pain medicine fellowship at the Tri-Institute of New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical College/Memorial Sloan Kettering.

Clinical research is the tip of the spear for innovation and central in the development of improving safety and efficacy for patient centric care. Unfortunately, clinical research in academic practices is bogged down by inefficiency and infrequent regulatory oversight, thus leaving physicians unable to meet the clinical and research needs for driving innovation. Private practice is a valid practice cohort that can effectively, reliably, and reproducibly perform study related activities, for both FDA and non-FDA regulated studies, both industry-sponsored or investigator-initiated.Clinical Research in Private Practice fills a gap and provides a playbook for how to incorporate clinical research in a validated, safe, and compliant manner, allowing a needed meaningful contribution to the medical space, while concurrently maintaining fiduciary responsibility. Written for physicians by physicians.
