Biography
Douglas J Spiel, MD, a Board Certified Radiologist, was the first radiologist in the country to become a Diplomat of the American Board of Interventional Pain Physicians. He currently serves on the executive board of ABBIP and also holds certification as a fellow of Interventional Pain Practice (FIPP). As a member of the editorial board of Pain Physician, he frequently reviews publications prior to submission in this international peer reviewed journal. His practice covers the continuum of interventional pain – including simple procedures utilizing needles, probes, and catheters and more complex surgeries utilizing endoscopes, lasers, burrs and fusion materials. For five years he was the team physician for a professional baseball team and continues to see professional athletes in his private practice. He credits his unique background and medical-cross training as the keys to his “out of the box” practice of pain medicine.
