If you’ve been taking painkillers for a long time, it’s likely they are no longer effective in managing your pain, or are causing unwanted side effects. At your first consultation, your pain management consultant will go through every aspect of your problem and its effects on your daily life. From there, we can then prescribe a course of treatment or combination of treatments to help relieve your symptoms and take control of managing your pain.

Dr Eissa ran a Paediatric Chronic Pain Clinic for over 20 years, and is happy to see paediatric patients that are experiencing pain problems.  

Outside of his clinics, Dr Eissa studied Art and Sculpture, and so likes to attend exhibitions and museums. He is also a keen squash player, diver and regularly participates in triathlons.
