Eric D. Lonseth, M.D., M.P.H.

Board Certified, American Board of Anesthesiology

After completing his Fellowship in Pain Management at the University of California at San Francisco, Dr. Eric Lonseth returned to the New Orleans area, not only for his love of the city, but because he recognized the lack of physicians in the area who treat patients with chronic pain. Dr. Lonseth treats his patients for chronic pain using a full range of interventional therapies and does so with respect, integrity and accountability, while maintaining responsiveness to the needs of his patients.

Dr. Lonseth earned his medical degree from Tulane University School of Medicine, along with a Masters in Public Health from Tulane University School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. Due to his interest in public health, Dr. Lonseth participated in several medical missions to the Amazon region of Brazil to help indigenous people lacking access to adequate healthcare.

Staff

The Pain Management staff consists of a dedicated group of professionals who aid in the daily operations of the department. They handle insurance and worker's comp claims, set up appointments, and overall, help the patients as they move through the process of being evaluated and the best course of treatment for their pain is determined. As the department continues to grow, additional staff members are being added to address all of your pain management needs.

We work hand-in-hand with your primary care physicians and/or specialist to provide pain management that can work in conjunction with any other medical care you are receiving. We take great pride in providing care that is both patient and physician friendly. You will never wait months to get in to see someone in our office and you will be seen by someone on our staff within 15 minutes of your appointment time.
