Buffalo Pain and  HEALING 
Dr. Bernard Hsu, MD

Dr. Hsu is passionate about helping patients and providing the best and newest treatments available.  In addition to his work at Buffalo Pain and Healing, he also works directly with the University at Buffalo in the department of Anesthesiology/Pain Medicine.  He is involved in training residents and fellows in pain management and was the previous Site Director of the pain medicine fellowship program at Veterans Administration Hospital in Buffalo.

We believe in a healthy lifestyle and treatment modalities that will provide long-term pain relief for our patients.  While opiates/narcotics do have a place in the treatment of pain, we strive to utilize modalities other than addictive painkillers.  Dr. Hsu remains adamant about researching and utilizing the most up-to-date and advanced treatment options for patients.  At our office, patients will be shown compassion and sympathy.  We strive to create a genuinely personal and positive experience for our patients.
