Anesthesiologist, Pain Medicine Specialist
My name is Sanjeev Kumar, MD, and I am a professor at University of Florida, Director of the endoscopic spine surgery fellowship program and Chief of Pain Medicine at UF Health at it's main campus in Gainesville and also at UF Health in Ocala, UF Health Halifax in Daytona and Deltona. I received my bachelor’s degrees in medicine and surgery from Delhi University in India. Afterwards, I completed a residency in anesthesiology at Delhi University/Safdarjung Hospital before interning at Wayne State University/Detroit Medical Center where I completed a residency in anesthesiology and a fellowship in pain medicine. I also received additional training in Endoscopic Spine Surgery from renowned international experts over the years.
I decided to become a doctor to help people that suffer from acute or chronic pain. I strive to get to the bottom of why you are hurting so that we can "fix" the problem.
My grant-funded research work uses artificial intelligence in image analysis to create smart software that can guide future fluoroscopy-guided procedures. Endoscopic spine surgery, trigeminal neuralgia and facial/head pain are specific interests of mine, as is generally any chronic pain from head to toe.
In my free time, I enjoy traveling, playing with my kids and table tennis.
