As a Harvard-trained, board-certified anesthesiologist and board-certified pain management physician, Dr. Jonathan Kamerlink provides treatment for patients suffering from chronic pain, spinal conditions, and spinal deformities.
Dr. Kamerlink’s superior training and passion for ongoing research, combined with his down-to-earth demeanor and personalized patient care has made him a valuable member of the Florida Spine Associates’ team. One of only 4,500 board-certified pain specialists in the country, Dr. Kamerlink is nationally renowned in his field, sharing his expertise as a prominent author and lecturer.
Day to day, Dr. Kamerlink encounters patients suffering from various pain ailments for a variety of reasons, each requiring a thorough assessment and honest discussion of their expectations.
“My ultimate goal is to enhance patients’ quality of life,” he explains. “If I can get patients back to doing what they love—being with their friends and family and enjoying activities without feeling debilitated—I have succeeded. There are no quick fixes or promises of cures for pain. Many times, patients wait until their pain is unrelenting and interfering with their daily activities rather than seeking my help when needed.
“I want my patients to partner with me in their overall health to achieve the optimum results. They need to talk to me about their lifestyle activity, exercise and diet regimen as well as their pain,” he adds. “This is where our relationship begins.”
