Lamer Tim

AAPM is THE multidisciplinary pain society. While my clinical and academic focus is in interventional spine care and neuromodulation, I am a strong believer of multidisciplinary care for patients with chronic pain and AAPM is the one professional society that puts it all together.
–Tim J. Lamer, MD, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN
