Ashraf Andrawis, MD

Interventional Pain Management & Anesthesiology

Dr. Ashraf Andrawis is board-certified in Anesthesiology and Interventional Pain Medicine with a clinical training year in Neurosurgery. As the founder of Premier Spine & Pain Center, his practice philosophy is to offer quality care that is compassionate and cost-effective through minimally invasive, interventional pain-relieving procedures as well as regenerative medicine procedures.

Dr. Ashraf Andrawis recently expanded his interventional pain practice to include Regenerative Medicine including platelet-rich plasma, adult stem cell therapy and adipose mesenchymal stem cell treatments. The use of a patient’s own platelets and stem cells can help with pain and healing of injuries and degeneration of the spine, joints and tendons. These are cutting-edge treatments used as an effective alternative to surgery.
