Living with chronic pain can feel overwhelming — especially when you’re not sure who to trust with your care. Whether you're dealing with back pain, sciatica, joint discomfort, or nerve pain, the right pain management specialist can make a life-changing difference. If you’re searching for a pain management doctor in Washington, DC, Maryland, or or Virginia, here are five things to look for — and why patients are choosing Georgetown Pain Management.
1. Board Certification and Fellowship Training
Pain management is a highly specialized field. Look for a physician who is double board-certified in anesthesiology and pain medicine, and who has completed ACGME fellowship training in interventional techniques. At Georgetown Pain Management, our physicians have trained at world-renowned institutions including Harvard, University of Pennsylvania, Weill Cornell, Cleveland Clinic, and Georgetown.
2. A Range of Non-Surgical Options
Not all pain requires surgery — in fact, most doesn’t. The best clinics offer minimally invasive procedures like epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, spinal cord stimulation, and peripheral nerve stimulation. These treatments are designed to relieve pain while preserving mobility and reducing reliance on medication.
At our Washington, DC and Greenbelt, MD offices, we provide advanced fluoroscopic- and ultrasound-guided procedures in fully equipped on-site procedure suites — eliminating the need for hospital-based care and making access fast and convenient.
3. Personalized, Compassionate Care
No two pain conditions are exactly alike. A great pain management specialist takes the time to listen to your history, evaluate your imaging, and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs and goals.
At Georgetown Pain Management, Dr. Netsere Tesfayohannes — known to patients and colleagues as Dr. Net — has built his reputation on a foundation of compassion, precision, and integrity. With over two decades of experience and board certification in both anesthesiology and pain medicine, Dr. Net is widely respected for his calm demeanor, deep clinical knowledge, and unwavering commitment to doing what’s right for every patient.
Dr. Alexander Kiefer, who leads our DC office, is known for his thoughtful, thorough approach. Patients appreciate his ability to explain complex issues clearly and to offer treatments that are effective and customized. Whether you’re exploring advanced interventional procedures or simply looking for answers, you’ll feel heard, respected, and cared for under his guidance.
4. Conveniently Located for DC, Maryland, and Virginia Patients
Whether you live in the heart of Washington, DC or commute from Maryland or Northern Virginia, access to expert pain care shouldn’t be a burden. Georgetown Pain Management offers two conveniently located offices to serve the region:
Our Washington, DC office is located at 2021 K Street NW, just steps from Farragut North Metro and easily accessible from downtown and Northwest DC. We’re proud to bring world-class spine and joint care directly into the heart of the city.

Both locations offer the same commitment to high-level, non-surgical spine and joint care — delivered with efficiency, expertise, and compassion.
5. Positive Reviews and Patient Outcomes
One of the best ways to evaluate a provider is through patient reviews and testimonials. At Georgetown Pain Management, we’re proud to be one of DC’s most trusted interventional pain centers — with thousands of patients treated successfully every year.
