About
Dr. Christian Oliver is a board-certified St. Louis pain management physician trained in both anesthesiology and interventional pain management.
He completed his fellowship at the University of Mississippi Medical Center.
"In pain management, I get to build a rapport with patients and see their improvement over time," Dr. Oliver says. "I also love being hands-on and with the myriad of procedures we offer; I get to take matters in my own hands and help treat my patient’s pain instead of just writing a prescription and seeing how they fare."
