The Doctors of Pain Medicine Associates are W. Turney Williams, MD, Timothy S Smyth, MD, Sameh A Ward, MD, and C Marcus Cooper, PhD.

 

Dr. W. T. Williams founded pain Medicine Associates in the early 1990’s while working with his Partners at Anesthesia and Pain Consultants. Dr. Williams practiced as both an anesthesiologist, specializing in cardiovascular and neurological anesthesiology, and pain management. His reputation grew, as did the need for his services in the community. As a result, Dr. Williams found himself devoting more and more of his time practicing pain management and soon this became his full-time profession. Dr. Smyth joined Dr. Williams in early 2000. His career path was very similar to Dr. Williams. Dr. Smyth practiced anesthesia and pain management in Florida before devoting his time exclusively to pain management when he joined Dr. Williams. Dr. Ward joined the team in 2003. His postgraduate training is also in anesthesiology and pain management. Dr. Ward has been devoted to pain management from the outset of his career. Dr. Cooper has been working with Dr. Williams since the mid 1990’s. Dr. Cooper’s expertise is broad and varied. He is an expert in psychological and physical health via behavioral modification. These behavioral modifications include exercise therapy, diet modification, habit modification, and nutritional therapy. Additionally, as a licensed clinical counselor, Dr. Cooper assists patients by acting as both a teacher and advisor, allowing them to better cope with the psychological and social impact of their pain.
