Irina Phillips, MD - Chatham Hospital

I believe pain management is essential to achieving a meaningful quality of life. I treat a wide range of pain conditions from acute post-surgical pain to chronic musculoskeletal disorders, cancer-related pain and neuropathic conditions. I also have a special interest in treating pain in children. My goal is to help empower patients to regain physical and psychological health and function while at the same time decreasing reliance on passive therapies and medications.

I have devoted my career as a physician to treating patients with multiple sclerosis, transverse myelitis, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders and other immune-mediated central nervous system disorders. Using a personalized and multidisciplinary treatment approach, I have been providing neurological care at the highest professional level, aiming to improve functionality and quality of life in my patients. My professional philosophy has not been only based on reaching and maintaining a high level of expertise in the field, but also on honesty, trust and empathy as the basis for the successful physician-patient relationship.
