Biography
With double board certification in anesthesiology and pain medicine, I am uniquely capable in the practice of multimodal pain management. I am able to evaluate, diagnose, and treat complex, acute and chronic pain syndromes. I treat pain comprehensively, from the most conservative with physical therapy and exercise to more invasive measures such as injection therapy. Previously, pain was treated mostly with opioids. New and innovative therapies have emerged and I am proud to perform them to help my patients live happily and healthfully. I am passionate about providing cutting-edge techniques to provide my patients with the best care possible. Each patient is unique and I am excited to prepare an individual treatment plan with them. I believe patient education and collaboration between doctor and patient are vital to the successful management of pain. I have a special interest in the holistic mind-body treatment of chronic pain and refer patients to pain psychology for mindfulness techniques as well as integrative medicine and acupuncture.
I have written about pain medicine and anesthesiology in a number of peer-reviewed publications including medical journals and text books. I have presented several abstracts and posters at national meetings of anesthesiology and pain societies.
I am the fellowship director for the pain medicine fellowship at The Ohio State University. Medical education and the academic development of the next generation of physicians remains one of my greatest professional interests.
I completed sub-specialty fellowship training in pain medicine at University of California San Diego and performed my residency training in anesthesiology at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California. I performed a transitional intern year at St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center in Toledo, Ohio. I earned my medical degree at University of Toledo College of Medicine in Toledo, Ohio, where I was accepted into the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society. I finished my undergraduate studies with a double major in biology and psychology with a minor in chemistry at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, where I graduated magna cum laude.
In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, hiking, and reading novels.

Good
Very kind and concern about me over all. Even offered suggestions to help me at home with concerns I was having. Dr. Noon is definitely one of the best.
Very nice people
My dr was unaware of my condition and other ailments which resulted in me wasting my friend's time which she had to take day off for my procedure,
Dr. Noon is amazing. She is treating me me for back issues, however, I came into the visit limping and she was very concerned. She got me in with an ortho doctor and ordered an MRI right away. She followed up with me regarding both my back and knee. And followed my diagnosis on my knee. She's amazing and very compassionate!
I love Dr Noon she always shows concerns for my health.
The care was great!
Had a great interaction with the doctor. She was relaxed, engaged, and made me feel like I was her only concern/patient for the day. She asked very good, Indepth questions about all aspects for my health and gave me some great tips on things that I could do to help myself so that I felt that I had some control over my symptoms and care. She personified the qualities that great providers have - being very knowledgeable in their field, being able to convey what they know to their patients and being able to make their patient feel like they made a friend that is vested in helping them.
She was very thorough and explained everything very well.
Dr. Noon has done a great job treating me for my back problems
She didn't seem to care how much pain I was in. She didn't give me much of an evaluation to determine the plan for my care moving forward. I hope it's the correct plan.
Exelent
Dr. Noon has consistently been interested in my controlling my level of post-surgical pain. She has taken care to wean me [nearly] off my pain medication slowly and with continuous feedback from me. Hopefully, I will be completely off Lyrica within a month or two and won't need to see her again.
Very respectful & kind
Absolutely all was good...made me feel comfortable, concerned about how I was feeling, explained test results and made a plan and a future appts

Para m? fueron unas personas amables todos
Always kind and caring. I feel safe and confident during procedures.
Dr. Noon is aware of the many facets of my orthopedic condition, even those not directly related to my spine. She takes the time to connect these to what is happening with my pain profile and treatment plan for a holistic approach. I am confident that she understands me and my needs.
She was a thorough clinician
Appreciate that medication is considered as last resort. I appreciate when docs do no start by writing scripts vs. Exploring options to reduce symptoms.
Dr. Moon was excellent and very knowledgeable about my issues.
Very good. I have been seeing this provider for years. If I didn't like them, I would go somewhere else.
Procedure done in a timely manner with minimal pain for me
She was kind smiled asked me questions and let me know what she was doing and answered my questions when I told her about my back and hips hurting. She had me doing some stretching exercises on my back and legs.
First doctor that looked at the whole picture instead of small individual areas of spine. She actually looked at everything and listened to what I said and was more thorough than anyone I have seen in years.
Listen will
Dr. Noon is the best there is! I wish all providers were as good as her. She is always respectful, caring, professional, helpful, genuine, etc every time I see her. She takes the time to care for me and goes above and beyond to meet my needs. She's an outstanding provider!
