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.
In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, hiking, and reading novels.

Dr. Was very helpful, friendly and able to explain my situation in a way that I could understand.
Very knowledgeable about my condition from the past and get an excellent job of analyzing what was going on with me in the present
Great listener came up with a plan
Good
Ultimately, I decided to pursue care with another provider outside of the OSU system. This was for three reasons: 1) Nerve pain doesn't need to be triggered multiple times In a patient during a visit. Instead, providers can ask questions to the patient. It's a very specific type of pain that can be easily described. 2) The provider couldn't provide any real insight Into the symptoms I've experienced.3) The provider didn't seem to show any awareness of or care for the impact on daily living activities, and this seemed to influence the plan of care.
Took their time and they were caring
Dr. Noon got me in to see her as soon as possible and did a great job.
