Biography
I am an anesthesiologist specializing in pain management at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I see patients for conditions including back pain, spinal fractures and diseases, basivertebral nerve ablation, isolated joint pain, nerve injury, extremity pain, painful neuropathy, cancer-related pain, and failed back surgery syndrome.
My patients can expect an evidence-based approach tailored to their specific needs. I incorporate emerging approaches and well-tested methods to improve each patient’s quality of life and ease their pain. I also strongly believe in a multidisciplinary approach to patient-centered care, so I involve patients, their families, and their other health care providers in treatment decisions.
I have been recognized for my contributions to clinical care. I am a top-searched anesthesiologist per Doximity Rankings.

No bad experiences
Dr Hussain is very likeable and professional
I really like my doctor I just really want to explore all options for my pain relief to raise my quality of life even if it means the pain pump which he doesn't want to do if insurance doesn't cover spine stimulator because of current methadone use.
Excellent, precise, kind and respectful
Listen to my concerns. Engaging. Felt like he had my best interest in mind.
Very to the point knew my problem and helped right away
Very professional and explained so I could understand.
Outstanding

Good
Dr was not attentive
Very professional
Excellent
Very friendly and extremely knowledgeable
He's very nice. I would have liked a little more time after the procedure.
My expectation of the procedure did not what was actually done. Perhaps my misunderstanding the doctor did explain what he was doing and I said OK but they just seemed to be a disparity between what I thought The referring physician told me and what really happened. And the end it made sense.
A very kind and polite young man and very intelligent about my problem
