Pain care is best practiced through a careful system of communication between doctor and patient, because pain is something that comes and goes and varies. Pain is something that is highly variable and can change quickly depending on the dosage, time of day and the progression of underlying causes. For any physician, having good communication with his patients is a solid foundation for providing excellent care. However, having great communication between a doctor and his patient is not always possible, especially when you are talking about situations that may alter the communication process. Dr. Gregory Braccia is aware of this possibility, and is thus highly trained in the key art of non-verbal communication.
