AskAPainDoctor.com was founded by Rainier Guiang, MD, a board-certified specialist in Pain Management and Anesthesiology with over 20 years of experience in academic medicine and private practice.  Dr. Guiang wanted to create a place where he could speak about his years of experience in pain management and pass on what he has learned free from any outside influences such as the pharmaceutical or medical device industry.  

Dr. Rainier Guiang co-founded University Pain Consultants along with Gary Pang, MD in Riverside, CA in 2007 and has seen it grow into one of the largest private pain management practices in the Inland Empire of southern California with six locations.  Before co-founding University Pain Consultants, Dr. Guiang was the co-director for the ACGME accredited pain management fellowship program at the University Hospitals of Cleveland / Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine.  He has a strong interest in academics and was responsible for teaching and supervising medical students, residents, and fellows.  He is double board certified in anesthesiology and pain management through the American Board of Anesthesiology.  He has authored textbook chapters in Weiner’s Pain Management, the official textbook of the American Academy of Pain Management.  

Dr. Guiang is a proponent of both functional medicine and alternative medicine as he realizes that most chronic diseases have no cure.  The best cure is prevention of the disease.  However, some diseases may be curable through a change in lifestyle and diet.  Diabetes Type 2, obesity, and perhaps even Alzheimers may be reversed through such changes.  

Dr. Guiang is a regular contributor to articles on TheKnowledgeGuide.com and also to the blog at Unipain.com
