BIOGRAPHY
Dr. Velling completed his medical schooling and Anesthesia residency at the University of Southern California, and then served in the Air Force for four years. He practiced general anesthesia at Baylor Medical Center in Dallas, Texas until he decided to return for sub-specialty training in the field of pain medicine at the Mayo Clinic. Dr. Velling is board certified in Anesthesia and Interventional Pain Management.
In 2004, Dr. David Velling opened The Pain Center of Western Washington. His mission was to provide interventional medical care that helped restore function and vitality to the lives of people in pain. He has stayed vigilantly aware of emerging technologies over the years and has integrated new modalities to expand treatment options as it was safe and beneficial to do so.
The field of Regenerative Medicine has been evolving for years and many intelligent and innovative pioneers have paved the way for those who are more cautiously intrigued. In 2018 the FDA stepped in to provide a framework of standardization, practice guidelines, definition of terms, and quality controls designed to safeguard patient outcomes. With these parameters in place, Dr. Velling confidently moved forward with obtaining training and education in the field of Regenerative Medicine. This allowed him to expand not only treatment options for his current patient population, but to expand his service to other aspects of Regenerative medicine, such as the aesthetic components.
Diplomate of the American Board of Anesthesiology Diplomate of the American Board of Pain Medicine Licensed in Washington State ACLS Certified Licensed by the DEA.
