Hunter Pain Clinic welcomes our third Pain Consultant

Dr John Prickett

         “... I rekindled my interest in Chronic Pain

         that was initially ignited in the UK, and

         have joined the team at the Hunter Pain

         Clinic.

         I continue to study in addition to

         maintaining my anaesthetic and pain

         practices.  My main focus will be persistent

         pain in adults, and I am very keen on the

         multidisciplinary approach that can be

         accessed at the Hunter Pain Clinic.”

Hunter Pain Clinic (HPC) treats patients suffering

from chronic pain both non cancer related and cancer related . It currently operates consulting rooms located at Kanwal, Gosford , Singleton with the head office located at Broadmeadow . Hunter Pain Clinic is affiliated with Hamilton Day Surgery Centre and Hunter Clinical Research.
