Our Mission:

Improve access and affordability to expert SGB care.

In order to reduce any unease, we simply don’t rush. Dr. Lynch takes time—typically 45 minutes or so—with all of his patients to ensure your questions are answered. He explains exactly what he will do during the procedure and why. He shares lessons he has learned from hundreds of his patients over his many years of performing SGB.

We do not subject our patients to unnecessary stressors such as wheeling you around on a gurney. You may wear whatever clothes make you comfortable (except for turtle necks, please!) There is no need for sedation, scary surgical lights, antibiotic injections, or hospital gowns. Your family can accompany you in the procedure room if you wish. Your service dog is welcome and may lie beside you or on the exam table with you if you desire.

Whatever we can do to make you comfortable, we will.

It takes Dr. Lynch less than 10 minutes to safely perform an ultrasound-guided SGB at 2 levels. During the procedure, he talks with you to ensure there is no pain. You lay comfortably on your back and do not have to hold rigidly still. You can breathe normally. You can swallow normally. You can even talk. You are in control the whole time. If at any time you need to stop or take a break, we can, but this rarely happens because people do not find an SGB procedure painful when performed this way.
