About Timothy Stoppelman, MD
Timothy Stoppelman, MD, is a board-certified and fellowship-trained physician with Saint Luke's Anesthesiology Specialists. Dr. Stoppelman is a Kansas City native, went to University of Kansas for medical school, and completed his anesthesiology training at the University of Missouri Kansas City/Saint Luke's Hospital. He completed an interventional pain fellowship at the University of Iowa.
Dr. Stoppelman treats common issues such as low back pain, neck pain, cervicogenic headaches, failed back syndrome, chronic large joint pain, neuropathic pain, and more rare conditions such as complex regional pain syndrome. He understands that chronic pain is a complex process that often requires a multi-pronged strategy and creates treatment plans that often focus on interventional techniques, which can include epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablations, or spinal cord stimulation. Successful treatment often includes lifestyle modifications, exercise and physical therapy, medication management, and pain psychology to help cope with chronic pain. His goal is to help manage chronic pain to improve his patients' overall quality of life.
When not caring for patients, Dr. Stoppelman enjoys spending time with his family and friends.
