Colorado Pain Care Broadens Practice to Include Cancer Patient Treatment in Denver, CO and Surrounding Area

DENVER, Aug. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Colorado Pain Care, the region's leading pain specialists providing comprehensive and individual treatment for chronic and acute pain using state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and techniques, announced today that Lauren McLaughlin, D.O., has joined its team of board-certified anesthesiologists.

Founded by Drs. Jason Krutch, M.D. and Robert Moghim, M.D., Colorado Pain Care (CPC) is expanding its multidisciplinary approach to patient treatment to now include Dr. McLaughlin's expertise, cancer pain care.

"It's rare to find doctors who specialize in treating cancer patient pain. We are excited to have Dr. McLaughlin join our practice," said Colorado Pain Care CEO, Dr. Moghim. "She is dedicated to the individual and compassionate care of these patients whose pain is often undertreated."

"Pain associated with the diagnosis of cancer is particularly stressful for patients," said Dr. McLaughlin. "I feel it is very important that we accept the patient's description of their pain, fatigue and distress as the immediate focus of the care we plan to deliver."

Colorado Pain Care uses a large number of treatment options in its four-prong approach to treating pain patients: Medication Management, Minimally Invasive Procedures, Physical Therapy and Cognitive Behavior Therapy. This coordinated care is employed to decrease opioid usage and improve quality of life for patients.

"Caring for cancer patients and appreciating the courage and fortitude these patients and their families demonstrate helped me to focus on my practice in these special circumstances," said Dr. McLaughin. She attributes these experiences and the guidance of dedicated and skilled mentors in her decision to join Colorado Pain Care.

During her anesthesiology residency at the University of Colorado in Denver, Dr. McLaughlin was inducted into the Gold Humanism Honor Society. She said the honor of receiving this distinction was multiplied by her thoughts of the many of clinicians, nurses and pharmacists whose unseen efforts to care for those in need is deserving of such an award.

Dr. McLaughlin earned her medical degree in 2013 from Rocky Vista University College of Osteopathic Medicine in Centennial, Colorado. In 2014, she completed her medical internship at Exempla Saint Joseph Hospital in Denver, Colorado. She completed her anesthesiology residency at the University of Colorado in Denver, followed by her interventional pain fellowship in 2018.

"I look at my occupation as a calling," said Dr. McLaughlin, "I appreciate the trust patients and their families place in me."
