Mark Thimineur, MD

He is a board-certified anesthesiologist who specializes in the management of Neurological and Complex Pain Syndromes. He is nationally renowned for his work in interventional chronic pain management and groundbreaking research.

He completed a post-doctoral fellowship training program in Pain Management at the Yale University School of Medicine, where he directed the Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) clinic. He is the center’s medical director, leading the research activities in advanced methods of pain control.

Dr. Thimineur has dedicated his entire medical career to the care and treatment of patients with chronic pain; there are few other doctors with his expertise.

After his residency in anesthesiology in 1993, Dr. Thimineur went on to complete his Post-Doctoral Associate at the Yale Center for Pain Management. He has been pioneering research and spearheading technology in the field of pain management with an untiring desire to not only treat but cure patients with chronic pain.

The span of diseases, syndromes, conditions, injuries, and trauma that causes chronic pain is immense. The span of people with chronic pain is just as immense; conditions such as Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis, CNS legions, fibromyalgia, traumatic brain injury, spinal injury, and peripheral injuries are just a few of the conditions that represent the patients that make up the demographic of chronic pain patients. This type of patient requires long-term care with a doctor who can create and follow through on a treatment plan specific to each patient’s needs.

Dr. Thimineur’s practice is a state-of-the-art center that has the technology and the expertise to effectively and safely create a pain management strategy for patients with chronic, debilitating pain conditions and return many of these patients to a quality of life care that no other center in the state of Connecticut is able to do at this time.
