Summary
- Dr. Zhu specializes in interventional pain management and cancer pain management at St. Francis Hospital. He completed Anesthesiology residency at Yale-New Haven Hospital and additional fellowship training in Pain Medicine at NYP-Weill Cornell. During his medical training, he decided to dedicate his career to the long-term care of patients battling chronic pain after seeing how pain that persists long after injury has healed can wreak emotional and physical turmoil on peoples’ lives. He treats spine pain, neck pain, headaches, neuropathic pain, and cancer pain. He has a special interest in the most up-to-date advanced therapies for refractory pain, including spinal cord stimulation, intrathecal drug delivery, and regenerative medicine. He emphasizes a multidisciplinary approach that includes diagnostic and interventional procedures, medications, and therapy programs to help improve patients’ pain, functionality and quality of life.
He worked at Greenwich Hospital in Greenwich, CT from 2018-2022. He directed the Pain Management Service the last 2 years he was there and was named to "Fairfield County's Top Doctors" by Greenwich Magazine in 2022. He relocated his practice to Hartford in 2022, joining Woodland Anesthesiology.
