Pain is a constant concern for every patient, and that fear can sometimes cause patients to forego necessary treatment for fear of the suffering theyll have to endure. For this, doctors have created many ways to mitigate pain and that has evolved over the years from simple solutions such as alcohol and wood to bite down on, to medical-grade narcotics that can deaden the nervous system to even the most painful procedures. In recent years, however, the medical community has become aware of the negative effects of such a dependence upon narcotic-based pain management systems. So, for patients in McLean, VA, Virginia Oral, Facial, and Implant Surgery is proud to introduce the Exparel Pain Management system which can produce amazing results without the use of narcotics.

The Exparel Pain Management System not only eases the pain but also reduces the need for strong narcotic drugs thanks to a multimodal pain management system. This system eliminates the possibility of narcotic dependence and can bypass any possibility of narcotic resistance or accidental overdosage of the drugs.

Dr. Gocke has been treating patients in McLean with Exparel for quite a while now, and the results are amazing. Not only do patients report less pain after surgery, but they live healthier and recover faster because their body is healing instead of using resources fighting off the effects of the pain medication.
