Dr. Pradeep Chopra (Pain Management Specialist)
HealingMaps Take: The Pain Management Center of RI is one of the few ketamine providers in the region focused primarily on chronic pain rather than psychiatric conditions. Dr. Pradeep Chopra brings deep expertise in complex conditions like CRPS, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, and POTS — diagnoses that many other clinics aren’t equipped to treat. If you’re seeking ketamine specifically for pain relief rather than mood disorders, this is a top choice in Southern New England.
Market Position: Pain Management Center of RI is an IV-ketamine-focused clinic in the Pawtucket metro — the most common cash-pay protocol in the HealingMaps verified directory.
