Dr. Bajwa is one of the most accomplished headache and pain specialists in the country, with more than 30 years of clinical, research, and teaching experience. He is triple board-certified in neurology, headache medicine, and pain medicine.

 

He completed his neurology residency at Montefiore Medical Center, Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, followed by ACGME-accredited fellowship training in pain medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital (Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital), Harvard Medical School. He spent nearly two decades as full-time faculty at Harvard Medical School, where he rose to Associate Professor of Anesthesia (Neurology).

 

Dr. Bajwa served as founding director of the Comprehensive Headache Center at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a major Harvard teaching hospital, where he built one of the region's premier programs for patients whose headaches had gone undertreated or unexplained elsewhere. He later founded the Boston Headache Institute.

 

He was among the first physicians to use Botulinum toxin (Botox) for headache and chronic pain, and developed nerve-block techniques for headache and facial pain that are now taught at national meetings. He authored the first protocols for intravenous infusion therapy for intractable headache and pain, and co-edited the leading textbook Principles and Practice of Pain Medicine, now in its third edition.

 

Dr. Bajwa has held national leadership roles, including service on the Board of Directors of the American Academy of Pain Medicine, and has been repeatedly recognized among the country's best doctors.
