Comfort Quest
Statement of Interests – Dr. Terel Newton, M.D.
As a physician, my mission is to transform pain management through innovative, patient-centered care. I specialize in interventional pain management and addiction medicine, blending traditional approaches with alternative therapies like medical cannabis. As the Medical Director of the largest medical cannabis dispensary in the U.S., I am dedicated to providing safe, effective solutions that improve quality of life while educating patients and caregivers about comprehensive treatment options.
I’m passionate about creating a supportive community of patients and providers that fosters education, research, and access to resources. My work emphasizes caregiver support, empowering families with the tools they need to navigate pain management challenges, and addressing the broader aspects of health, including career and financial sustainability for long-term well-being.
By bridging clinical expertise with community outreach and education, I aim to treat not just the physical symptoms of pain but also the emotional and psychological impact, building a holistic model of care where patients feel heard, empowered, and supported. My vision is to lead the way in compassionate, sustainable solutions that improve lives and strengthen communities.
