Vol. 27 LOUISIANA PAIN QUARTERLY 7 Family PRACTICE Homecoming: Dr. Neil Jolly returns to New Orleans to join his brother at Louisiana Pain Specialists By Ben Morris hile ‘family practice’ is an established field in W its own right, in many respects medicine is always a family affair. No matter whether we’re young or old, the treatment of medical conditions can affect our whole families, frequently having implications beyond just the patient themselves. At Louisiana Pain Specialists, however, the term ‘family practice’ has another meaning. Originally founded by Dr. Tarun Jolly in order to serve Louisiana patients encountering issues in pain management, Louisiana Pain Specialists is proud to welcome a member of its own Jolly family as a new full-time physician on staff. This summer, Dr. Neil Jolly, brother to Tarun, will be joining the practice, and bringing his expertise to help treat those suffering from chronic and acute pain. Dr. Neil Jolly arrives at Louisiana Pain Specialists with a great deal of experience and cutting-edge training. Born and raised in the greater New Orleans area, he moved to Texas and graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with honors, remaining in Texas to complete his M.D. and internship at UT Medical Branch in Galveston and UT Southwestern-Austin. He then trained at the Yale School of Medicine to receive his residency degree in anesthesiology, moving finally to North Carolina where he completed his interventional pain fellowship at the well-respected Carolinas Pain Institute/Wake Forest Baptist Health system. Recently, Louisiana Pain Quarterly spoke to Dr. Jolly to get to know him better. LPQ: What got you interested in pain management? NJ: My desire to become a pain physician was simple. I asked myself this question: what medical specialty encounters a wide variety of medical problems, attempts to provide patients with a more active and enjoyable lifestyle, and can put a smile on both the patient and physician at the end of the day? What attracts many of us to become physicians in general is the aspiration to help others through a career that is both rewarding and challenging. Pain affects people of all backgrounds, all lifestyles, and all ages. I look around and see family members, friends, and peers that are all affected by pain, afflictions that at times limit their ability to enjoy life. After training in pain management, I can make a difference in my patients’ lives, and this is what is most fulfilling.
