Answers, not surprises.

Yes. We provide transparent self-pay pricing on request for visits and most interventional procedures. Ask our team for a written estimate.

After your insurance processes the visit, you may receive a statement for any patient responsibility (copay, coinsurance, deductible). We will explain expected costs in advance whenever possible.

Once we receive your referral, we schedule the soonest available appointment across Pasadena, Baytown, and Katy, depending on availability and the type of visit.

Yes. Our practice sees new patients by referral only, so you will need one from your primary care or treating provider. Our team will also confirm any additional plan requirements when verifying benefits.

Call any of our locations and we will move your appointment as soon as possible. We ask for as much notice as you can provide.

Our approach is interventional first: epidural injections, nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, and other minimally invasive options that treat pain at its source. Opioid medication is a last resort rather than a starting point, but Dr. Memon does prescribe it when it is genuinely the right choice for a patient. He is also certified by the American Board of Addiction Medicine and treats patients with substance use disorders, including opioid addiction.

Most interventional procedures are performed onsite in our procedure suites with image guidance. A few advanced therapies are coordinated at affiliated facilities when clinically appropriate.

Most injections and nerve blocks take 15 to 30 minutes. You will be asked to plan for a short recovery window before going home.

Some patients feel immediate relief from local anesthetic; lasting effects from steroid or ablation procedures typically appear within several days. Recovery is reviewed at your follow-up.

Bring a photo ID, your insurance card, a list of current medications, and any prior imaging (MRI, CT, X-ray) or specialist notes that may help guide treatment planning.

Continue your usual medications unless instructed otherwise. If a procedure is planned, our team will provide specific instructions about blood thinners or anti-inflammatories beforehand.

Yes. We encourage family or caregivers to attend the consultation, especially for the first visit or any visit involving a procedure.

We have three Greater Houston clinics: Pasadena (Main Office), Baytown (East Houston), and Katy (West Houston). Pasadena and Baytown are open Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Katy is open Monday and Thursday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Most procedures are available across all three clinics. A few advanced therapies are scheduled at the location with the appropriate equipment — our team will guide you to the right site.

Yes. Each clinic has dedicated patient parking close to the entrance.

Most patients feel only brief pressure or a quick sting. We numb the skin first with local anesthetic, and many injections are guided by X-ray (fluoroscopy) for precision and comfort. Discomfort is usually mild and short-lived. Individual experiences vary, so tell Dr. Memon about any concerns beforehand.

It depends on the procedure. After many simple injections without sedation, you may drive yourself home. If you receive sedation or have certain spinal injections, you'll need someone to drive you. Our staff confirms your specific instructions in advance, so please ask when scheduling at 713.369.1969.

A steroid injection delivers anti-inflammatory medication to calm irritated nerves, while radiofrequency ablation (RFA) uses heat to interrupt specific nerves from sending pain signals. Steroid relief is often shorter-term; RFA can last longer for the right candidates. Dr. Memon determines which option fits your diagnosis.

Most injections are outpatient with minimal downtime. Many patients resume light activity the next day, though we often advise resting the treated area for 24 hours and avoiding strenuous activity. Mild soreness at the injection site is normal. We provide personalized aftercare instructions for your specific procedure.

Timing varies by treatment. Numbing medication may ease pain within hours, while the steroid's full anti-inflammatory effect can take several days to about two weeks. Some patients notice gradual improvement. Results differ from person to person, so Dr. Memon will discuss realistic expectations for your condition.

Results vary widely by patient and procedure. Steroid injections commonly provide relief lasting several weeks to a few months, and radiofrequency ablation may last longer for suitable candidates. Some people need periodic treatments. There are no guarantees, so Dr. Memon tailors a plan based on your response and goals.

It varies. Some patients improve after a single injection, while others benefit from a short series spaced over time. We reassess your response at each visit and adjust the plan. Dr. Memon focuses on the fewest treatments needed for meaningful relief, since results differ for everyone.

We treat low back pain, neck pain, sciatica, herniated or bulging discs, spinal stenosis, degenerative disc disease, degenerative arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis and tendonitis, fibromyalgia and myofascial pain, migraine headaches, neuropathy, phantom limb pain, cancer-related pain, opioid addiction and substance use disorders, and ongoing pain after back surgery. As an interventional, non-surgical pain practice in Greater Houston, Dr. Memon uses targeted injections and procedures, not surgery, to help manage these conditions.

Yes. Dr. Memon's clinical focus includes comprehensive treatment of cancer pain. We use interventional options such as nerve blocks, radiofrequency ablation, and epidural injections to relieve pain, working alongside your oncology team. Our pain care coordinates with your cancer treatment — it does not replace it.

Yes. Dr. Memon is certified by the American Board of Addiction Medicine and treats patients with substance use disorders, including opioid addiction. A history of dependence does not disqualify you from care here. Call 713.369.1969 to discuss your situation.
