Meet David I. Nwokeabia, MD

Dr. Nwokeabia (woke-ah-bee-ah), or Dr. David as he prefers to be called, is a board-certified interventional pain management specialist and anesthesiologist who has dedicated his medical practice to changing lives and being there for his patients at their lowest point. He completed his interventional pain medicine fellowship at Stanford University and anesthesiology residency at Washington University in St Louis. He pursued the practice of pain medicine to give hands-on relief to people and provide direct intervention in support of their overall wellness.

He loves the mental challenge involved in helping people manage their pain. He calls himself the “pain detective” and his philosophy is that “pain does not go in a straight line” so every person needs a personalized treatment plan suited to their unique situation. A student of modern pain management practices, Dr. Nwokeabia is trained to help patients transition off opioids through opioid mitigation treatment plans. He believes it is his job to treat the patient, not the pain – finding the root of the problem and giving the patients a range of options to make substantive, life-lasting impacts on their health. This means utilizing various treatments and tools – only using prescriptions when they are absolutely necessary.

Dr. Nwokeabia is an active athlete, loves the outdoors, and travels actively in his free time. He’s known to be incredibly charismatic, energetic, and friendly. He can always be found with a smile on his face. He’s excited to be serving the greater Mckinney, Plano, Frisco,Prosper Sachse, Wylie, Murphy and the North Dallas Area.
