About
Born at Shady Grove Hospital and spending his youth in Germantown, Dr. Kunal Sood is thrilled to be practicing medicine in his hometown.
“I’m very excited about serving the community where I grew up, while being close to friends and family again,” said the Northwest High School graduate. “It is a dream to provide pain relief and bring back quality of life to patients.”
Dr. Sood joined National Pain & Spine Centers in July 2018 after completing his interventional pain medicine fellowship and anesthesiology residency at Wayne State University's Detroit Medical Center.
"I love the instant gratification of relieving my patient's pain," he said. "Chronic pain is much more difficult to treat; that challenge is what draws me to the field. It is satisfying when my patients are able to improve their quality of life by following a multimodal treatment plan. I want to help them by using the most current and effective therapies to live pain free."
Dr. Sood's goal is to quickly diagnose the source of pain, discuss the most effective evidence-based medicine, diet and lifestyle modifications and create a personalized thorough treatment plan for each patient making modifications as needed. "Living with chronic pain is debilitating," he said. "By diagnosing and treating the cause of my patient's pain, I hope to immediately bring back their quality of life."
Passionate about health and fitness, Dr. Sood spends his downtime away from the practice playing tennis and improving his swing at Top Golf in Germantown. He also loves to stay active by traveling, trying new restaurants and visiting with family and friends.
Dr. Sood is an active member of the following societies:
- American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians

- DMV Pain Society
- American Society of Anesthesiologists
