About
Primary Specialty:
Pain Medicine (Board Certified)
Dr. Raj N. Parekh was drawn to the pain management field through a desire to build long-term relationships with his patients and see their progress over time.
He joined the National Spine and Pain Centers Hagerstown office in August 2019 after completing his pain management fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. He holds a bachelor’s degree in physiology and neurobiology from the University of Maryland College Park and earned his Doctor of Medicine from the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore. He completed his internal medicine internship at Medstar Harbor Hospital in Baltimore and anesthesiology residency at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, D.C.
Over the past decade, Dr. Parekh has noticed a tremendous surge in technological advancements in the pain management field particularly in neuromodulation. “While no one specific device or technology will work for all patients, steadily growing progress allows many patients to benefit from these technologies,” he said.
Dr. Parekh’s main goal when working with patients is to tailor personalized treatment plans that are specific to their goals and needs. He listens to his patients and uses a multimodal approach for treatment that addresses the pain from various pathways.
“I have the privilege of working along side patients as they move through their journey of chronic pain and ultimately obtain pain relief and improved function,” he said.
In his down time, Dr. Parekh can be found taking part in recreational activities such as playing basketball and tennis.

Dr Parkin and all of the people who are working there are very wonderful to me. I could just barely walk with my first patient visit and now I'm so grateful to them and Dr Parkin as I have to make stops and cannot walk far but I'm walking. When I'm shopping sometimes it's obvious that I have back pain and people stop me to ask if I'm ok. I say that I have back problems and the go to pain management thank God and always they ask where I go because they need a genuine caring pain management doctor. I tell them where I go and to ask for Dr Parkin, and I tell them that if not for him I couldn't take the pinched nerve pain in my lower back. Many express that they're terrified of being judged and not treated like their pain doesn't matter for their their age so I tell them that everyone is treated with respect and that this would never be tolerated or acceptable with Dr Parkin and the national Spine and Pain Institute in Hagerstown MD. Everyone there treats everyone equally and never one word of disrespect from office staff, nurses or anyone. I am very proud and grateful to be receiving my care from this amazing practice. […]
