Premier Pain Center

What Premier Pain Center does

Premier Pain Center is a privately-held interventional pain management medical practice headquartered in Covington, Louisiana, founded in 2001 by Dr. Allan Parr, MD. The practice operates from a single clinic location at 7015 Highway 190 E Svc Rd #101 and serves patients across the Northshore Louisiana region, including Covington and Mandeville. The clinical team consists of two physicians — Dr. Allan Parr (board certified in anesthesiology and pain management, Yale residency, 25+ years of interventional pain management experience) and Dr. Allan T. Parr III (Harvard Massachusetts General Hospital Pain Fellowship, Tulane Anesthesiology Residency, ASIPP Board member).

The practice's core offering is interventional pain management using injection therapy, fluoroscopic guidance, and minimally invasive procedures to deliver medication or stimulation directly to pain sites. Treatment modalities span basic nerve blocks and epidural steroid injections (cervical, thoracic, lumbar) through advanced neuromodulation including spinal cord stimulation, peripheral nerve stimulation, and implantable drug infusion systems, alongside structural procedures such as kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty. Specialty headache and facial pain treatments include sphenopalatine ganglion blocks and trigeminal nerve stimulation. The practice complements procedural work with coordinated care including physical therapy, occupational therapy, behavioral therapy, and referrals to neurosurgery, orthopedics, and dental specialists, with a stated emphasis on non-narcotic pharmaceutical management.

The business operates on a fee-for-service professional services model, billing patients and their insurers directly, with insurance claims filed as a courtesy and self-pay patients paying at time of service. The practice accepts Blue Cross, Cigna, United Healthcare, Medicare, and multiple Louisiana-specific plans. Patient acquisition is driven by physician referrals from primary care providers and the local hospital network (AVALA Hospital, Lakeview Regional Medical Center, St. Tammany Parish Hospital), supported by an educational website and Facebook/Twitter social channels. Outpatient surgical procedures are routed through an affiliated facility, Summit Surgery Center, developed in partnership with the practice. There is no disclosed AI/ML capability, no external funding, and no indication of expansion beyond the single clinic location.
