Offices may also send their standard referral or order and relevant records directly from their EHR. Patient identity never goes through this website; fax, email, or phone straight to the office.

Why SIPS

Physician-led. One physician, Dr. Smitherman, double board-certified in Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, at clinics across central Mississippi.

Diagnosis first. The pain generator is identified and confirmed before any procedure is recommended.

Least invasive that fits. Image-guided, and the least invasive option that fits the diagnosis comes first.

What to send

  • Patient demographics and insurance
  • Referral note with the reason for referral and the working diagnosis
  • Imaging reports (MRI, CT, X-ray) and where the images were done
  • Current medication list
  • Prior treatments, injections, and what helped

A standard referral out of your EHR is enough.
