“Dr Zood was referred to me through my former neurologist and pain management Dr. Richard Rhee who is now retired. Dr. Zood is very understanding of my individual long standing chronic pain medication usage. He took the time to understand my individual need as opposed to the status quo height, weight and age. We are working together to control the usage of my medication in accordance of my decades long usage due to my 100% Military War Time Disability. I highly recommend Dr Zood for those of you who wish to have an expert on pain management of medication you need to have a good quality of life. Thank you Dr Zood! ”

About Dr. Rahul Sood
I pride myself on being compassionate and spending the time with patients who need help managing pain conditions. It is my goal to give every patient the respect and dignity they deserve because I understand the difficulty of living a full life while dealing with pain from an accident or illness. I earned my Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, completed my Residency in Anesthesiology at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and further specialized with a Fellowship in Pain Medicine at Rutgers.

Dr. Sold and his assistant, Suli were kind and understood how much pain I was in.
August 30, 2021Maria G.Verified patient
Theres an option to pay cash, which was my initial intent, but they flat out told me they dont accept cash. Why is it an option? Then they didn't even give me a suggestion to an alternate doctor who could help me. Thanks for nothing. I make an account, I follow the steps, and got no care and no help, just a big waste of time

Great first impression of the office and Dr. Sood!! Looking forward to seeing him this week and hopefully will be a patient of his. It’s so difficult to find a genuine pain doctor who is knowledgeable and CARES about your quality of life. I feel so fortunate to have found him!

Dr. Sood was extremely knowledgeable and caring. Dr. Sood makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in the door. The office is super organized, spotless clean and runs efficiently. You feel like you are a VIP. This is a high end new facility and Dr. Sood is knowledgeable on all of the most up to date and modern pain management techniques. If I could give this office 6 stars I would.

March 20, 2018Stephanie C.Verified patient
Dr. Sood had genuine concern for my level of pain. He listened and didn't push pain killers but instead suggested I get an EMG and try some therapy to help.
September 18, 2017Peter C.Verified patient

Dr. Sood is a great guy. Very easy to speak with and he has outstanding credentials. His colleague (also an MD) first examined me and spent a good amount of time with me anf then Dr. Sood came in and they both spent a lot of time with me examining me, reviewing my case and making a recommendation in terms of treatment. Highly recommended. It should also be noted that the office staff was very efficient and friendly and the wait was very brief.
