Our Approach to Pain Management

A Unified Commitment to Patient-Centered Care

After more than a decade of caring for patients across Chicagoland, Dr. Omar Said and Dr. Wajde Dabah are proud to share that they’ve officially joined forces. Dr. Said’s clinic, Ascend Pain and Wellness, has merged with Pain Therapy Associates - founded by the well-respected Dr. Dabah - to create Midwest Vascular and Pain Specialists.

This new partnership marks the start of something stronger - a more complete, connected clinic that’s fully focused on delivering advanced, patient-first care and an exceptional experience.

By bringing together their expertise, resources, and shared vision, Dr. Said and Dr. Dabah are raising the standard of pain management across the region. Patients can now expect a broader range of innovative treatments, easier access to care, and a deeper commitment to real, lasting relief.

At the heart of it all is a team that believes in compassionate, personalized care. Everything about the clinic - from how we treat to how we communicate - has been thoughtfully designed to make patients feel seen, supported, and empowered on their journey to wellness.

A Different Approach to Pain Care

At Midwest Vascular and Pain Specialists, we treat more than just symptoms - we treat people. We know pain looks and feels different for everyone, so we take a personalized approach to care. Even when two patients share a diagnosis, their needs can be completely different. That’s why we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatment plans.

Instead, we combine proven therapies from across multiple medical disciplines — drawing on some of the most advanced techniques from around the world — to create a plan that’s tailored just for you.

Chronic pain affects more than 86 million Americans. Many of them have tried everything… or feel like pain is something they just have to live with.

But at Midwest Vascular and Pain Specialists, we offer hope. Our team takes a comprehensive, whole-person approach to pain care - even for complex cases that others may have overlooked.

If nothing else has worked, we’re here to help you take your life back.
