Neha Pawar

Neha Pawar, M.B.B.S. serves as a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry. She is actively affiliated with the University of Rochester Medical Faculty Group (URMFG) - a National Committee for Quality Assurance-certified network of over 900 specialists - and Accountable Health Partners (AHP), a regional consortium of 2,000+ medical faculty across a dozen hospitals. Currently accepting new patients, she maintains clinical practice in Pain Management, Mental Health and Wellness, and Anesthesiology/Perioperative Medicine through UR Medicine facilities.

Her academic journey includes:

• MBBS from Acharya Shri Chander College of Medical Sciences (India), 2007
• General Surgery Internship at University of Rochester Medical Center (2013-2014)
• Psychiatry Residency at University of Rochester Medical Center (2015-2019)
• Triple Fellowship training: Addiction Psychiatry (2019), Pain Medicine (2020-2021), and Addiction Medicine (2021) - all completed at University of Rochester

Dr. Pawar's clinical expertise centers on the critical intersection of psychiatric care, chronic pain management, and substance use disorders. Her work integrates Addiction Psychiatry with Pain Medicine to address complex biopsychosocial conditions, particularly focusing on patients with comorbid mental health and chronic pain issues. The dual fellowship training in Pain Medicine and Addiction Psychiatry reflects her specialization in treating opioid-dependent patients requiring multimodal analgesia, while her Mental Health and Wellness focus emphasizes holistic therapeutic approaches beyond pharmacotherapy.

Within the Department of Psychiatry, she contributes to clinical education through resident and fellow supervision, though specific teaching roles aren't detailed. Her practice operates within URMC's integrated healthcare framework, leveraging resources from both URMFG's academic specialist network and AHP's community hospital partnerships to provide continuum-of-care services across the Rochester region.
