Woodstock Pain Solutions Treatment Centers physician named Top Doctor by Atlanta magazine

Dr. Michael K. Schaufele of the Woodstock location of Pain Solutions Treatment Center (300 Parkbrook Place, Suite 390) was named to the 2014 list of Top Doctors in the July issue of Atlanta magazine. One additional Pain Solutions physician joined Dr. Schaufele as a Top Doctor honoree: Dr. David W. Gale was included in the prestigious Castle Connolly Top Doctor online listing.

The Top Doctors listing is compiled annually by Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. — an established healthcare research company based in New York City. The organization also compiles Atlanta magazine’s list of Top Doctors annually. Doctors are nominated for consideration through both a nationwide survey and a peer nomination process open to licensed physicians in DeKalb, Fulton, Cobb, Clayton, and Gwinnett counties. Castle Connolly’s physician-led team of researchers then select the Top Doctors through a rigorous screening process that includes an evaluation of educational and professional experience.

Dr. Schaufele said he is thankful to receive this recognition. “It’s a true honor to have my work recognized by my medical peers alongside my esteemed colleague and many great physicians in such a prestigious listing,” Dr. Schaufele said.
