Our story

“For without compassion, medicine is merely science.”

Dr. Andrew M. Khoury, founder

Chronic pain affects 1 in 3 Americans, more than heart disease and cancer combined. Too often, people are told to simply live with it.

Dr. Khoury founded Advanced Spine and Pain Specialists to offer another path: find where the pain truly comes from, then treat it at the source with the least invasive option that works. Today Dr. Khoury and our nurse practitioner care for patients in The Woodlands and Liberty, Texas.

We are proud to be voted Houston Chronicle’s Best of the Best pain management clinic, and prouder still of the trust our patients place in us every day.

Founder · Double board-certified pain specialist

Andrew M. Khoury, MD

“For without compassion, medicine is merely science.” Dr. Khoury has lived by those words since he started his career as an emergency medical technician. Today he is board-certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology and in interventional pain management, and he founded Advanced Spine and Pain Specialists in The Woodlands and Liberty, Texas.

He has extensive experience with minimally invasive techniques that treat pain at the source, including kyphoplasty, dorsal root ganglion and spinal cord stimulation, peripheral nerve stimulation, intrathecal pump therapy and indirect lumbar decompression for spinal stenosis. He also uses his anesthesiology training to run an in-office ketamine infusion protocol for hard-to-treat pain.

With published research of his own and years of volunteer work, Dr. Khoury works alongside his peers and his patients toward one goal: a better quality of life.

Our approach

How we care for you.

Every patient is different, but every plan follows the same four promises.

  1. 01

    We listen

    Your first visit starts with your story: where it hurts, how long, what you have tried and what you want to get back to.

  2. 02

    We find the source

    An exam and a careful review of your imaging show where the pain really comes from, so treatment is aimed at the cause.

  3. 03

    We treat it, gently

    We start with the least invasive option likely to work, from image-guided injections to advanced stimulation, and explain every step.

  4. 04

    We stay with you

    Follow-up visits track your progress and adjust the plan, so relief lasts and you keep moving forward.

A smiling, happy patient
I have had back injections for years with no success. Dr. Khoury did my injections on Friday and on Sunday I am 100% pain free for the first time in over 30 years!
