More about Dr. Zahl

Over 28 years ago, Dr Zahl was among the first 100 physicians to concentrate in interventional pain before it was recognized as an independent speciality.  He treats patients in East Stroudsburg and Bethlehem, PA with the goal of getting to the root cause of their discomfort.

Originally trained in cardiac and neurosurgical anesthesia at "Penn,"  Dr. Zahl has a solo practice to the diagnosis, management, and treatment of chronic pain conditions.  He is Board Certified by the American Board of Anesthesiology, with additional qualifications in Pain Medicine.

Dr. Zahl is known for providing personalized, high-quality care to those who struggle to manage their pain or have had difficulty finding results elsewhere. His experience in interventional procedures comes from having taught other physicians and medical students for over 15 years, before focusing on his own private practice.  Dr. Zahl has been a principal author in 10 peer reviewed publications and had been on the teaching faculty of several local medical schools.  He did the first pulsed radiofrequency procedure in the US in 1999.   Dr. Zahl also has privileges at Lehigh Valley Hospital Network.

Dr Z is also proud of his bicultural heritage, having grown up speaking Spanish, and has worked with the Congress of Latin American Anesthesiologists in terms of giving lectures and training other physicians.  He also is conversationally fluent in French and German.
