In this short video Dr. Robert Whitfield explains his clinic’s peri‑operative pain‑management protocol that eliminates intra‑operative narcotics. He describes visualizing the surgical field, opening a quadrant, and then numbing that specific area with a blend of short‑acting and long‑acting local anesthetics, routinely using Exparel for week‑long analgesia. Post‑operatively patients receive only as‑needed oral pain medication and are seen in the office the next day. The clinic uniquely offers a “human regenerator” – a large therapeutic bed that induces a parasympathetic, calming state to further enhance recovery. The overall claim is markedly better pain control and reduced nausea compared with traditional narcotic‑based anesthesia.

Our patients typically have a lot better pain control, a lot less nausea because the anesthesia folks are not giving narcotics during the case to help control pain or anything like that. We've already got this working and as soon as we visualize an area I think of the removal process as I'm looking at a pie chart. When I get a quadrant open that I can see visually I'll numb that area. We use a combination of short acting, long acting, local anesthetics. Hopefully everybody's familiar with or learning about something like Exparel. We use it all the time in our practice. Really helps control pain for the first week. Then of course everybody has pain medicine if they need it. But importantly they come to my office the next day. So we are the only clinic in Austin with a human regenerator. So the human regenerator is this big bed you lay on and it helps create a better think of it more like a parasympathetic state. Calms down.
