PPOA's Hurst practice focuses on interventional pain management, a subspecialty of pain management medicine that concentrates on minimally invasive techniques to treat and manage acute or chronic pain. Treatment may include injections, nerve blocks, and topical and oral medications. These modalities are aimed at getting to the root of the pain and allowing patients to increase their enjoyment of life and ultimately to be pain-free. This drew Dr. Uong (pronounced OO-wong) into the field.

He also served as its chief resident and earned a Spirit Award for going above and beyond in patient care.
Dr. Uong completed his fellowship in Interventional Pain Management at the National Pain Institute in Winter Park, Fla. in 2017. In addition, he has delivered numerous presentations on case studies at the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and at the Association of Academic Physiatrists.
