Dr. Hooman Rastegar specializes in pain medicine at PIH Health. He chose to go into medicine because he wanted to help people and work in a field that gave him a sense of purpose. “Maintaining a good quality of life is very important to me,” he explains. “I like to use my skills to improve people’s quality of life by helping them control their pain.” Dr. Rastegar enjoys spending time with his wife and two children playing outdoors or enjoying movies together.
