We are pleased to have Dr. Pergolizzi join our roster of prestigious doctors, says Healthy Directions CEO Connie Hallquist. He has worked as a top medical consultant to develop nearly every major prescription pain relief product that has come on the market in the past 15 years, and he is highly regarded by his patients, which include members of law enforcement, doctors, professional athletes, celebrities, and others who are suffering with chronic and acute pain.

Healthy Directions also provides consumers with safe and effective options, and in the field of pain management, we need options because pain is very personalized and there is no one golden bullet that works for everyone.
