Specializing in diagnostic and non-surgical treatment for patients with chronic back and neck pain, Dr. Conor O'Neill has performed more than 40,000 back and neck interventional pain-management procedures over his career. Using a variety of methods, including both physical medicine and pain management, he works to enhance and restore functional ability and quality of life to patients with spinal disorders.

Dr. Leslie Wilson is a Professor in the Department of Medicine and the Department of Clinical Pharmacy, School of Pharmacy at the University of California, San Francisco. Prior to joining the faculty at UCSF, she was the Director of Health Economics for Miles Inc. and also for Bayer AG. Dr. Wilson received her Ph.D. in health policy and economics from the University of Maryland.

My research interest is in harnessing the power of emerging technologies to improve non-operative management of chronic spinal conditions. I have a background in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and have fellowship training in interventional spine care. My recent research projects have included building mobile applications to more granularly track outcomes after spinal injections and building a national cohort of chronic low back pain to better phenotype biopsychosocial features capable of influencing outcome.
