The Millennium Pain Center is a state-of-the-art Center of Excellence offering the highest standard of quality care with the
most technologically advanced treatments by implementing practice guidelines derived from "evidence based medicine".
Millennium Pain Center is staffed by four pain physicians (MD): Ramsin Benyamin, Ricardo Vallejo, Atiq Rehman, and
Naveen Tipirneni. We are currently providing pain management services in the following four locations: Bloomington,
Normal, Chicago (Illinois) and Barcelona (Spain). Our active clinical and pre-clinical research program is headed by three
Ph.D. staff: Ricardo Vallejo and Jeffery Kramer. Drs. Benyamin and Vallejo are among the first pain physicians certified by
the American Board of Interventional Pain Physicians(ABIPP) and Fellow of Interventional Pain Practice(FIPP). They serve
as faculty for local universities (University of Illinois and Illinois State University), several national and international pain
societies and are also members of the editorial board of multiple peer reviewed pain journals. We have compassionately
pursued the creation of a "Pain Center of Excellence" by implementing the most advanced pain management techniques,
along with involvement in educational programs all around the globe, and engaging in an extensive research and publication
program. The Millennium Pain Center was established with the mission to improve the quality of the lives of individuals with
chronic and cancer pain utilizing compassion and advanced interventional pain management techniques. We offer a
comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to diagnosing and treating pain. This approach translates into individually
designed treatment programs that best suit patients' needs. In summary, we proudly identify our centers as the "Leaders
in Pain Control, Research and Education" which is reflected in patient testimonials.
