Doctor Details

Dr Benjamin Adeyemi is a pain specialist and the clinical lead at PainCare 360, a private specialist pain management practice established in response to the compelling and urgent need to improve access to specialist pain management services for residents of the Wide Bay. Having lived in the Wide Bay for more than seven years, Dr Adeyemi is aware of the significant burden of chronic pain and the existing gaps in access to the required care within our region.
