Dr. Igor Smelyansky, Pain Specialist, Knoxville, TN

Igor Smelyansky, M.D. Dr Igor Smelyansky was born in Odessa, Ukraine (former USSR). Odessa is a beautiful sea resort city on the shore of the Black Sea with population of over 1 million people. Ever since he was a kid, he has always dreamed of becoming a doctor. Dr Igor Smelyansky came to Detroit, MI in 1990 when he was just 18 years old. Prior to that he was studying in a combined accelerated Physician’s Assistant program at one of the medical colleges in Ukraine. Back then, he could barely speak any English and his family had $500 when they arrived. Initially, the family slept on the blankets on a floor of a small 1 BR apartment where another emigrant family lived. That family was “old timers” who came to the US 1 year earlier! They were friends of his family from the hometown of Odessa. In 2010, Dr Smelyansky applied and was accepted into a prestigious ACGME-accredited Pain Management Fellowship at Virginia Commonwealth University/ Medical College of Virginia. The Fellowship director was and still is the famous Dr. Maged Hamza, an anesthesiologist, nationally and world renowned speaker and lecturer. In 2011, Dr. Smelyansky successfully passed his pain management boards (administered by the American Board of Anesthesiology through American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology) and is an ABMS certified pain management specialist. ABMS is by far the toughest, the oldest and the most prestigious board in the field of Pain Management and any other medical field for that matter. Upon graduating from his Pain Management fellowship, Dr. Igor Smelyansky, has moved and currently resides in Knoxville, TN. He is the only double ABMS board certified neurologist and pain management Knoxville TN area doctor or even in the entire Eastern Tennessee area for that matter. He is one of very few truly comprehensive pain specialists. He is married to his beautiful wife, Natalie, and they have 3 kids (14 yo, 7 yo, 5 yo) at the time of this writing. He is enjoying every moment of his life. Life’s tough lessons taught him to “roll with the punches” and smile at the same time. Nothing was given to him, he was not born to a wealthy family, he did not have a happy, carefree life. Life has always been hard on him and that’s why he is extremely down to earth and treats every patient with compassion and dignity, the way he would want to be treated himself.
