Founder & Medical Director

Roy Sebastian, MD, DPT, MBA

A physician whose path to pain medicine began as a Doctor of Physical Therapy — bringing a rare, movement-first perspective to interventional pain and headache care.

Dr. Roy Sebastian, MD, DPT, MBA — Founder and Medical Director of NuvMed

Few physicians see pain the way Dr. Sebastian does. He's fellowship-trained in both pain medicine and headache medicine, board-certified in family medicine — and, before medical school, he practiced as a Doctor of Physical Therapy.

For you, that means one doctor who understands your pain from every angle— how your body moves, how pain signals fire, and what's driving it beneath the surface — and who treats the root cause instead of just masking it.

Evidence-based. Movement-first. Patient-centered.
