General Info

Dr. Hamza specializes in the treatment of chronic neck and spine pain, as well as pelvic, abdominal and neuropathic pain. He is a recognized pioneer in the use of spinal cord stimulation and pain pump technology, but his specialty is matching the right treatment to each patient. That may include nerve blocks, radio frequency ablation, injections and other minimally invasive techniques. He is well known for a highly personalized approach that involves caregivers and family when needed. “Chronic pain does not get the same attention that other conditions do, and patients may go from specialist to specialist,” he says. “My patients have seen as many as seven other doctors before they see me. They are dealing with emotional distress as well as extreme physical pain.” Dr. Hamza received his Bachelor of Science in Anatomy and Physiology and his medical degree from Cairo University in Egypt. He completed an internship at University Hospital, College of Medicine, at Cairo University, followed by residencies in Anesthesiology and General Surgery at the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Tucson.
