Meet Your Pain Specialist

Dr Buzz Burrell

Dr Buzz Burrell leads our Pain Clinic with extensive experience in pain medicine, general practice, internal medicine, and rural hospital care. At Parkview Medical Group, he is available exclusively as a pain specialist and does not currently offer general practice appointments.

His career has taken him across Aotearoa and Australia, including time as a solo ‘bush doctor’ for remote communities, and more recently, as part of the Auckland Regional Pain Service. He has worked across teaching, research, and policy, and brings a thorough, evidence-based approach to every patient interaction, alongside a trusted network of senior colleagues to support comprehensive care.

He is a Southern Cross Affiliated Provider, which means eligible patients may be able to access cover through their health insurance.
