Meet the Physician Behind the Vision
Dr. Steve McGrath, MD
Founder, RENEW Spine & Pain Wellness Center
Board-Certified in Interventional Pain Management & Anesthesiology
Dr. Steven McGrath is a board-certified interventional pain management specialist and anesthesiologist with a passion for helping patients restore their quality of life and move beyond the limitations of chronic pain. As the founder and lead physician at RENEW Spine & Pain Wellness Center, Dr. McGrath brings a rare combination of clinical excellence, genuine compassion, and individualized care to every patient experience.
A Path Driven by Purpose
Dr. McGrath’s journey into medicine began early, through hands-on roles across the healthcare system that instilled in him a deep appreciation for the patient experience.
He earned his medical degree from the University of Louisville School of Medicine, followed by residency and fellowship training at the prestigious Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia. There, he was honored with the Jefferson Clinical Excellence in Anesthesiology Award, an early reflection of his dedication to both precision and empathy in practice.
Initially drawn to anesthesiology for its role in managing acute and procedural pain, Dr. McGrath discovered his true calling in interventional pain management. He was deeply moved by the complex challenges faced by patients living with chronic pain, and inspired by the difference a compassionate, skilled physician could make in their lives. That realization shaped the direction of his career and the founding vision behind RENEW.

A Philosophy Rooted in Empathy and Partnership
Dr. McGrath’s care philosophy is built on three key values: empathy, respect, and collaboration. He understands that many people with chronic pain have felt dismissed or overlooked in their medical journey. That’s why he ensures every patient is truly heard, every concern is validated, and every decision is made together.
Rather than rushing appointments or relying on one-size-fits-all solutions, Dr. McGrath invests time in understanding each individual’s pain story. He takes care to explain treatment options clearly and thoroughly, and empowers patients to take an active role in their care plan.
“Pain is personal. Treatment should be too. My goal is to make sure patients feel supported, understood, and confident in the path we’re taking together.”
