Napa, CA – Nov 11, 2024 –Napa Pain Institute, Dr. Melanie Johansson, and Neurovations Research have been awarded the prestigious 2024 Best of Napa Gold Award, recognizing their leadership and excellence in pain management and medical research. This distinguished honor reflects their dedication to enhancing the quality of life for patients in Napa and beyond, with a commitment to compassionate care and groundbreaking medical innovation.

Dr. Eric Grigsby, CEO and founder of Neurovations, launched the Napa Pain Institute in 1992.

“I am incredibly proud that these businesses and Dr. Johansson have received this well-deserved recognition. For 30 years our mission has been to deliver exceptional patient care. Both Dr. Johansson and the Napa Pain Institute exemplify true dedication to supporting patients with chronic pain,” he stated.
