Today’s visit was fantastic. My previous visit sucked as that doctor didn’t listen to anything that I tried to tell him.

As a partner at Pacific Pain Physicians in Santa Barbara, California, he specializes in treating a wide range of pain conditions—ranging from routine to complex—with a special focus on cancer-related pain. Known for his thoughtful, compassionate care, Dr. Untal is deeply committed to improving his patients’ quality of life through personalized and evidence-based treatment plans.
Dr. Untal began his medical journey at age 18 when he enlisted as a medic in the United States Air Force. Over ten years of service, including active duty and reserve roles during the Gulf War, shaped his deep sense of discipline, service, and commitment to patient care. He later earned his undergraduate degree from California State University, Sacramento, and completed medical school at Ross University School of Medicine.
He went on to complete his residency in anesthesiology at Case Western Reserve University Hospital in Cleveland, Ohio, where he discovered a strong passion for the field of pain management. Dr. Untal then pursued a specialized fellowship in pain management at the University of California, Davis.
Before joining Pacific Pain Physicians, Dr. Untal practiced interventional pain management in San Luis Obispo, gaining extensive experience with procedures and therapies designed to reduce pain and restore function. Today, he continues to utilize cutting-edge techniques and multidisciplinary strategies to address each patient’s unique needs.

Today’s visit was fantastic. My previous visit sucked as that doctor didn’t listen to anything that I tried to tell him.
I knew you already and I was satisfied with your work and the way you treated me. When I thought about getting the Rhiztomy. I ask for you because beside knowing you already I received a very good reference of you for this treatment and I am very satisfied with you and right know I have a little pain. Thanks Dr Rosham. Sincerely Nazareth Solano
Doctor is always on time. Staff is friendly, personable and professional. The doctor is so caring and gentle and I always have full confidence in him. He explains everything that is happening throughout the procedure. Can’t say enough good things about this facility and staff.
I was injured in 1975 in an extreme helmet to helmet impact playing football. I had 3 surgeries in 4 years where the surgeons fused 3 vertebrate, removed 2 ribs, I was sliced open from my belly button to the center of my spine twice, whereby cutting nerves, muscle and resulting w/huge scare tissue as a result.. Bla bla..... 43 years I have dealt with with nerve and muscle pain..Other then pain meds there were no doctors that could do anything that could help me..During my first visit Dr. Roshan ask very pointed questions and seamed to really care, understand and know his profession..Doc. started out with some injections into the troubled area and in follow up appointments Dr. Roshan grasp the locality and severity of my pain and came up with a well thought out plan of attack..6 days ago Dr. Roshan did a procedure on my back that I think is called a "Branch Block" I felt better as soon as I left the procedure and have had the best 6 days that I have had in the last 15 years. I haven't even thought of taking any of my meds, because there is no need! This dude has really helped me and I would highly recommend Dr. Roshan to anyone who needs help with pain. God has Blessed Dr. Roshan with a gift for healing and I Pray that he can help you also...Eric
