About Us
Dr. Michael Kissel was born and raised in the Lawrenceville area and knew at a young age he wanted to be a physician. After graduating from Berkmar High School, he attended the University of Georgia where he received a bachelor’s degree in biology. While attending medical school at Saba University, he also completed a master’s degree in Hyperbaric Medicine.
After completing his residency in Anesthesiology at Saint Louis University, where he served as Chief Resident, he returned to the Atlanta area and began his career at Eastside Medical Center in Snellville, Georgia, just miles from his childhood home. During this time, he sought additional training in Pain Management, and began seeing patients in the pain clinic while continuing to provide anesthesia services in the operating room. He became Chairman of the Department of Anesthesiology and went on to serve as the President of the Medical Staff at Eastside.
Over the years, his passion for providing relief to patients suffering from pain grew. In 2017, he was named Physician Specialist of the Year by the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce for his work in fighting the opioid epidemic while still effectively providing pain management to his patients.
When not in the office, Dr Kissel enjoys traveling with his wife and three daughters, reading, and playing with his French bulldog Evie June.
In 2022, Dr. Kissel opened Southern Comfort Pain and Wellness in Loganville, Georgia. His goal is to improve the quality of life and health of every patient he encounters. At the office, you will find a gentler, elegant, and refined approach to your care.
