About Dr. Thurness
Dr. Brent Thurness specializes in treating neuropathy, joint, neck, and back-related pain. He provides interventional pain services for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. In addition, he offers non-surgical musculoskeletal care to patients for whom surgery is not the best option or has failed to provide sufficient relief of symptoms.
Dr. Thurness attended medical school at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine in Iowa City, graduating in 1994 and completing his residency in anesthesiology at the University of Iowa Hospitals in Iowa City, IA.
Most recently, Dr. Thurness served as the Medical Director of the Anesthesia Department at Campbell County Hospital in Gillette, WY. As the medical director, he was an advocate for the department’s role in educating patients about the problem of opioid abuse and ways to prevent its spread with alternative pain management methods. As a result, he established a regional anesthesia program for post-op pain control. In addition, Dr. Thurness contributed to creating the same-day total joint program that helped over 75 patients in its first three months at Powder River Surgery Center in Gillette, WY.
Dr. Thurness and his wife Shelly have three (3) children. Cole and Chase played football and graduated from Chadron State College in Chadron, Nebraska in the Spring of 2022, and their daughter Emma will run track at college in the Fall of 2022.
