DALE STOTT, MD. Dr. Stott is double board certified in Anesthesia and Pain Medicine. He is originally from Tucson, Arizona where he obtained both his undergraduate degree in nutritional science and his medical degree from the University of Arizona.

Following medical school he did an internship in family practice at Good Samaritan Medical Center in Phoenix. He then completed a three year Anesthesiology residency in Sacramento, at the University of California, Davis Medical Center where he also received formal training in pain management under the tutelage of Dr. Eric Grigsby. In his third year he served as chief resident.

Following residency Dr. Stott obtained board certification in Anesthesiology and worked briefly as a clinical instructor at U.C. Davis before taking a job at Doctor’s Medical Center (DMC) in Modesto, California. During his seven year stay in Modesto he developed an acute pain service at DMC and served as the Director of Pain Medicine as well as Chief of Anesthesia. Dr. Stott currently serves on the clinical faculty at the University of Utah Medical School.

In 1998, Dr. Stott decided to practice exclusively in the field of pain medicine and subsequently relocated to St. George, Utah where with the help of his wife Deborah, a critical care registered nurse, he founded Zion Pain Management. He obtained board certification from the American Board of Pain Medicine in 1999.

In his spare time, Dr. Stott enjoys spending time with his wife and four children as well as pursuing his many hobbies, which include horseback riding, power lifting, and coaching high school football.
