David Schechter, MD is in private practice in Culver City (LA), California and on staff at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.  He has been a Clinical Associate Professor at USC School of Medicine, currently inactive. He is Board Certified in Family Medicine, Sports Medicine, and was a Diplomate of the Academy of Integrative Pain Medicine

Dr. Schechter has been familiar with the mind-body method and healing program since 1982 and has personally examined and diagnosed over three thousand patients with this disorder in his private practice. He has achieved a high rate of treatment success according to two follow-up studies he has done in his office, one published in a peer-reviewed journal. 

Dr. Schechter was first a patient and then a student of Dr. John Sarno while a medical student at NYU School of Medicine in the early 1980’s. He wrote The MindBody Workbook as the first guided journal specific to this field. He is the author of several books, articles, and chapters in this area of medicine including Think Away Your Pain, and The MindBody Workbook for Teens.
