Desert Pain celebrates 15 years in Mesquite, Nevada
Pain conditions of the joints and spine are among the most common reasons that patients seek medical care through the emergency room and primary care offices. Desert Pain Specialists, led by Dr. Spencer Wells, became the first provider to offer specialized comprehensive spine and pain care in Mesquite, Nevada, 15 years ago, filling a critical gap for patients that previously required travel to St. George or Las Vegas for care.
Dr. Nate Clements joined our team three years ago, opening the door for continued growth and efficiency in providing care for the growing community. The physicians at Desert Pain are double board-certified and committed to providing personalized, compassionate, evidence- based and cost-effective solutions to managing pain conditions of all types.
“At Desert Pain, we work to provide personalized care centered around the patient’s goals and wishes,” Clements said. “These plans may range from therapy to medications, procedural interventions or minimally invasive surgeries as needed.”

Desert Pain has worked closely with the Mesa View Medical Group since opening in Mesquite, providing convenient access to imaging, physical therapy and the services of a community hospital. Years of experience have allowed us to develop meaningful relationships with patients, referring them to providers in Mesquite, Moapa Valley, North Las Vegas and St. George as needed.
Over time, we’ve learned of the challenging circumstances our “snowbird” population faces as they transition from one home to another. We’ve worked with thousands of patients to find unique solutions to prevent interruptions in their care during their time away from Mesquite.
Top-notch Care in Mesquite Without A Hefty Price Tag
In a time of escalating health insurance premiums and out-of-pocket patient expenses, we are working to keep costs low. Desert Pain in Mesquite is the only pain clinic in the area offering in-office outpatient procedures. While the same procedures may be offered in a hospital setting, this roughly doubles the cost of nearly every procedural intervention available, which can cause significant financial burden for patients.
“It’s important that we’re able to provide cost-effective care to make care more accessible and less of a burden,” Clements said.
Serving Mesquite's Veteran Community
Pain is especially prominent in the veteran population, a group that is often underserved in rural communities. Desert Pain in Mesquite is the only pain clinic in Mesquite continuing to provide care for patients who are part of the VA’s Community Care Program.
“We have made a choice to continue our relationship with the Community Care Program because we love our veterans and love the opportunity to serve them,” Clements added.
At Desert Pain, we are committed to the community of Mesquite and each patient who walks through our doors. Patients frequently comment on our professional, compassionate providers and staff who spend time with them, call them back and treat them like family.
If you or a loved one is in need of pain treatment of any kind, Desert Pain is here for you.
