About Dr. George C. Perdikis
Dr. George C. Perdikis is a physician in Lancaster, California, whose professional background spans neurological surgery and pain medicine. Current AMA information identifies Pain Medicine as his specialty, while other physician records describe a previous neurosurgical training and practice background.
His work has centered on patients experiencing persistent pain, particularly symptoms associated with the back, nervous system, and complex chronic pain conditions. Current 2026 provider information continues to list his Lancaster practice location.
Because public databases classify his specialty differently, it is more accurate to describe Dr. Perdikis as a physician with a neurosurgical background whose current professional listings emphasize pain management, rather than assigning him a single unsupported subspecialty.

Chronic pain can continue for months or longer and may have several contributing causes. MedlinePlus information on chronic pain provides an overview of symptoms, evaluation, and commonly used treatment approaches.
For people experiencing persistent back symptoms, NIAMS information about back pain explains common causes, diagnosis, and treatment options.
Pain Medicine and Patient Care Approach
Pain medicine focuses on understanding why pain persists and how it affects movement, sleep, work, and everyday function.
Assessment may include a detailed medical history, neurological and musculoskeletal examination, review of previous imaging, medication history, and additional diagnostic testing when appropriate.
Treatment for chronic pain does not necessarily depend on one method. Depending on the diagnosis, management can involve physical rehabilitation, medications, activity modification, behavioral approaches, or selected procedures.
For patients with neurological or spinal conditions, symptoms such as weakness, progressive numbness, changes in bladder or bowel control, or rapidly worsening neurological function may require additional evaluation rather than routine chronic-pain management alone.
Neurological Surgery Background
Professional records list Dr. Perdikis as having completed neurological surgery residency training at the University of California, Irvine. Doximity records the residency period as 1986 to 1991, following a transitional internship at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
That training provides a background in disorders affecting the brain, spine, and nervous system, although his more recent AMA and Medicare-linked professional listings emphasize pain medicine and pain management rather than an active neurosurgical practice.
Education and Credentials
Public sources agree that Dr. Perdikis attended the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine, although they differ on the recorded graduation year. Physician-directory records report 1985, while CMS-derived data lists 1991. Because of that discrepancy, a specific graduation year should not be presented as definitively verified.
His National Provider Identifier is 1336178128, and the active NPI registry lists California medical license G59579.
Current 2026 insurance-directory information also continues to list him at the same Lancaster practice address.
