Garret K. Morris, MD
Clinical Assistant Professor, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
BioDr. Morris is a board-certified, fellowship-trained anesthesiologist with a clinical focus on pain medicine. He is also a clinical assistant professor in the Division of Pain Medicine of the Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative, and Pain Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Morris has expertise in chronic pain management, inpatient pain management, spine care, and functional restoration.
He treats a wide range of pain conditions including musculoskeletal, neuropathic, visceral and mixed. With each patient in his care, Dr. Morris’ objective is to alleviate suffering using the treatment approach that is most likely to maximize effectiveness and minimize risk. The focus is on using the least invasive interventions possible to improve each individual’s function and quality of life.
To help achieve these goals, Dr. Morris takes a holistic approach encompassing six domains of pain management: pharmacological, interventional, behavioral/psychological, physical rehabilitative, alternative and complementary therapies, and self-management. Often this approach requires a multidisciplinary team of diverse professionals with Dr. Morris overseeing care planning, implementation, and follow-up. This is especially helpful for challenging cases, where a collaborative team-based approach affords greater potential for superior outcomes.
Dr. Morris communicates closely with referring physicians to devise holistic pain management that fits holistically into each patient’s comprehensive care plan.
Dr. Morris has authored articles and reviews in publications including Anesthesiology, Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, American Society for Artificial Organs Journal, Cancer Detection and Prevention, and the Journal of Orthopedics & Sports Physical Therapy. He also has contributed the chapter “Occipital Nerve Block” in the textbook Comprehensive Treatment of Chronic Pain by Medical, Interventional, and Behavioral Approaches published by the American Academy of Pain Medicine. In addition, Dr. Morris has contributed online content on postoperative pain relief to the electronic forum, The Stanford Anesthesia Informatics and Media Lab (AIM).
He has made presentations at conferences including the American Society of Anesthesiology Annual Meeting and the Annual Rochester (New York) Regional Anesthesia Symposium. He also has delivered invited lectures, most recently on interventional techniques for the treatment of spinal disorders as part of the Excellus Blue Cross Blue Shield Project.

Alisa Mueller, MD, PhD
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Immunology and Rheumatology)
BioDr. Mueller is an Assistant Professor in the Division of Immunology and Rheumatology. As a physician-scientist, she leads a research laboratory investigating mechanisms that drive stromal pathology in rheumatoid arthritis and other chronic inflammatory conditions. Utilizing innovative techniques in immunology, genomics, and regenerative medicine, she and her team aim to develop novel therapeutic approaches to combat autoimmune diseases.
Dr. Mueller earned her MD and PhD degrees at Stanford University as part of the Medical Scientist Training Program where she investigated mechanisms regulating a mesenchymal progenitor population in skeletal muscle that mediates both healthy tissue regeneration and pathologic fibrosis. During her training, she was awarded predoctoral grants from the NIH National Institute on Aging and the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine. Her studies culminated in a first-author publication in Nature and co-authorship on publications in Cell and Nature Communications. Subsequently, she pursued medicine residency and rheumatology fellowship at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School where she explored mechanisms driving synovial fibroblast pathogenicity in rheumatoid arthritis. Her work led to the identification of non-canonical Wnt signaling as a critical mediator of RA synovial fibroblast inflammatory activation as well as the development of functional genomic screens to elucidate a broad set of novel therapeutic targets in inflammatory fibroblasts. Moreover, she has also led high-dimensional immunoprofiling studies to reveal underlying immune aberrations in patients with systemic sclerosis and elucidate biologic mechanisms catalyzing disease in patients with longstanding immune-related disorders of unknown etiology in partnership with the Undiagnosed Diseases Network. During her fellowship and instructorship, she received a Distinguished Fellow Award from the American College of Rheumatology as well as grants including the NIH NIAMS Mentored Clinical Scientist Research Career Development Award (K08), Rheumatology Research Foundation Scientist Development Award with the Malawista Endowment Distinction, Hearst Young Investigator Award, and Innovation Evergreen Fund Award. Her work has resulted in co-first author publications in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, Cell Reports Medicine, and ACR Open Rheumatology as well as as co-authorship on publications in Lancet Rheumatology and the New England Journal of Medicine.
In addition to her scientific endeavors, Dr. Mueller is also dedicated to providing high quality clinical care and education. She serves as an attending physician specializing in rheumatology where she mentors trainees in outpatient and inpatient settings and provides educational lectures. With an interdisciplinary team, she developed an interactive medical case on neurologic manifestations of lupus which was published in the New England Journal of Medicine. She was awarded an Arnold Dunne Award for Compassion and Dedication to Patient Care at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. By pursuing basic and translational research alongside clinical care, Dr. Mueller and her team strive to uncover basic mechanisms regulating stromal biology in autoimmune and inflammatory disease development and to create diagnostic strategies and targeted therapeutics that will benefit patients who do not respond to conventional therapies. -
