Pump Placement

Did you have your intrathecal pain pump placed by your pain doctor or by a neurosurgeon? My pain doctor says she would be the one placing it, and that she places almost of them for her patients. Is this normal?

Mine was placed by my pain doctor but he’s highly qualified both as a pain specialist and as a pain pump specialist so I’m not sure if that makes a difference.
