The NYU Pain Management Center plays a proactive role in helping patients receive quality care.

We consider it a great priviledge that you have entrusted us with your care. NYU Pain Management Center faculty and staff members will do all we can to assure you that the right choice was made with the NYU Pain Management Center. The Pain Center makes every effort to see patients as quickly as possible.

Patient care is provided through a multidisciplinary program that works to provide the best care possible by drawing together specialists from many different fields to arrive at a diagnosis and develop a treatment plan for you.

Your physician should refer you to us. If you need help in obtaining a referral to a primary care physician, we would be glad to assist you. To make an appointment simply call (212)201-1004 between 9 AM and 5:30 PM EST, Monday through Friday except holidays.

Once you have made an appointment

If you have seen any other physicians for your pain problem, and have had any diagnostic tests, it is very important that you forward these documents to our office or bring them to your initial consultation. This will help us in evaluating your problem. For your convenience, these can be faxed to our office. Our fax number is (212)685-5365.

What to expect at your first visit

It is very important that we learn as much about you as we can since the pain treatment is done best in the context of understanding you well. Please allow a minimum of two hours for your first visit. You will fill out a brief questionnaire about your pain. Because of the complexity of chronic pain which often may have emotional sequelae, you may have a comprehensive medical evaluation conducted by an anesthesiologist specially trained in pain management as well as an interview regarding your pain by our pain psychologist.
