Interventional Pain Medicine · Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation
Two board certifications. One physician who sees you at every visit.
Dr. Patel’s training spans two specialties that rarely sit in one physician. Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, often called physiatry, focuses on the muscles, nerves and joints that let people move, and on restoring function after injury or illness. Pain Medicine focuses on diagnosing the specific source of pain and treating it with targeted, minimally invasive procedures.
Together they shape how he practices. He starts with a careful history and exam, uses imaging and nerve testing to confirm the cause, and treats conservatively first. When a procedure is the right next step, he performs it himself under image guidance. The aim is always the same: less pain and a return to the life you had.
During residency at Nassau University Medical Center on Long Island he served as Chief Resident and was recognized for compassionate care. He explains what he sees, what it means and what the options are, then lets you decide.
