Pain care for Washington Heights, in Midtown
We don’t have an office in Washington Heights. Our Midtown Manhattan office, Precision Care Spine & Pain Center, is one transfer away on the subway, and many of our Midtown patients come from uptown. Yuri Gordin, MD, evaluates back, neck and joint pain, nerve pain and injuries from work or a car accident, and treats them without surgery whenever possible.
Your first visit is an evaluation: your history, a hands-on exam and a review of any imaging you bring. A procedure is offered only when the evaluation supports it, and the office explains the preparation before anything is scheduled.
Se habla español. Spanish-speaking staff are available at the Midtown Manhattan office.
