Our Staten Island office

Insurance and your claim

New York no-fault insurance usually pays for medical treatment after a car crash no matter which driver caused it. Not sure your claim is open? Call, and the office will tell you what it needs. The general guide is on our car accident (no-fault) page.

After-work visits on Richmond Road

The office stays open until 8 pm Monday to Thursday, so therapy can fit around a work day. Dr. Stephen is dual board-certified in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and Pain Medicine. If pain persists despite therapy, procedures such as epidural steroid injections or trigger point injections are done here on Staten Island.

If you need occupational or hand therapy for an arm injury, that part of your care happens at our Brooklyn office.

How the visit works

1. Call or request an appointment online; the office calls back to confirm.
2. For no-fault or workers’ comp cases we check the claim before you come in. Otherwise we check your health insurance.
3. At the first visit the clinician asks what happened, examines you and orders imaging if needed.
4. You agree on a plan together, and the office handles the medical paperwork with the insurer.

On Staten Island, Jake Stephen, DO, does the evaluation and orders imaging if it’s needed. The plan can include physical therapy, lumbar or cervical traction and, when conservative care isn’t enough, pain procedures done at this office, such as epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, or joint and trigger point injections.
