Welcome to the Pain Management Center of Columbia University, where patient care comes first. Our commitment to better health and improved quality of life underlies the framework of our evaluation and treatment of people with pain. We pride ourselves in delivering state-of-the-art care by using the most recent technology and providing interdisciplinary pain management services to members of our local communities and for those from afar.

The Pain Management Center has been in existence for over thirty years and along with the legacy of Columbia University has established a tradition of combining strong clinical acumen with empirically tested treatment approaches. Our clinical staff is fellowship trained, board certified, highly skilled in pain management and with expertise in each of the programs offered by the Center. The programs are:

Inpatient Acute Pain Service

Inpatient and Outpatient Chronic/Cancer Pain Service

Pediatric Pain Service

Oral, Facial and Head Pain

In each of our programs, we evaluate and treat a variety of acute and chronic pain conditions ranging from non malignant pain to cancer pain in both adults and children. Our goals are to alleviate pain and suffering in the patient and to help the patient and the family develop coping strategies that facilitate the resumption of a useful and productive life. Toward this end, we believe in a team approach and use a variety of medical, interventional and behavioral techniques.

Our referral process is simple for the patient and the referring physician. Our location is convenient and we are easily accessible by public transportation. Please Contact us for information, educational materials, appointments and directions.
