What Our Clients Says

I come here with some neck and back issues for Pain management. The wait room is very small so they only sit patients in the main area. The family is expected to sit in another area. The wait time is so long for injections. Be prepared to spend most of your day there on an empty stomach. Dr Sekhar is the best. He consults you and answers any concerns you may have. After the procedure, they give you little juices. After sitting for awhile the doctor comes and evaluates your pain to see if the injection worked. You make your follow up appointment and you're done.

I saw Dr.Kogan at Pain Solutions for my spinal stenosis. He administered epidurals with anesthesia, so Dr. Sekhar had to work on that which meant I had 2 md's billing. Oddly enough, when I received the same epidural from Dr. Kogan at his other location (NYU Langone - Forest Hills) where Dr. Sekhar did not practice, Dr. Kogan administered the epidural by himself without the use of anesthesia. There were no problem, and since there was no anesthesia to recover from, I was free to leave right away. I submitted my insurance information but they did not bother to get clearance. It turns out my insurance was only accepted at the NYU-Langone location. But I never received a bill.

Dr Kogan has been my pain management doctor for a little over a year. He has been very detailed and concerned about my pain from day one and will recommend him to anyone. His staff stays on top of all of the workers comp appointments and required paperwork, which is a big relief for me. One less thing to worry about.

Robert Levy

I have been a patient of Dr. Sekhar for over 10 years. I believe his main concern has always been the welfare of his patients. In the beginning, I had problems with my neck and as I got older, the problems generated to the bottom of my spine. Dr. Sekhar was always there for me and did everything he could to relieve my pain. If one procedure did not alleviate the pain I had, he would find a different procedure that would help. If you need a pain doctor, I believe you will never be disappointed in the service you will get.

"I'm writing this review on behalf of my friend Tina, who recently received exceptional care from Dr. Kogan after suffering a compression fracture. She was in severe pain, but thanks to Dr. Kogan's prompt and effective treatment, she's on the road to recovery! The medication prescribed by Dr. Kogan brought immediate relief, and his kind and caring demeanor gave Tina hope. She was able to openly discuss her painful condition with Dr. Kogan, who listened attentively and addressed her concerns. His professionalism, compassion, and expertise make him a truly outstanding doctor. I'm so grateful for the care he provided to my friend, and I highly recommend him to others!"
