From “bloody hands” to redefining brain care.

Dr. Elad Levy’s journey started in rural upstate New York near the Canadian border, where discipline in rowing became the foundation for a career pushing the limits of neurosurgery.

Today, his work spans some of the most advanced areas in the field. From stroke treatment to brain-computer interface technology, it's all driven by a deeper curiosity and belief that...
.. the brain is "the last frontier."

Pain doesn’t have to be something you “just live with.”

Our Interventional Pain Management team focuses on treating pain at the source using targeted, minimally invasive techniques.

Instead of masking symptoms, these treatments work by interrupting pain signals in the body. That can look like precise injections, nerve blocks, or advanced therapies designed to reduce inflammation, calm irritated nerves, and improve daily function.

Every patient is evaluated individually, with a plan built around what’s actually causing the pain. Not just where it shows up.

Meet the team leading this work:
• Dr. Jafar Siddiqui
• Dr. Irfan Elahi

Together, they help patients move better, feel better, and rely less on long-term medications.

If pain is getting in the way of your day-to-day, there are options—and this is where that conversation starts.
