Job Description

OrthoNY is seeking a board-certified or board-eligible Interventional Pain Management Physician to join our collaborative team of orthopedic surgeons, surgical and nonsurgical spine specialists, and advanced practice providers within a large, established musculoskeletal practice in Upstate New York. This is a partnership-track opportunity for a physician committed to delivering high-quality, evidence-based, patient-centered pain care.

Our established pain management division includes nine physicians and emphasizes a comprehensive, non-opioid approach to the management of acute and chronic pain.

Our practice primarily focuses on spinal pain conditions, while also providing evaluation and treatment for a broad range of musculoskeletal and neuropathic pain disorders.

Treatment is individualized and incorporates conservative therapies, rehabilitation, non-opioid medications, and interventional procedures when clinically appropriate.

The incoming physician will work within a multidisciplinary environment, collaborating closely with our thirty-nine orthopedic surgeons, as well as physical therapists and advanced practice providers to improve patient function and quality of life.

Key Responsibilities

  • Evaluate, diagnose, and manage patients with acute and chronic spinal, musculoskeletal, and neuropathic pain conditions.
  • Develop individualized, evidence-based treatment plans incorporating conservative therapies, rehabilitation, non-opioid medications, and interventional procedures as clinically indicated.
  • Order and interpret diagnostic imaging and other relevant diagnostic studies.
  • Perform fluoroscopy-guided interventional pain procedures, including epidural steroid injections, medial branch blocks, radiofrequency ablation, and other appropriate procedures based on training and experience.
  • Collaborate with orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists, and surgical and nonsurgical spine advanced practice providers to coordinate comprehensive patient care.
  • Maintain timely and accurate electronic medical record (EMR) documentation.

Qualifications & Requirements

Education

  • M.D. or D.O. from an accredited medical school.
  • Completion of an ACGME-accredited Pain Medicine fellowship.

Licensure & Certification

  • Board-certified or board-eligible in Pain Medicine.
  • Background in Anesthesiology, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, or Neurology preferred; candidates from other eligible specialties are welcome to apply.
  • Valid or eligibility for unrestricted New York State medical licensure and appropriate DEA registration.

Clinical Experience & Skills

  • Training and proficiency in fluoroscopy-guided interventional pain procedures.
  • Experience with ultrasound-guided musculoskeletal and peripheral nerve procedures is preferred but not required.
  • Strong clinical decision-making, interpersonal communication skills, and commitment to collaborative, patient-centered care.

What We Offer

  • Partnership-track opportunity within an established, physician-led practice.
  • Competitive compensation package commensurate with experience.
  • Comprehensive benefits package, including health and dental insurance, retirement/401(k), CME allowance, and paid time off.
  • Established orthopedic and spine referral network.
  • Collaborative, supportive multispecialty practice environment.
  • Comprehensive orientation and ongoing professional development support.
