  • Life-Changing Relief from Knee Pain with GAE Treatment!

    I had been struggling with chronic knee pain for years due to osteoarthritis, and nothing seemed to provide lasting relief. After researching alternatives to surgery, I decided to visit Astra Knee Pain Center and learn more about GAE (genicular artery embolization). From the first consultation, the staff made me feel comfortable and well-informed. The doctor took the time to explain how GAE works—a minimally invasive procedure that targets the inflamed blood vessels causing knee pain—and answered all my questions in detail. The procedure itself was much easier than I expected. Since it’s non-surgical and done on an outpatient basis, I was able to go home the same day and recover quickly. Within a few weeks, I noticed a significant reduction in pain and improved mobility. Now I can walk longer distances and stay active without constant discomfort. I’m truly grateful to the team at Astra Knee Pain Center for offering such an advanced treatment option. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a non-surgical solution for knee pain.

  • Highly recommend their care!

    After breaking my hand, I started physical therapy at Physical Therapists NYC, and the results have been amazing. The team guided me through every step of my recovery with a customized plan to regain strength, mobility, and flexibility. They were patient, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout the process. Thanks to them, my hand is almost back to normal.

  • I recommend them to all my friends!!

    Dr. Alex Shalman put me completely at ease during my dental work—no need to feel nervous about going to the dentist anymore! The staff is equally fantastic—warm, friendly, and genuinely caring. The equipment is state-of-the-art. Definitely a 5-star experience!

  • This is one of the best pain management teams!

    From my very first appointment, I felt confident that I was in good hands. Dr. Raj Raval explained everything clearly and was always accessible to address any concerns. The cervical epidural steroid injection was quick and easy, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! I highly recommend Downtown Pain Physicians Of Brooklyn for pain management.
