Brian Durkin, DO - Pain Management in Port Jefferson Station, New York

“I strongly advise against seeing this doctor. I injured my back in April, and while the pain was mostly manageable during the day, it became severe at night due to sleeping on my back. On July 24, 2025, I underwent a procedure by Dr. Durkin, as my original doctor had moved away. I never met Dr. Durkin until the day of the procedure, and no one explained that I would be receiving six injections in addition to numbing shots. (With my previous doctor, I only received one injection.) Now, seven days later, I am in significantly more pain than before. It hurts to walk, sit, or even rest. This experience has left me worse off than when I started. Please think twice before trusting your care to this provider.”

“Even though this was a few years ago, my experience with Dr. Durkin was a great one. The procedure that was done helped me tremendously with my back pain. He was also very kind and I have to say the same of his office staff. Thank you Dr Durkin.”

“I have had Low Back pain for many years. I have seen Orthopedists, taken many prescribed medications with no help. Then my friend told me about Dr. Durkin. I have been going to Dr. Durkin for at least ten years now. He and his nurse practitioner Kristen have kept me pain free for all these years. Whenever my back would start to hurt, which is maybe once a year now, I would make an appointment and Dr. Durkin would take care of it. I can't tell you how he has changed my life. I was at the point where I could hardly walk. Now that is not an issue anymore. Dr. Durkin, Kristen and their staff are absolutely wonderful. Finally, I can go on vacation, with my family, to places like Disneyworld which is a lot of walking with no problems. If you have pain anywhere not just your back, I highly recommend you see Dr. Durkin. He is excellent. Dr. Durkin and Kristen are both so kind, caring and professional. I just can't say enough good things about this office. Arthur Picciano”

“Absolutely terrible "doctor". Definitely got his license from a cereal box. He chucked a metal medical cart against the wall in the operating room and stormed out because i got upset that they said they weren't sedating me for an epidural also the anesthesiologist administered a drug that was noted on my chart that i have bad reaction to and they gave that to me and he got angry that I was moving around. Yet that drug they used is what makes me irritable and makes me move around. I will be sending this information to the state. Do not let this man with an ego ever touch your spine. I can't imagine what the staff and other patients have to deal with I feel terrible for all of them. What a terrible "man" he is. I've seen toddlers with more respect and better tempers than him. You should be ashamed " Dr. Brian Durkin "”
