Empire Minimally Invasive Spine and Pain of New York - Pain Management in New York, New York

“I was referred to Dr. Akhnoukh back in 2020. My lower back was just a mess having been an xray tech since the seventies. Herniations, spinal stenosis, etc. Anti-inflammatory meds always bothered my stomach & were no longer working. So chronic back pain was a part of life I couldn't fix! Until I went to Dr. Akhnoukh & his expertise in various treatments have changed my life! I get RFA ( radio frequency ablation) & I was pain & medication free for 2yrs. Too long to explain but so worth checking into. I've repeated that procedure again & I've recommended family & friends bc I am so grateful!. He is knowledgeable, kind & caring. The office staff is also very pleasant to deal with!”

“From the moment I arrived for my procedure, I was treated with a very courteous, respectful, caring and professional staff. From the front desk staff to the nursing staff that prepped me for the procedure to the staff inside the procedure room, all were kind and attentive and made me feel comfortable and I was confident I was in good hands. I especially wanted to point out that Dr. Akhnoukh was exceptional in keeping me informed of what I should expect inside the procedure room and throughout the procedure. He is a kind, respectful doctor and his skills and professionalism is second to none!”

“I have been to visit Dr. Akhnoukh on several occasions with a diagnosed spinal cord compression. I had previously consulted with a neurosurgeon and an orthopedic, both of whom suggested surgery. Dr. Akhnoukh saw me and I had 3 epidurals and 1 nerve block starting last January 2023 and continued physical therapy. I am currently pain free and functional. I have recommended Dr. Akhnoukh to several people and would not hesitate to do so again. He is compassionate, competent and easy to communicate with. His office manager, Hillary, is also an asset to the practice.”
