Bogdan Pain Management consists of three board-certified physicians. Led by Dr. Sergey Bogdan, him and his colleagues specialize in interventional pain management and use same-day procedures to treat chronic pain conditions.

Born and raised in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine, Dr. Sergey V. Bogdan received his medical training at Leningrad Pediatric Medical School. He continued his education at Saratov State Medical School in Saratov, Russia. In 1988, he started working as a trauma surgeon at the Russian Military Hospital in Germany and then continued in Bryansk City Hospital.

He moved to America in 1994 and completed his medical training and residency at New York Hospital and Nassau University Medical Center. His most relevant educational experience was a fellowship done at the Neurology, Headache, and Pain Relief Center in Linwood, NJ, where he focused on Interventional Pain Management.

Dr. Bogdan has many interests and hobbies, including numismatics, playing chess, and reading classic literature novels. He also enjoys opera, movies, music, and taking long hikes in the woods. He supports numerous causes and charities, including the UJA-Federation of New York and his local church and police department.

Ive always followed a straightforward rule in my pain management practice. I believe that everyone should leave my office with some level of pain relief. Though the ultimate goal of my work with patients is to help them get out of pain. Too often, their pain covers every aspect of their lives. Its great to see their reactions when my treatment results in a reduction of pain or its elimination. Once pain is managed or eliminated, we can begin the journey toward physical well-being.

In my field of specialty, we have to think differently than most other physicians. Most doctors are biomedically trained. They believe all pain has a tissue injury as a cause. We believe that pain often has a biological/psychological component. Thats why I spend a great deal of time listening to my patients rather than talking. Thats how I began to uncover underlying factors that contribute to pain.

Back pain is one of the most common types of pain but is often mistreated. I use a conservative and minimally invasive approach that focuses on treatment and prevention of back pain. Also, Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD): I have helped hundreds of these patients with RSD return to work.

We treat pain associated with several debilitating conditions and syndromes, including herniated discs, spinal stenosis, osteoarthritis of the back and joints, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, spondyloarthropathies, myofascial pain, pain syndromes secondary to peripheral neuropathy, postherpetic neuralgia, and headaches.

Safety: Patients can be assured that procedures are conducted in a manner that has their safety and long-term wellbeing in mind. Patient-Centeredness: We will work to understand the unique needs of all our patients. Effectiveness: Patients will achieve the best outcomes possible with available state of the art treatments. Efficiency: Patients will receive precisely the amount of care that they need. Timeliness: Patients will receive the care they need when they need it.

We are proud to say that we have accreditation with the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities. This is an honor bestowed upon only those facilities that pass through the rigorous process of proving compliance in accordance with the state, HIPAA and OSHA regulations, and is generally only awarded to large facilities and hospitals. Our staff consists of highly trained and experienced employees that offer a professional but friendly atmosphere. They include knowledgeable managers who can answer insurance and billing questions, front desk receptionists, certified Medical Assistants, Registered X-Ray Technicians, and Registered Nurses, all with years of experience in this specialized field. These professionals all excel in providing the exceptional care our patients have come to expect.
