Diagnostic Services
We recognize that the most important step in your care is an accurate diagnosis of the cause of your pain. In addition to traditional imaging methods such as x-rays, CT scanning, and MRI scanning in conjunction with Weill Cornell Imaging at NewYork-Presbyterian (WCI-NYP), our physicians conduct diagnostic procedures to visualize spinal problems. WCI-NYP’s superb diagnostic facilities are located only blocks away from our practice and appointments and referrals can be made directly by the Spine Center staff.
