Dr. Douglas Schottenstein founded NY Spine Medicine with one goal in mind: to provide the highest quality pain management and neurological care in a modern, patient-focused setting. He is one of only 200 physicians in the U.S. who is double board-certified in both neurology and interventional pain management.

At NY Spine Medicine, Dr. Schottenstein and his experienced team treat a wide range of acute and chronic pain conditions. He offers advanced diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, including epidurals, nerve blocks, joint injections, spinal cord stimulation, and more—helping patients find long-term relief and regain their quality of life.

Dr. Schottenstein completed his interventional pain management training at Columbia University/NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, consistently ranked among the top hospitals in the nation. He received his neurology training at Emory University, home to one of the country’s leading neurology programs.

In addition to leading NY Spine Medicine, Dr. Schottenstein serves as an assistant professor of anesthesiology and neurosurgery at Cornell University, part of the region’s top-ranked hospital system. He is an active member of several leading medical organizations, including the American Academy of Neurology, the American Society of Anesthesiology, the American Society of Regional Anesthesia, the International Spine Intervention Society, and the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians—staying at the forefront of innovation in pain medicine.
