About the physicians

Dr. Leland Berkwits specializes in interventional pain management, with a focus on diagnosing and treating spine-related pain at its source. His work centers on using targeted, image-guided procedures to address nerve irritation and inflammation, helping patients find relief without surgery whenever possible. Dr. Berkwits takes a structured, diagnostic-first approach, ensuring that each treatment plan is tailored to the underlying cause of a patient’s pain rather than just the symptoms. 

Dr. Phillip Green treats a broad range of chronic pain conditions, including neck, back, and nerve-related pain. He focuses on providing thoughtful, patient-centered care that prioritizes conservative and minimally invasive options before more advanced interventions. Dr. Green works closely with patients to help them understand their condition and make informed decisions about their care, offering treatment plans designed to improve function and quality of life over time.
