Kiran V. Patel, MD — Founder
I didn’t become an interventional pain specialist just to treat pain — I became one to restore movement, rebuild identity, and return purpose to people who’ve been told “just live with it.” As Director of Pain Medicine at Lenox Hill Hospital and Founder of NYC Neuromodulation Center of Excellence, I help patients reclaim their lives through evidence-based, layered therapy — with a focus on function, longevity, and quality of life. My approach is shaped by years of clinical innovation and my own roots as an athlete. With 14+ years of experience, I’ve: Performed thousands of interventional spine and neuromodulation procedures Trained nationally and internationally on neuromodulation and interventional pain solutions Partnered with innovative medical technology companies to ensure devices translate into real-world results Beyond the clinic, I mentor fellows, consult with medtech, and develop protocols focused on outcomes that matter to patients. My 5-step vetting framework is used to evaluate therapies based on physiology, data, skills, and sustained outcomes. Key areas of passion: Athlete recovery — from PGA hopefuls to lifelong movers Low back longevity — via regenerative rehab and strength activation Redefining KOL — from influencer to implementation strategist Creating protocols that scale trust, not just treatment I collaborate with: Medtech brands seeking clinical alignment Providers building precision care pathways Organizations moving from awareness to adoption
