Relieving pain and improving function are the entire focus of Dr. Amit Poonia, M.D.’s medical practice.
Dr. Poonia believes that the only way to rid patients of their pain and dysfunction is to work collaboratively with the patient and the treatment team to understand the root cause of the pain and dysfunction and to treat the underlying pathology.
“Without addressing the reason for the pain, any short-term fixes will eventually fail,” he says. “I want my patients to live pain free.”
Dr. Poonia is an expert in identifying the safest and most effective treatments to provide maximum rehabilitation for each individual patient, based on their specific needs and preferences. He uses a set of minimally invasive modalities in cases where these techniques can provide pain relief and restore function while avoiding invasive and potentially risky surgeries. These strategies include:

His knowledge makes him an invaluable asset for patients experiencing pain and dysfunction.
Dr. Poonia is double board-certified in interventional pain management and anesthesiology and licensed to practice medicine in 4 states. After completing his medical internship at Georgetown University Hospital, Dr. Poonia served as Chief Resident at the SUNY Downstate Medical Center in the Department of Anesthesiology and then completed specialized training through an interventional pain management fellowship at New York University (NYU).

"Dr Poonia goes out of his way to help the patients he serves from explaining everything he will do to help, changing his schedule to help you out. I have been using him for over a year now and can't thank him and the people that work for him enough for how they helped me, i highly recommend him and his office. Also for me it was not my back it is my stomach and i wish i met him years ago."

"I have to say, I've dealt with a lot of doctors as I've gotten older, and dr. Poonia is one of the best doctors Ive dealt with. He's gotten me through some rough times with my back problems. Am able to go to work everyday, play hockey, and become a happier person altogether since he's relieved my issues. His staff are also on point and very attentive. Even yesterday I was given some great advice from Dr. Poonia's receptionist. All in all, I would refer any of my friends or family to Dr. Poonia's practice."
