Background and training
Dr. Peruvemba received his Bachelor of Arts from Washington University in St. Louis and his medical degree from New York Medical College in Valhalla. He completed his anesthesiology residency at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital and an interventional pain management fellowship at Mount Sinai Hospital, both in New York City.
Why patients choose Dr. Peruvemba
Chronic pain is one of the areas where accumulated pattern recognition counts for a great deal: the same back pain presentation can be a disc, a facet joint, a nerve root, or a problem that will not respond to any injection at all, and telling them apart early spares patients months of procedures that were never going to help. With 18-plus years focused specifically on interventional pain medicine within a longer anesthesiology career, Dr. Peruvemba brings that history to diagnosis as much as to treatment.
Practice focus
Interventional treatment of spinal pain, nerve injury pain, post-surgical pain, and cancer pain.
