HealingMaps Take: Pain Physicians NY is the only NYC ketamine practice we’ve verified with 9 locations spanning Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and the Bronx — meaningful geographic coverage for outer-borough patients who can’t easily reach Manhattan. The pain-medicine framing (treats CRPS, neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, oncology pain alongside depression) means ketamine sits within a broader interventional pain practice. Medicare and Medicaid in-network status is uncommon for ketamine providers.
Market Position: Pain Physicians NY is the only verified multi-borough ketamine network in NYC with explicit Medicare and Medicaid in-network status — patients on government insurance who have hit dead-ends at commercial-only clinics often find this practice works through their plan.
Is Pain Physicians NY Right for You?
✓ Choose Pain Physicians NY if:
- Your ketamine indication is chronic pain (CRPS, neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, oncology pain) rather than psychiatric only
- You have Medicare or Medicaid and want in-network ketamine coverage (uncommon in NYC ketamine market)
- You’re in Brooklyn, Queens, or the Bronx and want to avoid the trip into Manhattan — 9 locations across all four boroughs
- You want IV ketamine within a broader interventional pain medicine practice including nerve blocks and injections
✗ Look elsewhere if:
- You need Spravato (esketamine) — Pain Physicians NY focuses on IV and IM ketamine, not Spravato
- You’re seeking formal ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) with structured integration sessions

Patient Review
“Pain Physicians was the only NYC ketamine clinic that took my Medicare. The Brooklyn location was convenient and they coordinated my ketamine alongside the nerve block plan my pain doctor had already started.” — patient testimonial, paraphrased from public reviews
About Pain Physicians NY
Pain Physicians NY operates 9 ketamine-offering locations across the New York City metro: three in Brooklyn (Coney Island Ave, Downtown Brooklyn, Canarsie), one in Manhattan (240 E 23rd St), three in Queens (Astoria, Rego Park, Jamaica), and two in the Bronx (Crotona Pkwy, Waters Place). The Brooklyn flagship at 2279 Coney Island Avenue serves as the primary intake hub.
Clinical leadership is anchored by Dr. Leon Reyfman, MD, alongside a roster of board-certified pain physicians. The practice operates within a broader interventional pain medicine framework that includes nerve blocks, injections, and other pain interventions — ketamine is one component of a multi-modal pain program.
Conditions treated with ketamine include depression and treatment-resistant depression, chronic neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), diabetic neuropathy, PTSD, anxiety, oncology pain, and prevention of postoperative pain. The clinic emphasizes IV ketamine as the most effective route but also offers IM, oral, sublingual, nasal, and rectal administration based on clinical fit.
Insurance coverage is notably broad: most major plans accepted, with Medicare and Medicaid in-network as Tier 1 provider — uncommon for NYC ketamine clinics. Spravato and formal KAP are not part of the current program. Confirm coverage and intake at (646) 334-4326 (New Patient Coordinator).
