Howard Liss, MD Rehabilitation Institute is a comprehensive facility featuring a medical doctor (physiatrist) with broad and extensive experience in treating patients with pain and disability. Dr. Liss treats conditions that affect the spine, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, bones, spinal cord, and brain. Physiatrists' training includes elements of orthopedics, neurology, and rheumatology in addition to their own unique discipline. As a teacher at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center and president of an academic medical society, Dr. Liss stays current with new technologies and emerging treatments in rehabilitation medicine. Physiatrists are well positioned to make a specific neurological or musculoskeletal diagnosis and develop treatment plans to manage pain and maximize the patient's level of function. Our goal is to provide a unique patient experience that is unmatched by any other practice. Although simple and conservative solutions are usually effective, we provide the most technologically advanced care when necessary.
