Martin Pico, MD

Pain management in Midtown rarely feels like an afterthought. Martin Pico, MD keeps an office on the seventh floor at 787 11th Ave, just west of the Theater District’s neon sprawl. The building sits between Hell’s Kitchen’s older walk-ups and the polished glass towers that have crept in over the last decade.

Elevators open to a practice that, like most in the specialty, doesn’t advertise much beyond the basics. Visitors will find a restroom on-site, a detail that matters when appointments stretch longer than expected. The neighborhood itself offers little in the way of quiet—ambulances from nearby hospitals and delivery trucks idling at the curb make sure of that—so the address is more about convenience than retreat.

Those who need to schedule can reach the office at (877) 774-6328. Directions are easiest pulled from the map, which also marks the subway stops within a five-minute walk. If you’re already in the area, it’s the kind of place you might pass twice before noticing the small sign by the door.
