Sadiah Siddiqui, MD

Pain management in the city often feels like a maze of referrals and generic advice. Sadiah Siddiqui, MD offers a different approach, focusing on the specifics of chronic discomfort without the usual runaround. The practice handles everything from nerve blocks to medication management, all within the quiet stretch of the Upper East Side.

You’ll find the office on the fourth floor of 541 E 71st St, a building that blends into the neighborhood’s understated rhythm. The area itself is a mix of pre-war brick and modern glass, where the occasional honk of a taxi is the loudest interruption. It’s the kind of place where people prefer to keep their business discreet, and the services here reflect that—epidural injections, radiofrequency ablation, and physical therapy referrals are all part of the routine.

Those dealing with long-term pain know how rare it is to find a specialist who doesn’t default to the same old scripts. Here, the emphasis is on tailoring treatments to the individual, whether that means spinal cord stimulation or simply adjusting daily habits. A call to (646) 618-7760 will get you started, though don’t expect an immediate answer—this isn’t a high-volume clinic.

For directions, pull up the map. The neighborhood doesn’t announce itself, but that’s part of the appeal.
