I cannot say enough positive things about this practice and my experience with the doctor and staff. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed, respected, and genuinely cared for. The entire office is professional, compassionatShow moree, and incredibly well run. The doctor took the time to listen to my concerns, answer my questions, and explain everything clearly without ever making me feel rushed. It is refreshing to have a physician who combines knowledge and expertise with genuine compassion and understanding. The staff is equally wonderful. Everyone I interacted with was friendly, helpful, and professional, which made the entire experience comfortable from beginning to end. Finding a pain management physician you can trust is extremely important, and I am very grateful to have found this practice. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for knowledgeable, compassionate, and attentive care.

It was a pleasant experience. I was referred by a friend who was treated by Dr. Polskin for spinal stenosis pain with great success. My stenosis pain is not treatable with spinal injections due the nature of the stenosis. Surgery Show moreis not recommended due to my age. Dr. Polskin offered other suggestions for pain control and clearly explained how and why I am having the pain. She and all of my questions in a clear professional manor. Thank you.

Alena Polesin, MD, is a board-certified Physiatrist (Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation physician), and also specializes in sport and pain medicine. She is proud to serve patients at New Jersey Pain Management, with offices in Morristown, and Rockaway.

After graduating from University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, she completed her residency in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at New York Presbyterian – The University Hospital of Columbia & Cornell, serving as a Chief Resident.  After extensive post residency training and clinical experiences in musculoskeletal medicine, she became Director of Spine, Sports & Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation at New Jersey Pain Management -The Spine, Sports and Pain Medicine Center.

She is an expert in image-guided diagnostic and therapeutic injections utilizing ultrasound and fluoroscopy, and is fully proficient in electrodiagnosis. Her clinical approach is focused on both: immediate effective pain reduction, as well as an assessment of the whole musculoskeletal system to prevent further injury and slow down effects of wear and tear associated with aging.

Dr. Polesin recently developed a growing interest in Regenerative Medicine approaches, a new and exciting field with emphasis on a more natural recovery from many chronic and difficult-to-treat conditions.

Dr Polesin was very helpful and understanding of what my pain level has been. She made sure that I am comfortable with my medication and after surgery I will be under my surgeons care. But if I need her in the future (which I kinda hope I don’t need her. Sorry) I can call her and she will meet with me. Thank you

Follow-up visit with Dr Polesin, and I continue to be impressed with and grateful for her care. Even in the midst of treatments that don't go perfectly, she has a 'bulldog' determination, and is always ready with the next idea to attack the problem. I have clearly found the right doctor for my issue.

Office staff is very nice. Time spent in waiting room was quick. Clinical staff is nice and not a long wait for the Dr. I did feel like My appointment went quickly, but I’m sure it was because I had a common condition that the Dr was very knowledgeable on, She did give me the opportunity to ask as many questions as I needed, I did not feel rushed.
