We utilize conventional treatments, Botox injections, nerve blocks and trigger point injections combined with complementary modalities like acupuncture, supplements and herbal remedies, especially in the treatment of headaches, pain and peripheral neuropathies.

We offer onsite nerve testing (nerve conduction and EMG electromyography), EEG (electroencephalography; brain wave study), and VNG (videonystagmography, vestibular and balance testing).

A few words from Dr. Sadowska about her practice

Welcome to my website.

I am a Neurologist specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the nervous system and pain problems. For more information about Neurology itself and my Specialty, please see separate sections of this website.

I am a Neurologist specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the nervous system and pain problems. Treatment is based upon a holistic approach  through individual, personalized care given to each patient  via a combination of the  most modern western medicine techniques together with, when needed,   complimentary medicine of the eastern traditions.

You can see that “West meets East” philosophy through my educational path.

I hold a Ph.D. degree in anatomy of the brain,  have completed Neurology Residency training in New York University Medical Center and  Multiple Sclerosis and Demyelinating Disorders Fellowship in NYU Multiple Sclerosis Center. After my clinical training, I also became a licensed acupuncturist with training from both, NYU and University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Chengdu, China. In “East River Neurology,” there is a rare “West meets East” treatment philosophy which is a direct result of my educational path, a path in which my primary goal is to achieve the best possible care for my patients.

Whenever applicable, I  combine conventional medicine with complementary modalities  such as acupuncture and  herbal remedies and supplements. I believe that teamwork and communication between the patient and physician are crucial for a successful treatment. An educated patient can substantially contribute to better understanding of the problem and better outcome.

Please feel free to call us to schedule a consultation in order to assess your needs.

Sincerely,
Kate Sadowska, M.D., Ph.D.
