Knee pain evaluation for Astoria patients at M&S in Forest Hills, Queens

SERVING ASTORIA FROM FOREST HILLS

Knee pain support for people in Astoria

Astoria residents often travel to our Forest Hills office by taking the E or F train to the 71st Avenue stop then walking one block to 76-55 Austin Street. The neighborhood mix of parks, waterfront paths, and busy sidewalks can aggravate knee discomfort for many locals. At M&S we start with thorough assessment by Dr. Mehran Manouel and consider non-surgical steps such as Genicular Artery Embolization with Dr. Amir Salem when appropriate before any surgical discussion.
