About Us - Approach To Care At Buffalo Spine and Sports (BSSI), we take a unique approach to patient care that begins the moment you walk through our doors.
1) At BSSI, we emphasize the role of the medical exam/medical history in evaluating our patients. We supplement that information with lab work and imaging studies. It’s really more of an old fashioned way of practicing medicine, which is a BSSI tradition in which we take great pride.
2) At BSSI, we provide comprehensive medical services and the widest array of medical treatments available at any Western New York Physiatry Practice. Our physicians, physician's assistants and physical therapists offer ultrasound and x-ray guided injections, Botox treatments, electromyograms (EMG's), Women’s Health and Rehabilitation Services, Active Release Technique (ART) therapy and functional physical therapy, depending on each patients’ medical needs.
3) At BSSI, we focus on a patient's function, as opposed to pain control. We teach our patients to exercise in ways that actually restore their body's functions that may have been lost. These functional exercises are developed through custom-designed physical therapy programs created by our physicians, in partnership with our in-house and consulting physical therapists.
4) At BSSI, we are staffed by nationally renowned physician-experts in spine, muscle and joint problems, as well as sports injuries. And that is a professional reputation unparalled in Western New York. Our patients receive the most advanced and professional medical care available, as our physicians are constantly researching and learning about the latest medical advancements and techniques that will help our patients regain their health and remain strong.
5) At BSSI, we place a high value on education….teaching our patients, our fellow physicians, our staff and the community about the constantly evolving field of Physical Medicine and Rehabiitation. We do this in order to provide information and therapies that will help our patients to take back their lifestyles.
6) At BSSI, we constantly strive to achieve patient satisfaction in a number of ways--updating the way we access and greet our patients, utilizing patient satisfaction surveys, providing four convenient BSSI locations throughout Western New York and making it our #1 priority to put our patients first at all times. That is why BSSI has earned a 94% patient satisfaction rating (based on independent patient surveys.)
