Treating the Person, Not Just the Pain with Dr Mila Mogilevsky

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when a dedicated clinician decides to build a pain management practice that breaks all the rules? Dr. Mila Mogilevski joins us to share the compelling story behind Unique Pain Medicine, her thriving New York-based practice that's challenging conventional approaches to treating chronic and acute pain.From day one, Dr. Mogilevski set out to create something different. While traditional pain medicine often defaulted to opioid prescriptions, she established a practice focused on comprehensive, multidisciplinary care. "Primary care doctors would call me saying 'I'm sending you so-and-so, he needs Percocet,'" she recalls. "I'd say 'slow down, that's not what's happening here.'" This revolutionary stance has evolved into a holistic approach combining interventional techniques, regenerative medicine options like PRP and stem cells, and wellness services—all designed to treat the whole person rather than just managing symptoms.At the heart of Unique Pain Medicine's success is an unwavering commitment to personalized care. With locations in Manhattan and Brooklyn (and a third on the horizon), Dr. Mogilevski's team guarantees patients will see physicians—not mid-level providers—and strives to accommodate same-day appointments. This dedication creates a stark contrast to the corporate healthcare trend sweeping through the industry, where small practices are being "gobbled up" by private equity firms and large organizations like Amazon. "The moment clinics get bought by private equity, it becomes all about the numbers...and patients get sidelined," she explains.Despite substantial challenges—including 75% overhead costs in expensive New York City and the pandemic's disruption to office worker patterns—Dr. Mogilevski remains optimistic about the future of boutique healthcare. She believes there will always be demand for alternatives to impersonal corporate medicine, especially when built around a team that prioritizes cooperation over competition. "That's sort of the secret sauce," she shares. "Be happy while you work and try to work together."Ready to discover how small, patient-focused clinics are reshaping healthcare delivery?
