Specialties

  • Interventional Pain Management

    As an interventional pain management specialist in New Jersey, Dr. Kang focuses on relieving chronic pain in patients. Interventional pain specialists offer pain relief by blocking or interrupting the transmission of neurological pain signals in the brain. Dr. Kang may perform treatments such as spinal cord and nerve stimulation, nerve or medial branch blocks, medication management, or the implantation of drug delivery systems.

  • Anesthesiology

    As an anesthesiologist in Fort Lee, NJ, Dr. Kang ensures patients are free of pain before (pre-op), during, and after (post-op) a surgical procedure. By administering anesthesia, Dr. Kang ensures that patients do not feel the pain of a surgical procedure.

  • Pain Management

    Pain management doctors specialize in caring for patients who are dealing with chronic pain, whether resulting from injury, disease, or otherwise. Dr. Kang creates customized pain management plans for patients that may include therapy, medication management, or minimally invasive procedures. When creating a customized pain management plan, Dr. Kang will evaluate the patient and their medical history, in addition to performing tests to arrive at a precise diagnosis.
