Comprehensive Care
Many self-pay patients come to us for ongoing care, not just a single procedure. Our practice combines pain management with on-site physical therapy and chiropractic care — a coordinated multidisciplinary approach where your providers share records and work together on your treatment plan. Whether you need a one-time injection, a course of PT, or a full treatment plan, we build it around what you actually need.
Featured Self-Pay Procedures
Percutaneous Discectomy
Minimally invasive procedure to relieve pressure from herniated disc material, often avoiding open spine surgery. Performed under fluoroscopic guidance in our on-site surgery suite.
Targeted anti-inflammatory injections around irritated spinal nerves — effective for herniated disc, sciatica, and spinal stenosis pain. Available for cash-pay when insurance authorization is a barrier.

What Your Consultation Looks Like
Before scheduling any procedure, you’ll meet with Dr. Lerner for a consultation. Here’s what to expect:
- Brief intake paperwork — available in English and Spanish.
- Consultation and exam with Dr. Lerner to discuss your condition and goals.
- Review of any imaging — bring MRI or X-ray results if you have them, or we’ll coordinate imaging as needed.
- Discussion of procedure options, including expected outcomes, recovery, and self-pay pricing for your specific procedure.
- Scheduling — procedures can typically be scheduled soon after consultation.
Most consultations take 30 to 45 minutes.
If you need help finding legal representation, ask us — we can point you toward experienced attorneys who handle these cases. You never need legal representation to be treated here.
