Arden Marc Kaisman is an American anesthesiologist and pain management physician based in New York City. Board certified in anesthesiology and pain medicine by the American Board of Anesthesiology, he practices at NY Pain Care on East 57th Street in Midtown Manhattan, where he treats patients across the New York metropolitan area for conditions ranging from acute post-operative pain to chronic and treatment-resistant cases. With more than four decades in medicine since completing his internship in 1985, his clinical work combines conservative management with interventional procedures including epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, and related image-guided techniques. He also serves as a medical-legal expert witness in anesthesiology.
Early life and education
Kaisman earned his medical degree from Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, New York, in 1984.[1] He completed an internship at Kings County Hospital Center in Brooklyn in 1985, followed by a residency in anesthesiology at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan, which he completed in 1988.[1] Kings County Hospital Center, one of New York City's major public hospitals, and Mount Sinai Hospital, an academic medical center on the Upper East Side, together provided Kaisman with a clinical training environment spanning both high-volume public health settings and tertiary academic medicine.
Following his residency, Kaisman pursued and obtained board certification in anesthesiology from the American Board of Anesthesiology, the primary certifying body for the specialty in the United States.[1][2] He additionally holds subspecialty certification in pain medicine, a credential that requires dedicated additional training beyond general anesthesiology in the diagnosis and multidisciplinary management of complex pain conditions.[1][2]
Career
Anesthesiology and pain medicine
Kaisman has practiced medicine for more than 40 years, concentrating on anesthesiology and its subspecialty of pain medicine since completing his residency training in 1988.[1] Anesthesiology encompasses perioperative care, critical care, and pain management, and physicians trained in the field frequently subspecialize in pain medicine, which addresses the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of acute, chronic, and post-surgical pain syndromes. Kaisman's career reflects this pathway, with a sustained focus on patients whose pain is persistent, complex, or has not responded adequately to earlier treatment.[3]
His practice draws on both conservative and interventional methods. Conservative management approaches can include pharmacological strategies, physical therapy coordination, and integrated care planning. Interventional pain procedures employ targeted, often image-guided techniques designed to address the anatomical source of a patient's pain rather than managing symptoms alone; common procedures in this category include epidural steroid injections, facet joint injections, nerve blocks, and trigger point injections, among others. Kaisman develops individualized treatment plans built around each patient's specific diagnosis, pain history, and prior treatment responses rather than applying a single standardized protocol across cases.[3][4]
NY Pain Care
Kaisman practices at NY Pain Care, located on East 57th Street in Midtown Manhattan, where he sees patients from across the New York metropolitan area.[4] The practice focuses on patients presenting with persistent and complex pain conditions. Its stated clinical areas include interventional pain procedures, chronic pain management, post-operative pain treatment, and anesthesiology consultation, reflecting the dual training background of its physician staff.[3]
NY Pain Care's treatment model centers on individualized care, with plans tailored to each patient's clinical circumstances and adjusted over time as conditions evolve. This approach is consistent with established models in pain medicine, in which long-term management of chronic conditions requires iterative assessment and coordinated multidisciplinary care rather than resolution in a single clinical encounter.[4]
Medical-legal expert witness work
Alongside his clinical practice, Kaisman provides medical-legal expert witness services in anesthesiology.[3] Physicians who serve in this capacity are retained by legal counsel to review medical records, assess the standard of care applied in a given case, and offer independent, qualified opinions in litigation matters involving medical treatment. In anesthesiology, such engagements frequently arise in the context of surgical complications, perioperative injuries, or disputes over pain management decisions. Expert witness participation in this specialty typically requires both deep clinical experience and current familiarity with accepted standards of anesthesiology practice, and physicians who take on this role are generally recognized for their expertise within both the medical and legal communities.[4][3]
Recognition
Kaisman maintains verified professional profiles across several major physician directories used by patients and referring clinicians. These include U.S. News and World Report Health,[2] Healthgrades,[1] Doximity,[5] Vitals,[6] WebMD,[7] and Medical News Today.[8] Doximity, a peer-verified professional network for physicians in the United States, lists him within the anesthesiology and pain medicine community and serves as a credentialing reference among medical professionals.[5] His full professional biography and current practice information are maintained on his official website at drardenkaisman.com.[4]
