We are excited to welcome the newest member of our faculty practice, Dr. Alfred Gellhorn. Dr. Gellhorn received his MD degree from the University of Pennsylvania and completed his residency at the University of Washington in Seattle. He completed additional fellowship training in Sports Medicine as well as diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound. His research interests include the study of minimally invasive regenerative treatments for disorders such as osteoarthritis and tendinopathy. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife and two daughters, and enjoys kayaking, cycling, and woodworking.
Dr. Alfred Gellhorn is Assistant Professor of Clinical Rehabilitation Medicine and also serves as the Director of Sports Medicine for the Division of Rehabilitation Medicine. He treats a wide range of musculoskeletal, sports, and spine injuries, with a non-operative, patient-centered approach that focuses on maximizing function and optimizing quality of life. He uses state of the art tools such as high-resolution musculoskeletal ultrasound for both diagnosis and for precise guidance of treatments. His clinical interests include regenerative treatments of musculoskeletal injuries using therapies such as platelet rich plasma, autologous blood, and stem cell injections. Dr. Gellhorn is board certified in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and in Sports Medicine, and holds additional credentials in Musculoskeletal Sonography.
Dr. Gellhorn believes that knowledge empowers patients and makes every effort to educate his patients about their injuries. His patient care philosophy is that making an accurate diagnosis should always followed by tailoring a treatment plan to each individual. Listening to what is personally important to each person and getting to know his patients as individuals is extremely rewarding to him and allows him to create highly personalized care plans.
