Our Mission
Our History
Dr. Han S. Lee established Community Pain Medicine in 2004. After many years of treating patients, he realized that the people of Queens were in desperate need of effective, responsible pain management. He saw that many patients had unhealthy posture and lifestyles that contributed to the recurrence of pain and that very few pain centers were set up to offer the highest levels of pain management services.
Originally established in Bayside, Community Pain Medicine eventually moved its offices to Flushing in 2011, where a much larger facility allowed us to further expand services to include physical therapy, occupational therapy, physiatry, and even acupuncture. Over the years, we have streamlined our services to best fit the needs of our community, but we still pride ourselves in providing a comprehensive pain management solution for our patients in our state-of-the-art 7200-square-foot facility.
In order to best serve our community, our providers and staff speak English, Korean, Spanish, Tagalog.
