About Me

I am an anesthesiologist with additional fellowship training in interventional pain medicine. I believe patient care is a partnership requiring equal effort between the physician and patient. My goal is to provide compassionate care by listening and learning as much as I can about my patients in order to develop a treatment plan that heavily emphasizes improvement in function and quality of life.  My treatment philosophy involves using a treatment strategy that minimizes the use of opioid medications and utilizes safe, minimally invasive procedures in properly selected patients.

I treat a wide variety of conditions including, but not limited to, degenerative disease of the neck and back, pain secondary to spinal stenosis, headache, complex regional pain syndrome, and diabetic neuropathy.

I am particularly interested in neuromodulation, including spinal cord and peripheral nerve stimulation and their growing application in treating chronic pain.

I earned my medical degree at Drexel University College of Medicine and Ross University School of Medicine. I completed a residency at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital and a fellowship at Allegheny Health Network. I am a current member of the American Board of Anesthesiology, the North American Neuromodulation Society, and the American Society of Regional Anesthesia. 

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active by hiking and running. I also enjoy taking road trips with my wife and our crazy puppy, Barkley. I am a big-time New York Giants fan and a lover of good music and good coffee.

I was happily surprised when the nurse taking care of me, is Spanish . It was very refreshing to have some one speak my language as some things I can say in Spanish and not in English. Thank you

Primary doctor referred me to Dr Pathak & I got my appointment a week later which was great! I really like Dr Pathak he is very knowledgeable about my problem accurately diagnosing my problem by explaining everything to me. He got me scheduled ASAP for my L4L5 steroid spine injection for my pain which I am looking forward to getting done by him. I also like & appreciate very much how St Lukes can & does provide transportation for people like me that have no-one to drive them & pick them up when needing a spinal pain procedure to get done

Great Dr, saw like next day after I called due to excessive pain. Game plan layed out with pt and treatment. Doctor went well beyond 1/2 hour with me and listened with interest to what I had to say. I relief by just talking to him. You should be very proud to have Dr. P. As one of your providers. Please give him a big thank you from me for spending the time with me and the advice he provided. I also think he should be compensated with an award like customer satisfaction certificate, or a paid day off, I feel so good with this Dr . He's a keeper

Dr. Pathak listened to what I had to say. He looked at my x-rays and wants to do an intraarticular hip injection. He explained the procedure thoroughly and seemed very sensitive to the lack of treatment I have had and gave me an idea of what would be next.
