Yevgeniy Sorokin, DO

“What I try to do is the least invasive treatment that would take care of the pain. That’s the way I would want to be treated myself.”

Dr. Sorokin’s interest in medicine started early when he was hit by a car in Moscow at just 4 years old. He suffered a ruptured spleen and a severe concussion, spending two months in the hospital recovering. His family moved to New York from Eastern Europe when he was 12. His interest in pain management, though, was piqued while he worked at the pharmacy at Sloan Kettering for a year before medical school. “I liked seeing the quick results of pain management treatments where patients could start feeling better immediately,” he says.

Approach
Dr. Sorokin has been lucky to train under a number of great doctors and is a proponent of home exercise and physical therapy. He is also interested in regenerative medicine procedures, such as SI joint fusion and neuromodulation, as they provide effective pain relief in the least invasive way possible.

Professional Highlights
Dr. Sorokin received his bachelor’s in biology from City University of New York (CUNY) in Brooklyn and his medical degree from the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine. He completed his Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation residency at Mercy Medical Center in New York as well as a year-long, interventional pain management apprenticeship with Dr. Harvey Finkelstein.

Personal
Dr. Sorokin is a big tennis fan, even teaching his children to play. Though family time is a priority, he also enjoys shooting skeet at a shooting range.
