Montefiore expands sports medicine team

Sports medicine is one of the hottest fields in the medical profession. So it”™s not surprising that Montefiore has added two more specialists to its team. Abir Naguib, M.D., brings her expertise in a breadth of musculoskeletal problems to Montefiore”™s newest Westchester location”¯–”¯Montefiore Einstein Advanced Care”¯ in Elmsford ”“ as well as to the location in White Plains. Derek Ho, D.O., will be at multiple Montefiore sites in the Bronx, including the Moses and Wakefield campuses and the Hutchinson Metro Center. 

Treating a range of ailments, from tennis elbow to acute sports-related injuries and concussions, the team of rehabilitation medicine physicians, physical therapists, occupational therapists and exercise physiologists creates tailored plans that can include ultrasound-guided pain management injections, platelet rich plasma (PRP) treatments that use the patient”™s own blood cells to quicken recovery and sophisticated physical therapy techniques. By expanding the number of physicians and”¯locations, patients have better access to care closer to home.
