Services

A physiatrist is a medical doctor certified by the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.  As a physiatrist, Dr. Taub specializes in providing medical treatments and coordinating rehabilitation for a variety of functional disabilities and injuries.  Whether your condition is new or long-standing, you should consider a phone call to The Center for Musculoskeletal Medicine.

Dr. Taub and Your Family Doctor . . .

Dr. Taub is not a primary care physician, so working with Dr. Taub does not mean you will be switching doctors.    Dr. Taub will work with your primary care physician to help you with a specific complaint or condition.  When and if you no longer need the specialized services of a physiatrist for your condition or goals, your family practitioner will continue to provide your life-long care.

Dr. Taub and Your Surgeon . . .

Dr. Taub provides non-surgical, medical treatments.  However, as a physiatrist, Dr. Taub’s specialty encompasses the multidisciplinary coordination of care for the conditions described above.  This means that Dr. Taub does not limit your care to the treatments he himself can provide.  When planning your care, Dr. Taub uses the latest research and science to roster the team of healthcare practitioners you need.  This team may include surgeons, physical therapists, speech therapist, occupational therapists, or homecare.  Dr. Taub works closely with everyone on your healthcare team to make sure that your care is coordinated, efficient, and effective.  When and if surgery proves the best course of treatment for your condition, Dr. Taub will coordinate care with your surgeon or help you choose a good surgeon for your procedure.
