The IMSMP, together with our research affiliate, encompasses 34,000 square feet of space in Midtown Manhattan. The space was constructed in 2006, with the specific goal of reimagining how a physician's office should appear. Renowned architects developed a beautiful design aesthetic and applied it to the functional requirements of a medical center. The large space is necessary to provide adequate facilities for our many divisions and yet was designed in such a way as to foster communication and interaction between those divisions. At the same time, the design aesthetic of the center conveys a sense of openness and tranquility to our patients.

Interactions with the MS specialists occur in one of five neurologist's offices and twelve patient examination rooms. Visiting physicians have a consultation room and examination areas. The 500 square feet rehabilitation division includes the Physical Therapy Suite, Manual Therapy Suite, and Gait Paths. Within the Physical Therapy suite, there is a low therapy table to allow for variety of functional activities for people with multiple sclerosis including bed mobility, transfer training, sitting balance and posture training. An eight foot parallel bar set with adjustable bar heights and widths and a midline plate to provide a quality focused gait training. Full length mirrors are used to provide patients with feedback during gait, balance and posture training.  The space within the suite and the equipment available allows for floor recovery activities, dynamic activities including coordination and gait training and our monthly wheelchair clinic. The Manual Therapy Suite is a newly renovated area dedicated for one-on-one manual and massage therapy techniques.  The room was designed facilitate a relaxing, comfortable and stress-free therapy session performed by one of the practice's physical or massage therapists. The gait paths include two 15'x4' perpendicular paths with markings to allow for detailed gait analysis and training. In addition, the layout of these paths allows for dynamic vestibular rehabilitation activities to be performed in a safe manner. The cognitive functioning unit has several dedicated offices and exam rooms to perform neuropsychological testing and cognitive therapy. The social work suite consists of our two social workers' offices, a private psychotherapy room and a patient education room.

The spacious, bright and airy Infusion Suite provides service seven days a week and can accommodate 18 patients at a time. Infusions are made more comfortable with large, inviting treatment chairs, blankets, a flat-screen television, and coffee and snack bar. Massage and reflexology services are available to patients during their treatments.

A Private Infusion Suite is also available for patients who desire more solitude during their treatment. For an additional fee, patients can enjoy this private, hard-wood floored room complete with a comfortable chair, plasma-screen television, high-speed internet access and a private restroom.  A personal concierge provides your favorite reading material and stocks a mini-bar of complimentary gourmet coffee and snacks.  Delivery of meals from local restaurants is also available. Massage and reflexology are also available to patients at the private infusion suite. 

Roosevelt Hospital

Should any IMSMP patient require hospitalization, our hospital affiliation is Roosevelt Hospital Center, an academic affiliate of Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. The hospital is a 1,076-bed, full-service community and tertiary care facility located conveniently on 10th Avenue between 58th and 59th Streets, just one block from the IMSMP. The close proximity to the center allows rapid, convenient emergency care. Every patient that is admitted to Roosevelt will receive a daily visit from an IMSMP nurse and social worker, as well as from their MS center neurologist. Patients admitted for MS-related emergencies will be under the care of their MS physician, not hospital staff with whom they are unfamiliar. Additionally, the center's physicians, who are all on-staff at the hospital, operate a weekly clinic there for under-insured patients.
