Upstate Pain Clinic
Upstate Pain Clinic strives to be the premier pain management clinic in Upstate New York, providing a variety of treatments to help their patients improve their quality of life. Based in Pittsford, New York, Upstate Pain Clinic is committed to listening to each of their patients and finding the best method that suits their needs.

Dr. Vilensky received his medical training from the S.M. Kirov Military Medical Academy in St. Petersburg, Russia and served his residencies in Iowa and New York, specializing in pain management and anesthesiology. While serving as a field medic in the Russian military, he sustained a back injury from a helicopter crash and required spinal surgery. This intimate experience with pain inspired his professional pursuit of pain management and added a deeper understanding of each patient’s suffering. After opening his practice, Upstate Pain Clinic, he discovered medical cannabis and the widespread benefits it carried for pain treatment in particular. Committed to healing his patients in any way he can, he began performing medical marijuana evaluations to allow patients access to natural medication that helps them.

Upstate Pain Clinic specializes in many treatments under the umbrella of pain management, ranging from traditional pharmaceuticals to alternative methods. Dr. Vilenski and his team are committed to truly listening to each patient’s symptoms and needs, working with them to determine the best course of action to reclaim their health. They are compassionate, understanding, and very knowledgeable in different pain management methodologies, able to combine different treatments to achieve the best possible results.

Upstate Pain Clinic accepts insurance for many of their pain services but at this time does not accept insurance for medical marijuana evaluations. They do their best to work with each patient to get them the treatment they need. Dr. Vilenski makes it a priority to follow up with his patients on a case by case basis, and appointments are scheduled in advance over the phone.
