Pain Center of Morris

Three specialties on Morris Avenue

Pain Center of Morris is at 426 Morris Avenue in Elizabeth. Chiropractor Monica Gonzalez founded the practice in 1995 after graduating from the University of Bridgeport College of Chiropractic. Over time, the practice added physical therapy and acupuncture. It describes a bilingual English- and Spanish-speaking team and lists the office number as 908-469-4070.

The professionals and their roles

Gonzalez is the chiropractor and founder. The center identifies Karl G. Hao Cuenco as its physical therapist; he studied physical therapy in the Philippines and has experience in outpatient rehabilitation. Hyung W. Kim is the licensed acupuncturist. His training includes the Eastern School of Acupuncture and Traditional Medicine and the Swedish Institute. These are different professional roles, so a first visit can be directed toward the service a patient needs rather than assuming that all three form a single treatment.

The office describes chiropractic adjustments, rehabilitation exercises and acupuncture. Its physical therapy information includes recovery after surgery and other injuries. The center says the first visit generally takes 45 to 60 minutes and includes a health history, examination and discussion of recommendations. Imaging is described as dependent on need, not as an automatic requirement for everyone.

Language, payment and hours

The published office hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. The center lists Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Horizon and Medicare among examples, as well as automobile and workers' compensation cases. It also says it accepts cash and cards. The exact policy and benefits depend on the patient's coverage.

Public accounts mention a welcoming, organized office and a considerate team. The public listing represents a multidisciplinary center, so its overall rating includes experiences beyond chiropractic.
