Clinical Background
Dr. Benjamin Shekhtman is a board-certified Physiatrist and Interventional Pain specialist joining Metropolitan Accident & Injury Center as a core clinical provider. His training at the University of Toledo College of Medicine, combined with residency in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and fellowship-level interventional pain training, positions him at the intersection of functional rehabilitation and procedural pain care — the exact clinical profile required for the complex PI patient population MAIC serves.
Dr. Shekhtman's case experience is concentrated in lumbar and cervical radiculopathy, degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, and spinal stenosis — the precise injury patterns most commonly documented in motor vehicle accident cases. His interventional repertoire includes fluoroscopy-guided epidural steroid injections (interlaminar and transforaminal), medial branch blocks, radiofrequency ablation (RFA), trigger point injections, and selective nerve root blocks. He is also experienced in neurolytics and ASC-based perioperative pain protocols.
Beyond procedures, Dr. Shekhtman brings physiatry-level diagnostic acuity: structured electrodiagnostic interpretation, functional capacity assessment, and MTG-aligned documentation for WCB prior authorization workflows. His clinical approach integrates objective outcome tracking at every visit — goniometric ROM, validated functional scales, and causation narratives that are built to withstand deposition scrutiny.
