I have been so impressed by the care I have received. I have been working on a few orthopedic issues over the last five months. Dr. Hussain has thoughtfully listened to my experience of my body and my impairment. He’s taken the time to reflect upon my symptoms as described and skillfully evaluated my functioning, while explaining why what hurts, hurts so that I’m better educated about my health. He has sought to reach the root of my pain and impairment and not just treat my symptoms. I feel so fortunate to have found him. I am also SO pleasantly surprised by the exceptional experience I have had of Summit Health. The staff at each of the three sites I have been to - from reception to clinical to housekeeping - has been outstanding. I’m also impressed with the modernity and cleanliness of the Summit offices. I very highly recommend Dr. Hussain and Summit Health.

I am going back in a week. This is my first time seeing this doctor. He was professional, concerned about my well-being & knowledgeable. He gave me treatment & referrals for other doctors to help me get to the source of my pain.

More about Dr. Munif Hussain, DO, MS
Munif Hussain, DO, MS, CAQSM is a member of Summit Health’s Orthopedics and Sports Medicine team. Dr. Hussain is a board-certified sports medicine physician who provides treatment for all sports medicine and musculoskeletal disorders in patients of all ages and athletic ability—from the elite athlete to the person exercising for his or her own personal wellness. This includes treatment for any joint pain from arthritis, overuse disorders, upper and low back strains, trauma/fracture care, concussions, other non-sports related shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, thigh, knee, foot, and ankle concerns.
Dr. Hussain offers the most advanced care and up-to-date treatments available and performs state-of-the-art injections. He is able to use dynamic musculoskeletal ultrasound to precisely guide the needle without the use of radiation. Dr. Hussain says, “I utilize any methods possible to avoid surgery for patients including the selective use of various healing agents such as prolotherapy/sclerotherapy, platelet rich plasma (PRP), regenerative stem cell derivatives, hyaluronic acid (HA) as well as corticosteroids as indicated. For optimal patient outcomes, Dr. Hussain prescribes customized comprehensive physical therapy and rehabilitative programs for his patients collaborating closely with a reliable team of physicians and other musculoskeletal specialists, physical therapists, and orthopedic surgeons.
Early and accurate diagnosis of musculoskeletal injuries or dysfunction is critically important to Dr. Hussain. “I truly enjoy helping folks get back on their feet rapidly and safely through proper diagnosis and the use of conservative, evidence-based management options when possible.” He adds, “As an osteopathic clinician, I look at the entire patient. Being able to educate, motivate, and improve a patient’s life, whether through treatment of an acute or chronic condition, is the ultimate reward.”
Dr. Hussain has a strong appreciation for primary care sports medicine and is published in several research studies. His latest publication, involving primary care, hypertension, and body mass index, appeared in the June 2019 edition of The Journal of the American Osteopathic Association. He has presented orthopedic clinical cases at the podium for the American Osteopathic Academy of Sports Medicine (AOASM) conference and remains an active member. He is also an active member of the American Medical Society of Sports Medicine (AMSSM) where he has completed advanced level musculoskeletal ultrasound courses. In 2017, Dr. Hussain was appointed Teaching Associate in the clinical department of Emergency Medicine/Sports Medicine at the Hofstra Northwell School of Medicine and taught musculoskeletal ultrasound of the upper and lower extremities. He has taught physicians at the medical student and resident level. He continues to stay involved in the alumni association at the Touro College of Osteopathic Medicine in New York, NY, his alma mater.
Dr. Hussain is inspired by exercise medicine, strengthening/conditioning and is passionate about the body/mind relationship and its role in inspiring athletes. He’s served as a sideline physician for ringside Olympic-style boxing with USA boxing, Muay Thai UFC Fight Nights, NYRR NYC Marathons, half marathons, 5k races, Tough Mudder events, and Ironman competitions. When not caring for patients or staying active through exhibition sports medicine coverage, Dr. Hussain enjoys traveling, team sports including football and soccer, running, and combat sports. He also plays bass and electric guitar.

Doctor spent a rushed five minutes with me to tell me there’s nothing he can do, and suggested me finding another specialist.

My initial appointment was very rushed. I had scheduled a follow up, waited for over hour because dr munif quadruple booked his appointments, but I eventually just had to cancel to go back to work. I got a call apologizing that appointments all take different times and suggesting to book on a day that I don’t have to work and could just wait. This makes no sense and I will not be returning.

The whole experience was smooth and insightful. I didn't wait long at all which was great. Dr. Hussain took time to patiently answer all my questions. The only thing I wish the office had told me to do was to come prepared with previous diagnoses/tests (like X-rays). At the last minute I was scrambling to get my X-ray emailed to me from a previous visit to a different doctor. But overall it was a good experience and I would go back to this doctor

December 30, 2022Taisha B.Verified patient
Dr. Hussain met me right away. There was absolutely no wait time. The x-rays were done and seen in real time. The doctor listened carefully to all of my symptoms, examined the movement in my hand, wrist and elbow, and treated it right away with an anti-inflammatory injection. I was prescribed OT and the doctor even helped me locate an OT practice near me. He communicated clearly and was extremely thorough and helpful.? He said if the pain was not relieved by the injection and OT, he would refer me to a neck specialist?. I would recommend this doctor and this practice. It was extremely pleasant, and the check-in process was seamless and easy. The injection helped immediately, and I am hoping the OT relieves the problem completely. ?

Dr. Hussain was excellent. He diagnosed me, and showed me where the problem was and talked to me about it. He had me talk to him as well about how, when why, and what I had done previously. Direct, professional, and made sure I understood. He talked to me about therapies, and was not pushy with medications or more invasive procedures. First time with this provider and I am very glad to have found an excellent doctor.

May 31, 2022Kimberly M.Verified patient
Great experience - Dr Hussain is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and dedicated to making sure you get better. He was informative, answered all my questions, and had specialized running knowledge which is exactly what I was looking for. The nurse/PA that came in beforehand was also fantastic - super high energy and very encouraging and kind. Overall, I had a great experience - the only thing I would have hoped for is a slightly shorter wait time, but it was still less than 30 min before I was seen.
