Annual Recertification
It is your responsibility to contact us to schedule
your annual recertification 3 months prior to certification expiration.
Annual recertification with New York Spine and
Wellness Center requires you be seen once in
our office before your renewal certification can
take place. We will schedule that visit to take place
about 6 months after your certification was issued.
It is expected that you will keep that appointment.
Recertification will not take place without that one
visit each year.

the State of New York website or call us today at
