Dr. Prisk's office is located in Monroeville, PA., roughly 20 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh. The office itself sits right off Mosside Blvd., just past Gateway High School. Free parking is available to our guests.
In addition to its accessible location, our office features state of the art, cutting edge technology like the latest to help you recover from your pain points in a better and faster manner. Our sitting rooms are designed to support non-surgical and surgical patients alike, ensuring that space is available for every patient - no matter what their treatment plan may be. Our X-ray system utilizes digital cesium technology to deliver the highest quality imaging with minimal radiation. Additionally, our new CT imaging machine, the LineUP, enables us to offer bilateral, weight-bearing CT imaging of the knees and lower extremities.
*Note that while initial and follow-up care can be provided in Monroeville, surgical procedures themselves are conducted in Allegheny Health Network and UPMC operating rooms.

Imaging Services We Offer
LineUP
Introducing our new CT imaging machine, the LineUP. With this advanced technology, we are now able to provide bilateral, weight-bearing CT imaging of the knees and lower extremities. The LineUP allows for precise and detailed images while patients are standing, offering a more accurate assessment of joint and bone health under natural weight-bearing conditions. This innovative approach enhances diagnosis and treatment planning, ensuring the highest level of care for our patients.
EPAT
Extra-corporeal pulsed-activated therapy (i.e. "EPAT" sound wave) is considered a safe, viable, and effective treatment option for any tendinopathy including Achilles, Tennis and Golfer’s Elbow, plantar fasciitis, jumper’s knee/patellar tendinitis, rotator cuff, hamstrings, and bicep/tricep. Furthermore it can be used for chronic pain of trigger points and scars. Achilles tendinopathy is a common overuse injury that, in the worst case, can cause a rupture of the Achilles tendon. Using EPAT treatments can ultimately facilitate healing and accelerate a patient’s recovery.
The cost for 3 visit (up to 15000 pulse) treatment series is $375*
All treatments require an initial evaluation with history and physical exam by Dr. Prisk**
*Insurance does not cover this therapy.
**Call 412-525-7692 to schedule and check insurance coverage for the evaluation.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound imaging uses sound waves to produce pictures of the inside of the body. Unlike x-rays, ultrasounds can assess the condition of organs and soft tissues. In cases where evaluating a patient's bones is not enough, ultrasounds can help doctors evaluate muscles, tendons, and more. As with other imaging technology, the information gathered from ultrasounds allows doctors to create better treatment programs.
X-Ray
X-ray imaging creates pictures of the inside of your body. The most familiar use of x-rays is checking for broken bones, although they can also reveal signs of arthritis, osteoporosis, and other medical issues. X-rays help doctors see what is happening within the body, and allow doctors to treat these bodily issues accordingly.
