Certified peripheral nerve & hand surgeon
When nerve pain, numbness, or muscle weakness disrupts your life, expert care matters. Dr. Oren Michaeli provides advanced surgical treatment for the most complex peripheral nerve conditions — addressing the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Chronic nerve pain, burning sensations, and weakness can affect every part of daily life, especially when other treatments have failed. Dr. Michaeli combines modern microsurgical technique with deep anatomical expertise to restore both function and comfort.
With more than 2,000 successful nerve surgeries and a 99% patient satisfaction rate, he is trusted by patients and physicians alike for the cases others consider too challenging.
Physicians throughout New York, New Jersey, and beyond regularly refer their most difficult nerve cases to Dr. Michaeli — confident in his skill, experience, and commitment to exceptional outcomes.
Recognized by the American Osteopathic Board of Orthopedic & General Surgery for proven, validated expertise.
Active member of the American Society for Peripheral Nerve — part of an elite community of specialists.
Referred the region's most complex nerve cases — including patients told no options remained.
Nearly every patient reports significant improvement in pain, function, and quality of life after treatment.
Whether you are facing chronic pain, compression neuropathy, amputation-related issues, or muscle weakness, specialized surgical treatment can help restore function and relieve suffering.
Chronic nerve pain can persist long after the original injury has healed. Dr. Michaeli specializes in surgical interventions that target the source of pain and numbness, providing relief when other treatments have failed.
Microsurgical repair reconnects cut or severely injured nerves, promoting regeneration and recovery of sensation and movement.
Surgical excision and nerve reconstruction eliminate the painful nerve growths that develop after injury, surgery, or amputation.
Treatment for chronic pudendal and pelvic nerve conditions that are often misdiagnosed, including pain that resists conventional care.
An innovative technique that redirects damaged nerves to nearby muscles, treating neuromas and reducing phantom limb pain.
A cutting-edge procedure wrapping severed nerves in muscle tissue to prevent painful neuromas and restore sensory feedback.
An advanced RPNI with dedicated blood supply, enhancing nerve regeneration and long-term outcomes for complex cases.
Nerve compression occurs when surrounding tissue places pressure on a nerve, causing pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness. Many compression neuropathies require surgical decompression for lasting relief.
Surgical release of the median nerve at the wrist restores normal nerve function and eliminates pain, numbness, and tingling.
Decompression or transposition of the ulnar nerve at the elbow resolves numbness, weakness, and radiating forearm pain.
Often misdiagnosed as tennis elbow — decompression relieves pain and weakness that standard treatments cannot.
Precise diagnosis and decompression resolve median nerve compression in the forearm that mimics carpal tunnel.
Surgical release of the sciatic nerve relieves buttock and leg pain that often mimics a herniated disc.
Decompression near the knee restores mobility and balance affected by foot drop and lower-leg numbness.
Many amputees struggle with persistent pain more debilitating than the original injury. Dr. Michaeli offers advanced surgical solutions designed specifically for post-amputation pain.
TMR and RPNI techniques address the neurological source of phantom sensations, significantly reducing or eliminating pain.
Surgical excision combined with nerve redirection provides lasting relief from painful neuromas at amputation sites.
Proven highly effective at preventing and treating post-amputation pain by giving severed nerves new muscle targets.
Wrapping nerve endings in muscle grafts promotes healthy regeneration while preventing painful neuroma formation.
Enhanced healing through improved blood supply — for challenging anatomy or previously failed procedures.
Reducing residual-limb pain so patients can comfortably use prosthetics and regain independence and function.
When nerves that control muscles are damaged, the resulting weakness can be devastating. Dr. Michaeli specializes in nerve reconstruction that can restore function even in severe cases.
Nerve transfers and reconstruction restore significant function after traumatic or birth-related arm paralysis.
Surgical decompression creates space for nerves and vessels compressed between the collarbone and first rib.
Nerve decompression or tendon transfer restores normal gait and reduces fall risk caused by peroneal nerve damage.
Nerve transfer options that may restore some upper-extremity function and independence for select patients.
Peripheral nerve procedures that enhance remaining function or address secondary nerve complications.
Surgical intervention reduces excessive muscle tone and involuntary contractions to improve mobility and comfort.
“When other surgeons say there are no remaining options, that is precisely when patients are referred to us.”
Dr. Michaeli is a fellowship-trained peripheral nerve surgeon whose expertise spans the full spectrum of nerve-related conditions. With specialized training in peripheral nerve surgery and board certification in hand surgery, he brings a rare combination of skill and knowledge to every patient.
As an active member of the American Society for Peripheral Nerve and the Peripheral Nerve Society, he stays at the forefront of the latest research and surgical techniques — ensuring his patients have access to the most advanced treatment options available.
What truly distinguishes Dr. Michaeli is his commitment to his patients. He understands that behind every diagnosis is a person whose life has been disrupted. He listens carefully, explains thoroughly, and builds treatment plans around each patient’s goals.
You don’t have to live with nerve pain, numbness, or weakness. With the right expertise, many conditions that seem hopeless can be successfully treated.
Dr. Michaeli and his team provide the expert evaluation and advanced surgical care you deserve — from your first consultation through recovery.
