Manuel Marquez

Manuel Marquez, FNP-BC, brings thirteen years of experience as a nurse practitioner specializing in pain management and preoperative evaluation, supported by five additional years of critical care experience as an ICU nurse. He completed both his undergraduate and graduate nursing education at Pace University in Pleasantville, New York, and is board certified through the American Nurses Credentialing Center. Manuel values the complexity and diversity of pain management, particularly the opportunity to tailor treatment plans that support patients in maintaining function, staying active in their daily lives, and achieving meaningful improvements in their quality of life. His approach is grounded in comprehensive assessment, thoughtful use of multiple therapeutic modalities, and a strong commitment to patient education and collaboration. Before his nursing career, Manuel served for twenty-three years in the United States Air Force as an Air Traffic Controller, an experience that shaped his discipline, attention to detail, and dedication to service. Outside of work, he enjoys swimming, biking, and restoring old cars; pursuits that reflect both his active lifestyle and his appreciation for hands-on, meticulous craftsmanship.
