Biography
Dr. Roy Lerman completed his undergraduate training at the University of Pennsylvania. He graduated from Temple University School of Medicine in 1983 and completed his Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation residency at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California in 1986. After residency, Dr. Lerman entered private practice in Northern California where he specialized in musculoskeletal medicine treating sports and spinal injuries.
In 1991, Dr. Lerman returned to the Philadelphia area to develop a spine medicine program at the Penn Diagnostic Center. In 1993, he founded the Main Line Spine practice. Dr. Lerman has had specialty training in the performance of diagnostic, therapeutic and regenerative injections in the spine and peripheral joints. He is board certified in Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and Pain Medicine.
