Spine Medicine & Surgery of Long Island is pleased to announce that Dr. Antigone Argyriou, Director of Interventional Pain Management, has been elected as a Delegate to the Suffolk County Medical Society (SCMS). A leading figure in Long Island pain management, Dr. Argyriou will represent local physicians in collaboration with the Medical Society of the State of New York (MSSNY)—contributing her voice to critical conversations on healthcare policy and reform.
This leadership role reflects her growing influence in both clinical medicine and physician advocacy. As an SCMS Delegate, Dr. Argyriou will support policy development that impacts medical professionals, patients, and healthcare delivery across New York State.
“In this role, I’ll have the opportunity to represent physicians across our region and actively contribute to shaping health policy and reform,” said Dr. Argyriou. “Our profession is evolving quickly, and physicians need to be at the table.”
In addition to her policy work, Dr. Argyriou remains dedicated to her clinical practice, where she leads Spine Medicine & Surgery of Long Island’s non-surgical pain management program. Her expertise in treating conditions such as sciatica, spinal arthritis, and nerve-related back pain is matched by a commitment to personalized, non-opioid care that restores function and improves quality of life.
“If you’ve ever felt frustrated by the system or overwhelmed by policy changes, this is your call to action. We need more physicians involved—not just as caregivers, but as changemakers,” she added.
Dr. Argyriou’s appointment as SCMS Delegate underscores her belief in bridging medical care with policy leadership. Her work ensures that the voices of practicing physicians are heard—and that patients benefit from smarter, more responsive healthcare systems.
We proudly congratulate Dr. Argyriou on this meaningful achievement and look forward to the continued impact she will make in the clinic and beyond.
