His residency training in Anesthesiology was completed at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center. He received advanced fellowship training in the field of Pain Medicine at the prestigious Multidisciplinary Pain Center of the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington.
Following his extensive training, Dr. Siegfried joined the staff of the Presbyterian Hospital and the faculty of the world-renowned College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University as an Assistant Professor and Assistant Director of the Pain Management Division in 1991.

Dr. Siegfried also collaborates with Dr. Louis Quartararo, a fellowship trained spine surgeon with special expertise in endoscopic spine surgery. For those who despite aggressive non-surgical treatment fail to improve, endoscopic techniques enable spine surgery to be performed in a minimally invasive fashion. Utilizing these techniques patients have less postoperative pain, shorter recovery times and better overall outcomes when compared to conventional approaches to spine surgery.
