I had had MRI's( Feb. 2016) done of my Thoratic & Lumbar Spine due to long term discomfort in my back and a fall down some stairs at home just a few days after Prostate surgery (11/19/15). I knew i had issues with my L 5 , L4 & L3 Disc. L5 had a "slight" fracture & L4 & L3 were swollen. I'd have a higher rating for Dr. Sama if he had told me I the fracture found in my T-10 was "severe" and not a slight fracture-which is what I was told. Another Dr. found the "severe" description in a case report
Had laminectomy from Dr. Sama in April 2016. One week later had complications and had to be taken by ambulance and admitted to North Shore Hospital with terrible pain going down right leg. could not walk. Had an MRI and my wife took it to see Dr. Sama and all he was concerned about was that the operation was a success. He sat with my wife and son for about 10 minutes and then had to leave for another operation. Couldn't have cared less about my condition and had no answers.
Dr. Sama performed two procedures on me in 2015; cervical fusion and a lumbar laminectomy with L3 fusion. Bothe procedures were well done and have alleviated the chronic back pain which I had been experiencing for several years.
Awesome surgeon! Took the time to explain all of my options as a spondy patient with left foot drop. Even recommended other options than back surgery to help my foot drop issues. I couldn't thank him enough!
Dr. Sama is extremely kind and courteous and a very caring physician and surgeon. He reviewed my records thoroughly for a second opinion. I would highly recommend him.
HSS is not what it used to be. Avoid if you can. They have too many patients and not enough doctors. My back surgery did not turn out good and had to go elsewhere to fix the problem. His staff is for the birds, had to wait months for a appointment after surgery and all you do is get the runaround. Go elsewhere, you've been warned!
Andrew Sama is a personable and highly competent surgeon who treats patients with mutuality and respect. I felt that he partnered with me to fully understand my medical condition, review all available options, and to chart the right course for me. In the process he answered each of my many, many questions in depth and detail. A great surgeon at a great hospital. Highest recommendations for him and his top notch staff.
He is very personable. Excellent experience all around!
Fantastic appointment. Spent all the time I needed and answered every question.
