Dr,. Merkow performed ACDF to relieve cervical spinal compression for me. He was very thorough in explaining the results of the scans and answering my questions, He spent the time I needed get comfortable with a procedure I was pretty nervous about. He is a calm, reassuring, and most importantly, very competent neuro-surgeon. The results of my surgery have been wonderful. Many of my pre-surgery symptoms improved within days, and one month out, I notice continuing improvements on a daily basis.

Dr. Maxwell Merkow is a magician! I was diagnosed with lumbar stenosis and suffered severe back and leg pain for more than 10 months. Finally I was referred to Dr.. Merkow and he pinpointed the source of my pain was due to a Thoracic Myelopathy. It was so severe that I can be paralyzed from the waist down at any moment. Dr. Merkow scheduled and completed my operation in less than a week. He gave me the chance to have a quality life again. His office staff is efficient and professional.

Dr. Merkow came into the hospital on his Sabbath and did an urgent spinal surgery on my multi-handicapped son and was reassuring and attentive to me in describing how Dan's spine had split due to un detected fracture from 6 weeks prior. He was so concerned that it be done urgently because of potential damage to the spinal cord. He clearly offered me an alternative approach, but I just knew they weren't viable and too risky. Thanks be to God for surgeons who really care about their patients.
