Did my first spine surgery…ok for 5 years. Went back to him and he said I “wasn’t a candidate for spine surgery “ Sent me to Pain management Dr who after 3 unsuccessful epidurals said he wanted to put some kind of electric device in my back to stop the pain signals. At this point I decided to get a second opinion. Went to HSS in Uniondale….Spine doctor there told me it Could be fixed….Had surgery at HSS in NYC and have been good ever since. That was over 10 years ago

They are rude, heartless, impatient and incompetent. You would think that they are doing you a favor by even answering the phone let alone asking for a task to be completed because obviously the PATIENT can’t write reports or get approvals and such. They seem to not realize that the patient is at the mercy of the staff to be helpful and competent in dealing with this unpl... read more

I recently had a family member who had an unfortunate experience with this doctor in an ambulatory setting(of which i was present). His bedside manner was awful, and he acted very unprofessionally throughout the entire process. He lacked both empathy and compassion, making an already stressful situation even worse. Additionally, Dr. S needs to be more knowledgeable about disabilities and should not use those disabilities to make inappropriate decisions regarding someone else’s health or treatment. I would not recommend this ... read more
