the Best ever, he gave me back a full life. I suffered from every problem a spine could have. I could hardly walk, I could not drive my car or ride in a car for more than 20 Mins. without horrible pain. I saw 10 different back Dr.'s. As a golf nut, all told me I could never play golf again. Dr. Girardi told me with 9-12 months rehab., I would play again. Will a year after fusion, I play 18 holes of golf 3 times a week and my back has never felt better. Thank you Dr. Girardi, the best ever.

Words cannot express how grateful I am to have had Dr Girardi perform my lateral lumbar fusion in May. He gave me back my life!!!! I was diagnosed with spinal collapse, spondylolithesis and scoliosis. I lost a disc one year ago, a NJ surgeon did a discectomy but did not place anything between L-2-3. Over the next 7 months I developed debilitating pain. No one wanted to operate on me in NJ where I work as an RN. My faith in God lead me to find Dr Girardi. I will never be able to thank him enough!

Both Gerardi and his PA are two of the most difficult medical professionals to get an honest answer. Gerardi doesn't truly answer what when wrong and his PA is the nastiest I have ever tried to deal with. I had surgery a year ago and am in worst shape now than before the surgery.

Dr. Girardi is the best spine surgery in the city of New York. Patients travel from Europe to schedule their surgery with him. Not only is he the most skilled spine surgeon but he is an all around caring doctor and human being. It's all about the patient with him. He will go out of his way to make sure his patient gets the best care and treatment. If you think, otherwise, then you really don't know him. Excellent hands-on surgeon and really nice guy. His office staff is the best!!

Had a severe medical issue and tried to schedule an appointment. Secretary was not polite, but asked me to fill out documents for Dr. Girardi to review and they'll let me know when I could come in. Almost 2 months later I have yet to hear back. Seems like they're more concerned about who they can make money off of.

One of the best decisions I've ever made. Working at The Hospital for Special Surgery is a huge credential in and of itself so I did not really need to question his competency and experience. A lot of my decision for him to treat me was based on how well we connected when talking about my condition. He's a good listener and communicator, very likeable, very much in control and makes me feel safe. And going to his office is always comforting, at reception, Michelle, Kaleena, Ebony, Andrea. Etc.

Dr. Girardi is a rockstar. He had to do a very complicated procedure in which he had to not only fix my herniated c6, but also had to repair 5 neck disks that were impinging on my spinal chord, one so drastically that it almost cut it in half. He also had to pereform a fusion using bone from my hip. Tiny incision in my neck, tiny incision in my thigh, and out of the hospital in 2 days with no need for pain meds. Already working out on the elliptical (carefully).Need to be sliced & diced?He's it

I contacted office for a consult request. Told to send all my records and would get a call back to schedule an appointment. My email was never answered, even when asking just for confirmation of receipt of medical records. Numerous calls to office went unanswered again, asking for confirmation of receipt of records.
