I saw Dr Citow due to a disk issue in my neck. This year my stenosis flared up and was pinching a nerve so badly i lost feeling in my arm and couldn’t sleep at night. I was a little nervous to say the least, but Dr Citow has a confidence about him that made me believe he could fix it. Everyone I have worked with was amazing and I can’t thank Dr Citow and staff enough for helping me fix a problem I’ve had for over 20 years! THANK YOU!!

Dr. Citow worked on my lower back a few weeks ago. I was walking immediately after the surgery and my right leg now works normally. What a relief! Dr. Citow also did a fusion on my neck twelve years ago. I feel very fortunate that Dr. Citow has been there to help me. His staff is excellent as well.

I have had back issues for 30+ years, including 2 previous surgeries, one of which left me with a drop foot. Dr. Citow performed my 3rd surgery, lumbar spinal fusion. The surgery was totally successful. I have NEVER felt this good post surgery. I was out of the hospital in 2 days, and I walked 3/4 of a mile 5 days after surgery. My recovery was extremely easy. My pain levels, due to the surgery, were very low. In two weeks I was pretty much living my normal life. Today, 90 days post surg

Dr.Citow was very informative about the process of all that would be going on. I felt very positive going into surgery and that the out come would go well. I am happy to say that is just what happened. I have been happy with all the education I got in the Spine Class.

I was referred to Dr. Citow by a fellow golfer, and then by 3 other friends and relatives who were not golfers. This is as simple as I can say it: if you need surgery DO NOT go elsewhere unless you can't wait to get on his surgery schedule. I've since sent a minimum of 9 friends to him and every single one has had the same result as did I.

Dr. Citow did laser back surgery and was outpatient. I felt fine and was able to take care of myself regarding the stairs, bathing, etc. I would recommend him to everyone.

I had seen three other doctor's over three years (therapy, pain management, spinal injections) that did absolutely nothing. I saw Dr. Citow and he performed a hemilaminectomy on my spine and let me tell you that I am back to 100%. NO PAIN. Stop the doctor merry-go-round and do yourself a favor. See Dr. Citow.

He is a Miracle Doctor and the Greatest Doctor. I was in such excruciating pain for about two to three months could not stand or sit just lay in bed. I am also a competitive tennis player and I am up in age but I still have several years to play great tennis a made it happen. He did everything he said he would do and in the time of surgery he said. What was amazing he said I may have pain in the back of the leg for about two weeks but I had hardly any pain and for only not even a week.
