Dr. Wildstein was highly recommended to me by pain doctor (chiropractor). I have been very impressed with him thus far. He is very knowledgeable, conservative in his treatment, easy to understand and listens well. I have seen him 3 times in the last couple of months. I was having pretty bad sciatica in my lower back, buttocks and legs. I got an mri and he pinpointed the source of my pain (severely herniated disc at L4/L5) and explained the issue in terms I could easily understand. He recommended a cortisone injection to star... read more

Dr Wildstein is an excellent surgeon I had stenosis and a cyst pressing on my spine and couldn’t even stand up straight. I’m like a new woman given back my life! So thankful I found him

Dr. Wildstein has been my back pain doctor for several years. He initially recommended exercises for my lumbar stenosis which were quite helpful.This year I developed a cyst between two vertebrae that caused extreme pain and prevented me from standing or walking upright. An MRI revealed the cyst and the doctor gave me an injection which relieved the pain for several weeks. The options were: periodic injections or surgery. After doing my own info search, I decided on the surgery.Dr. Wildstein has been using'minimally invasive... read more

Dr Wildstein and I have been working on non surgical solutions for two years and exhausted all that we could and I said lets do the surgery. I wish I had done it sooner. 3 weeks after surgery and I am doing great WITHOUT any numbness or shooting pains in my legs and back and I am standing straight up. Best Decision in my life. It has returned my energy level and would recommend Dr Wildstein to anyone who needs to get back into the game of life.

Dr. Wildstein operated on my hip after an accident which broke my femur. I have been very pleased with the results. When it became evident about two years later that I required cervical spine surgery due to spondylosis, etc., I did not hesitate to seek out treatment with Dr. Wildstein. I feel that my great successes are due to his excellent surgical skills. I also really appreciate the fact that he sees all of his patients himself. I always felt confident that I was receiving the best care possible.

I haven’t felt this good in more than five years! Yes, COVID turned all of us into couch potatoes, but I already had two arthritic knees on top of that. After having knees replaced, I had less than stellar recovery in my right leg/knee that just didn’t seem to be the knee, but something else. So I sought the services of Dr. Wildstein. To my surprise, during my initial consultation, it was clear that he had already reviewed my surgical history thoroughly. This is rare! Dr. Wildstein listened, and I felt I had his attention fo... read more

Had 3 lumbar surgeries in my 20's. 32 years later, I was diagnosed with severe stenosis and grade 1 spondylolisthesis (bones misaligned). Both legs would go to sleep when walking. Dr. Wildstein recommended laminectomy with a lesser used instrumentation and fusion so it would be less invasive. The surgery went great with immediate relief. However, because of the severe pinching of my spinal cord, Dr. Wildstein had necessarily nicked the dural sac. He knew what to do - he put a stitch in it. All seemed well, but during the fir... read more

I have had back pain for years. After seeing several spine surgeons, I booked another opinion with Dr. Wildstein. He was amazing! One previous surgeon gave me 11 minutes of his time--Dr. Wildstein gave me an hour, and then proceeded to find the exact source of my pain. No one else did that. He explained things clearly and has a great bedside mannner. My spinal fusion was one month ago and I am pain free. I only took pain meds for 4 days! I highly recommend him!

In late December, I had emergency surgery for a partial hip replacement after a fall; He was the on-call surgeon at Roper Hospital. Although his specialty is spinal issues, this doctor is simply a great orthopedic surgeon. I'm just under three months after surgery and have recovered probably 90% of my mobility with very few issues. He's professional, very caring and gives confidence to his patients for a full recovery. I'd recommend him to anyone that wants to get well quickly.
