Dr. Tindel saved the day for me. I was in the ER at NYU and called his office and he saw me right away. I was in unbelievable nerve pain across my neck, shoulders and right arm. He and his staff couldn’t have been any nicer or more helpful. They rearranged his surgical schedule to get me in immediately for a 3 level cervical fusion that probably saved my life. I had a huge disk fragment sitting on my spinal cord. Dr. Tindel did the surgery and came by every morning to check in on me. I woke up from surgery and was out of pai... read more

Dr. TIndel performed cervical spinal laminectomies and fusion on me. He was the most competent, nice, low key surgeon I've ever dealt with. He took time to explain, to listen, to do thorough exams and to treat me like a person. I can't say enough good things about him. He is trustworthy, knowledgeable, and interesting. The incisions/post op scars are almost invisible; function in my neck is fantastic.

Dr. Tindel was never rushed and gave me his full attention when I visited. My first visit he told me I didn't need surgery at all and helped with a non-surgical plan. Two years later the story was different. He performed surgery and from one day post-op I was in less pain and able to move more freely than I had for the months prior. He and his office continue to answer all my questions and make time when I ask for it.

I cannot thank enough Dr Tindel for my back surgery and extremely fast and smooth recovery. Dr Tindel was always there to address all of my concerns that on the day of the surgery I had 0 worries or issues. Special thanks to Annie for helping me with the whole organization of the surgery and the preop in extremely timely manner.

Dr. Tindel is a godsend - he saved my ability to move and use my right foot & leg. He and his office staff will make you feel seen and heard and they truly care for you and for your healing. Dr. Tindel spent a significant amount of time with me during my first visit and, by watching how I moved, was able to correctly identify the injury in my spine - something that a MRI and multiple other doctors were not able to do. He was so thorough and walked me through all of my options and the risks as at this point I was 6 weeks out ... read more

I have been a patient for 7 years and had 2 surgeries (neck and back). The neck was 7 years ago and was so successful that I was back to work in a few days and back on the basketball court in 3 months. I had back surgery 2 months ago which was very complicated but I am starting to feel better although I have much therapy to go. Dr. Tindel and his staff are very kind, knowledgeable and responsive to every need. Their care is unmatched in the industry

I've never left a review for anything in my life but I've always read hundreds of testimonies before choosing medical care providers. So I write this review in hopes to pay it forward to those like myself who need to hear a firsthand account. I came to Dr. Tindel by recommendation from both my doctor and family friend. Prior to seeing him, my MRI showed a severe herniation at L5/S1 and attempts at conservative care (PT, epidural, pain meds) did nothing to alleviate the extreme sciatic pain that was ruining my life. I arrived... read more

Just a fabulous doctor in every way. Bedside manners, patience withhis patients, and incredible surgery. Performed 3 spine/ disc major surgeries on me, and he has virtually saved my life, by not only completing those 3 with sucess, but he noticed a haze over my kidney, and said, to be safe, lets do another MRI,...that showed something encased in kidney, then Tindel immediately call and sent me nearby to his kidney reciommendated doctor, they decided to remove it rather thatdo a biopsy, because if a kidney HAS cancer and its ... read more

Dr. Tindel you ROCK!! Thank you for taking the time to treat and diagnose my long suffering back pain. Without you I’m not sure what would have happened. Dr. Tindel is humble, attentive, aware and most of all very caring.
