"Dr. de Lotbiniere, eleven years ago at this very moment you were in the midst of performing an MVD for Trigeminal Neuralgia on me after over two years of intractable nerve pain almost without remission. You and your team quite literally saved my life and my quality of life. Now eleven years later, I remain completely pain and symptom-free. I know how very blessed and fortunate I am to have this outcome and my profound gratitude for your skill, confidence, and advice to seek the MVD instead of other interventions is eternal.:

“Dr. Abrahams did a fantastic job with my brain surgery in 2013, and the staff was warm and efficient. I always felt comfortable and confident that I was in good hands, and they were wonderful in handling the financial arrangements. I am 72 years old, almost 73, and live a full and active life that includes work, volunteer services, sports, playing with my grandchildren, travel, and more. My family and I will always be grateful to Dr. Abrahams and Brain & Spine Surgeons-NY for the excellent treatment they provided me.”

“My experience at the Brain and Spine Surgeons of New York was exceptional. Dr. Abrahams was attentive took his time w/any questions I had. I can honestly say that I was pain-free the next day. Lisa was another great professional at this facility. She made all of the admin issues and scheduling of appointments a snap. If I ever have another injury to my spine, they will be my first call.”

“I was a patient of this practice in 2011 - 2013. The staff is extremely helpful and compassionate. Drs. Stern and Neubardt are wonderful. They took all the time I needed to answer any questions and concerns. My neck surgery was a COMPLETE success! I am feeling better than ever even a few years post-operative. I am so grateful to have my active lifestyle back. Many people told me that after neck surgery you are never the same. I have to say with my experience here this is correct but actually BETTER THAN BEFORE! I highly recommend this practice if you have any damage to your spine. You will be in great hands - literally!”

“I have been a patient of Doctor Kent Duffy's since 1995 and if it wasn't for him and the 3 lumbar surgeries he performed on me, since 2004, I wouldn't be able to walk now. When I had my first lumbar surgery with Dr. Duffy he actually monitored my aftercare to the point where he had me come into his office on the weekend...what physician would do that? Dr. Duffy is an extremely knowledgeable and totally caring physician and I would recommend him to anyone.”

“The highly skilled surgeons here are not only compassionate but literally life-savers and miracle-workers. I have had several spine surgeries with this group and my husband has had 2 brain surgeries and a gamma knife procedure. We owe the quality of our life to them. We're forever grateful for their skills and the caring supportive staff of BSSNY.”

“The staff was just wonderful and treated us with kindness and care. Dr. De Lotbiniere is just amazing. Kind and easy to speak with and an excellent surgeon. So happy that we found him!”

- Susan S

“What a wonderful practice! Dr. Hillard is an extremely professional, knowledgeable and compassionate doctor who took a great deal of time to review my test results, answer my questions and share her recommendations. It is so rare today to find a doctor who not only spends time with you, but also cares about how you are feeling. The office staff is also friendly, responsive and efficient. Highly recommend!!”

“Excellent surgeon. Have referred patients to him. Great bedside manner and really cares about his patients. Spent a lot of time with me to discuss my spinal fusion. Before surgery I could barely walk, now I am able to do pretty much everything I can do. Especially the gym.”

- Andrew C

“The doctor was thorough and answered all my questions. He made me feel like he had no other patients waiting and used language that I could understand. He addressed every concern I had and offered me options; actually told me I could put off a surgery for a couple of years if I chose to. His staff was equally amazing, going through all the insurance information and working out a payment plan with me. When I called into the office with a question/concern, they responded quickly and I never felt rushed or short changed. During the procedure he was on time, double checked all my information and made sure I knew exactly what to expect. The procedure was a success and I recommended him to my friend who also had a great experience.”

- Leeann C

“I do not know where to begin. You are dealing with the absolute highest level of competence, patient relationship, accessibility, complete dedication to their craft, but most of all, above all else, even 15 years after my lower fusion, an occasional visit is needed - and they always remember everything about my story, just like I do. These are the kindest men, the most authentic I have encountered in my life in professional circles. Their staff matches that as well. I have referred countless people to them, and the results are always the same. They are the playbook that all the others try to emulate. Just go see them, and you will start to feel better.”
