I sought treatment at Neurosurgery and Spine Associates in February 2014 from Dr. Ryan Glasser for…read morea herniated disc of the lumbar spine. As conservative treatment options had failed, I went to them for a surgical consultation. Based upon that consultation, I chose to undergo a microdiscectomy performed by Dr. Glasser at his practice's outpatient surgical center. The difference between my pain level before surgery and after was truly astonishing; I wish I hadn't waited so long to undergo the procedure! Why 4 stars? Here are the Pros & Cons I experienced with this practice that lead to my rating: Cons: - Difficulty getting an initial appointment: all the surgeons in the practice seem to be booking out at least two months in advance; it's largely due to their great reputation, but waiting in pain for an appointment can be challenging. - Parking situation: this may seem small, but when you've got a problem with your spine & you spend 45 minutes circling the parking lot to find a space, only to get attitude from the front desk clerks when you arrive "late," it's frustrating. When they tell you they may have to reschedule you because of it, it's downright maddening. - Communication: Specifically, my referring provider was transferred to several different people when attempting to relay crucial clinical information regarding my case. It then became clear that whomever took my initial message had not listened to what I was saying. It's a big practice, so I suppose communication issues are inevitable, but be aware of this in advance so that you can check to make sure you were understood. Pros: - Availability of minimally invasive surgical procedures; a surgeon (Dr. Glasser) who was attentive, knowledgeable, forthright, and payed attention to details, like infection control, at a level that was important for this type of surgery. - Incredible staff at the surgical center. Truly some of the best, most considerate and compassionate nurses I have ever encountered. They really went out of their way to make me as comfortable as possible, despite having multiple patients to whom they needed to attend. - The fact that the practice has its own surgical facility near its office makes for easier scheduling of one's procedure, simpler billing/insurance results, and likely faster time to the OR. (They do also operate at two local hospitals, when necessary.) I found that the Pros largely outweighed the Cons and I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of neurosurgical services.

I have had three treatments by Dr. Glasser, each resulting in significant physical improvements…read more The first surgery was in 2006, the second due to a spinal injury in 2022, and the last for spinal surgery in 2024. Their medical staff and their administrative staff have all been very caring and professional. Given the difficult environment of healthcare services, it is a pleasure to work with this five-star organization. Robert Polimeni

I'm not "wowed" by this guy. I saw him twice. The first time, I was alone and couldn't put my…read morefinger on it, but I got a weird vibe from him. Talking to friends later who are familiar with local doctors, it was mentioned that he is not known to see patients but is known more for courtroom testimony. This kind of made sense when I mistakenly went in the office next door (which happens to be a similar practice). That waiting room is expansive. I immediately knew I was in the wrong place and went next door to Kassicieh, whose waiting room is very small. On a subsequent visit, I brought my wife so that I'd get a different perspective on this doctor. She didn't like him either, and thought that he was possibly dismissive...and she's not the kind to sugarcoat anything so I accept her take on face value! The office staff is very dismissive and can be unprofessional. The little dog in the office was puzzling, to say the least. The dog is his pet, but why are you bringing your pet to work??? I almost stepped on it lol. One of the only good things I can say about him is that he read my test results correctly. Gold star for him! I was referred by my GP to go here. I wish I had read the Google reviews on this guy - at least I would have had a heads up on what was to come.

This was the most disturbingly, useless experience I have experienced with a doctor. First off...he…read morenever turned the lights on in the office. He mumbled to himself under his breath as I asked questions about my physical condition after suffering a cracked skull due to an attack/robbery. I am now deaf in one ear and suffering from vertigo,as well as, no sense of taste or smell. He spent each visit across the room from me,knowing I couldn't hear anything he was mumbling. After telling him that the pills he prescribed were not working he did nothing but tell me to take more. They were useless, no matter how many were taken. After seeing him 4 times ,he said I was fully healed. HE IS A LIAR! NOTHING ABOUT MY CONDITION CHANGED. I AM STILL DAMAGED. SAVE YOURSELF TIME AND SPARE YOURSELF ANXIETY AND STRESS...GO TO A REAL NEUROLOGIST THAT CARES!

Dr. Ricardo Gonzalez is an exceptional neurologist. He is extremely knowledgeable, thorough,…read morecaring, and genuinely invested in his patients' well-being. What impressed me most is how carefully he listens, answers questions, and explains complex neurological issues in a clear, understandable way. He also encourages patients to be active participants in their care.

Dear Doctor Gonzales, During the past 11-12 months, I/we…read morehave felt frustration and deep concern for my husband, due to the treatment we received from you and Kaitlin Fifarek, APRN. 1. We came back to see you in January of 2023. (You said to come in if we had any concerns or noticed changes.) I had a list of changes, a. He thought we were in New York. We have not visited New York for years and have not lived there since 1967. b He was unable to manage his I phone. c He could not balance the bank statement, which he had done for many years for his clients and family. d He had difficulty maneuvering the computer from one program to another. You said, "It is just old age"! In other words, what the wife lives with and sees every day, is not valid or worth considering. It is ridiculous for you to assume the spouse' s report means nothing. In our case I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have often collaborated with patients and families dealing with dementia. The court has paid me to administer Mental Status Exams to dementia patients to assess the need for Guardianships. Your disregard for my report caused Mr. Schimmel to suffer needlessly for two more years with symptoms of worsening dementia. 2. Before you dismissed us, we requested a referral for Neuro/Psychological testing. 3. Thomas J. Longo, Psy.D, M.S. stated that Mr. Schimmel's testing showed many deficits in cognitive functioning. Testing also suggested his driving skills could be impaired. 4. In June, we had an appointment with Kaitlin Fifarek to go over the Neuro/Psychologicak exam. Prior to our arrival, she had not reviewed the report. Once she had located the report from Dr. Longo, she took only a moment or two to peruse it. She then said, "It is just old age!" We were surprised, since this was not what Dr. Longo had said. (At that point, we did not have a copy of Dr. Longo's report). 5. When we expressed concern, she asked us what we wanted to do. She offered no options, even though Dr. Longo had numerous recommendations. (We requested a Brain Scan, which she ordered.) 6. We returned to see Kaitlin Fifarek in August to discuss the results of the brain scan. She said there was nothing evident in that report. We later learned that the scan report suggested NPHC (Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus). It is our understanding that she could have discussed looking into the possibility of further testing ( a lumbar puncture) and discussion of NPHC. 7. I had a copy of the psychological exam with me. I had highlighted the recommendations and the Clinical Impression Dr Longo had found concerning. Kaitlin responded with "What do you want to do now"? She offered medication. We are concerned with the side effects of available medications, so declined that offer. We have wondered what she might have suggested, or what referrals she might have made, based om Dr. Longo's report? We did not receive good medical care when she did not suggest pursuing the diagnosis of NPHC. She and you just settled for "old age." 8. When Mr. Schimmel went to see his new primary care physician in December2023, Dr. Fineman told us he saw signs of NPHC. He educated us on the condition and asked if we wanted to be referred to a Neurologist. We followed through with that referral. In April, Mr. Schimmel had a lumbar puncture. Unfortunately, the results of the before and after psychological examination and the evaluation of the P.T. were inconclusive. As his symptoms became worse, we pursued the option of a shunt. 9. The shunt surgery was about two months ago. His cognitive abilities and walking improve daily. We are concerned that your office wrote Mr. Schimmel off with "It is just old age"! We were not aware of that being a medical diagnosis. I had told you that his dementia was "different." I had told you of some of the changes in his memory and bhavior. It seems weird to me that a physician takes a few minutes in the office as the picture of the patient and ignores what the family describes. I cannot even end this note with a "thank you". I will send a copy to the central office of Intercoastal and to the medical society. I hope you begin to care more about your patients, and listen to family members. Sincerely, Brenda H Schimmel, LCSW
