It's THEIR OFFICE that doesn't get back to anyone. They think everything is a JOKE. !!! Since when is Brain health unimportant?

This office is always running severely behind. Even they know it. Instead of booking less…read moreappointments to alleviate the Doctor from constantly running behind they have a sign posed saying "The nature of our practice is to give our patients the utmost in care and service. PLEASE EXCUSE ANY DELAYS. We will give you the same careful attention as soon as possible." They clearly care more about money and maxing out appointments because they'd rather their patients wait OVER an hour in the waiting room passed their appointment time. They are aware of this issue and instead of finding a solution to remedy it, they posted this sign to warn patients that they will most likely have to wait way behind their appointment time to be seen as if their time means nothing. I will be going to a new Doctors office that actually cares about their patients time and not maximizing copays and schedules at the expense of their patients. Bring a book or a fully charged phone if you have an appointment here

He has the best bedside manner and is extremely knowledgeable about even my rare condition, I also have to add he was extremely kind and gentle with my service dog as well which always wins points for me!! November of 2024 I saw Dr. Imani, he also was absolutely amazing!! He's got an awesome bedside manner, is also extremely knowledgeable even about my rare condition, he was extremely nice to my service dog as well. I love and trust NSPC so much that I have even referred both of my parents there for different spinal/nerve conditions.

I had MRI's, nerve and muscle conduction tests and a myelogram (painful and risky). He promised to be at the hospital every day to follow up. He left for Paris and left me, afraid and in agony. A NURSE ASKED ME HOW I WAS! When I told her I was in terrible pain, she asked me WHAT I WANTED! I was freaking out that I was being made responsible for my pain relief. I didn't know what to do. I just knew dilaudid was used and was so stressed that I didn't know what was the best solution. I guess I should have said a morphine drip. I had to suffer unimaginable pain with only 12 hour INJECTIONS of dilaudid. 3 months later, I was still in agony and had sciatica. Another MRI showed the compressed nerve had gotten worse. He said he " NEVER SAW IT". No one acknowledged the mistake.(lawsuit paranoia).I couldn't function. YEARS have passed, epidurals don't work and OPIOIDS are not to be had. Medical marijuana in NY is limited and more expensive than most other states. It seemsdoctors here seem to be limited in time, compassion, integrity, and effective solutions. Interestingly, doctors have told me how cervical fusion would fix my totally messed up neck (which I know all too well) but after my failed surgery I'm terrified. Not being famous or wealthy effects your treatment and outcome, as does your insurance. It's getting worse, as are my neurological related issues. I understand the anxiety, depression, and desperation of pain and inability to function and live life.

I'm sorry I was in so much pain that I don't recall names but to the woman at the desk who whisked me in to the E.R. staff I want to say thank you so very much! Now to the nurses on the 2nd floor G Wing I believe I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Sorry if I kept you busy changing 50 bags of fluid that kept my catheter flowing. You nurses are truly dedicated, hard working and go above and beyond. Special shout out to the ones whose names I can remember and those I don't . Amanda, Litzy, Brandon, Maria, Brianna and Tom the RN that was called in when I had an episode. You guys rock. Again thank you all that took care of me when I ended up at Mt. Sinai.

UTI (although I never had any symptoms of a UTI) and 3 days later I went to Winthrop Mineola and they found that I had an ongoing perforation in my colon and the follow day my body started going into shock. They almost killed me. In 2022 I went here to give birth to my daughter (only because my doctor was affiliated here) and they left me out in the hallway for 3 hours SCREAMING at the top of my lungs in labor. It wasn't until they finally gave me a room and checked that I had gone from 3cm-7cm in 1 hour. I started throwing up all over the floor and hall way and they never even offered my a wheelchair until the very end. My experience here was absolutely terrible. When my daughter was born they didn't even bring her to me for over 10 mins for our first touch. I hate this place and I'll never ever step foot here or recommend anyone to go here. They even misspelled my daughter's first name and I've had years of headaches trying to change it on all her records. Save yourself and do go here or have your baby here.

I was referred to Dr. Gaudin because of an extruded disk at L4-L5 that left me in unbearable pain and unable to walk unassisted. Despite my anxiety about surgery, Dr. Gaudin's genuine concern and overwhelming knowledge of his field gave me confidence. Dr. Gaudin has a good reputation for taking the time to sit down with his patients, ensuring we feel heard and supported. His dedication, both during and after office hours, kept me well-informed and prepared. His approach was conservative; he didn't "force" surgery, didn't make any false promises and he suggested physical therapy and/or pain management as options. I ended up having a minimally invasive OLIF procedure and, thankfully, today, I am walking normally and pain-free. I am forever grateful for Dr. Gaudin's next-level expertise and remarkable surgical skills. Highly recommended!

Thank you again Dr. Houten for giving me my active life back i am smiling again. :)
