I saw this doctor a few times. I went back because I give everyone the benefit of the doubt. What…read morea horrible experience on each visit. He kept telling me over and over "I'm the doctor. Don't tell me what your symptoms are." All he did was ask a few basic general questions and kept typing into his computer. He told me not to interrupt his typing. He insisted that I did not know how to describe my condition. He has 2 chairs facing his desk, but insists that you sit in a particular one so that he could watch you while he's typing. (So why have 2 chairs?) Every visit was more unpleasant than the one before. He speaks down to patients. His bedside manner leaves everything to be desired. If I could give him minus 10 stars (-10), I would. I was treated like an imbecile. He never suggested any definitive treatment and did not provide me with a differential diagnosis. He never gave me an inkling of what he thought I might be suffering from. He suggested that I get physical therapy from the PT facility that shares waiting room space with his office and warned me not to go anywhere else. (Turns out I have a vascular brain disease, not something that is treatable with Physical Therapy!) I later found out from other medical persons that he is (allegedly) part owner of that facility. What a shyster! As a medical professional, I would NEVER treat my patients the way this guy treated me.

Love the his staff at the front desk and I love the relationship with Dr. Rabinovici. You can tell…read morehe cares, he is knowledgeable and really wants to give you the best care and solution for your aliment. I would highly recommend.

In my experience and my opinion,, they are the most insensitive, inept, arrogant, irresponsible…read moreoffice that I have ever encountered in my life!!!ZERO STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! . It's THEIR OFFICE that doesn't get back to anyone. They think everything is a JOKE. !!! Since when is Brain health unimportant? There world is surrounded in a Hitchcock type and unwilling to correct their mistakes! It's warranted to report them to the AMA for appropriate action!! DONT GO THERE!!!

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.

Dr. Sonstein assured me that he "could fix" my back problem and debilitating sciatica from…read morespondololethis and a compressed exiting nerve root. 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.

A few days ago I had the unfortunate experience of having to be rushed to the emergency room at…read morethis hospital. I have nothing but praise for the emergency room staff of doctors and nurses. 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.

DO NOT go here for a severe emergency, and for woman DO NOT go here to have your baby. In 2019 I…read morewent here because I had an on going fever for 5 days. They sent me home saying it was. 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.
