This past Friday on December 22, I had another routine colonoscopy at Plainview Hospital…read more (previous one was in 2018 there too) From the moment that I walked through the door, I was treated so nicely, so professionally! Starting with Admitting Dept, the gentleman who helped me give needed info for his computer, was quick, accurate and soft spoken. He soon escorted me to the ambulatory area for the colonoscopy that took place about 1 hr later. (I apologize if I miss a few names!) Everyone on staff, there was extremely friendly, helpful, patient, and funny too! Lisa, Janice, Maureen, David, Dr Fleischman, my MD Dr. Sayedy, etc, could not have been more wonderful! Plainview Hospital proved to me that there are many people who really care about others "to the max," and they can be found at Plainview Hospital! Happy Holidays to ALL!! Sincerely, Amy Hochler (516) 459-1565

I tried calling to question a bill I received in the mail. Somebody answered the phone promptly,…read moresaid she would put me on a brief hold then she never came back on the phone. I waited 10-15 minutes and she never assisted me. This is a frequent problem in the medical field-one employee is forced to do both-answer phone calls and assist patients because the office is poorly managed and must not have the money to pay another employee to assist with patient calls. The employee did not seem to care I was on the phone for so long.

Love them here! The nurses and staff are amazingly friendly and helpful. This was my first time…read morevisiting there, and I must say they made my experience extremely easy and painless. Their doctors are amazing. You can tell from the very first visit that you have with them that they truly care about the patient and will take the time to provide care for the patient vs. just trying to get through as many as you can and compromising the quality time you have with the patient.

Island Spine and Sports in Hicksville is a solid medical office with great, real and caring Docs…read moreand staff. This great team is still functioning, welcoming, treating and helping patients get better during the current pandemic. 1) The appointment process was seamless, thorough and perfect. My mother was referred to Dr Richard Obedian, Orthopedic Surgeon here by our Chiropractor. They called her immediately, got her insurance info and made a 12:30 pm appointment. 2) They stressed and absolutely ensured our Covid related health status, symptoms etc and required us to wear masks. Loved that! The office was also set up with 2 big chairs in front of the desk to create that 6 feet plus space. 3) Got a great warm welcome. Did not wait long and Mom was taken in for x rays and then the exam room. 4) The entire staff from the front desk( Hailey, Robin and Maria) to the RN Lauren to Dylan the great PA were warm, really looked out for her and were on the ball. 5) Doc Obedian was fantastic as was Dr Daniel Feldman the Pain Mgmt Doc. The latter took his time with Mom going over her MRI and broke everything down in simple terms geared specifically towards her condition. He listened and made some great recommendations to assist with her path to recovery. The common thread - they really cared for her. 6) The communication via phone was great. Dylan and Lauren called back to check up on her and advised re the change in her prescriptions. 7) The office was sanitized all the time. 8) They were on the ball with ordering the MRI, calling in the prescriptions. My mother is doing better. I Thank God and and I really want to recognize this amazing office for truly taking care of and healing human beings with love, warmth and their superior expertise. I highly recommend Island Sports and Spine.

Except for the doctors' assistants, Lauren and Teresa, who are excellent and caring, my experience…read morewith Drs. Sonstein and Obedian was negative. My recovery after surgery has been much more difficult, painful, and prolonged than I was led to expect. If you've ever experienced nerve pain, you know how intense and unrelenting it can be, which made the lack of empathy and impersonal treatment by them that much more disappointing. Dr. Sonstein arrived at my hospital room the day after my surgery, to do his first and only post-op visit. In between talking to someone else on his cell phone, he quickly told us that he was very rushed--never a good thing when your job requires precision and care--and that he couldn't stay "more than a minute". He visually examined my incision (no more than a few seconds) and then quickly left the room (all while still on a phone call, obviously distracted). In the full year since my surgery, I have not heard from him, not even once, to ask about my recovery or if the pain meds were working. What a disappointing and shabby way to treat a patient. Clearly, my spinal surgery meant nothing more than a metric to him. Dr. Obedian was somewhat better, although he too was distracted on his cell phone during the first post-op hospital visit, and he too left the room quickly with no chance for a conversation. In my follow-up visits to his office it was clear to me that he was not familiar with my current pain management regime, and he and his PA twice prescribed pain and nerve medication that we had previously ruled out. I can't tell whether the surgery was successful. My lifestyle is still adversely impacted by pain (albeit, less pain than before) and limitations on my daily activities. Perhaps that improvement means that the surgery was as good as they had hoped for (or maybe even better), or perhaps it was substandard. I simply don't know.
