We are beyond grateful for the care my husband received from Dr. Theodore Schwartz at Mount Sinai…read moreHospital. From the very beginning, he went above and beyond--personally ensuring my husband was transferred from a local hospital to Mount Sinai Hospital so he could receive the specialized treatment he urgently needed. Dr. Schwartz took the time to explain everything clearly and thoroughly, ensuring we fully understood what was happening at every step. His bedside manner was exceptional: calm, compassionate, and reassuring during one of the most frightening times in our lives. It was immediately clear that he is not only extremely knowledgeable but also truly top-notch in his field. What impressed us most was his expertise and quick thinking during surgery. He had the foresight to take a portion of the biopsy and have it frozen for a preliminary pathology determination. This saved us critical time, and in our case, time mattered--because the final diagnosis of Primary Brain Lymphoma required chemotherapy to begin as quickly as possible. Even after surgery, Dr. Schwartz continued to check in on us, which meant more than words can express. He treated my husband like a person, not just a case, and that kind of care is rare. If you are looking for a skilled, thorough, compassionate, and willing-to-fight-for-his-patients neurosurgeon, I cannot recommend Dr. Schwartz highly enough.

I already knew that Dr. Plancher was an exceptionally talented, careful, and comprehensive…read morediagnostician and surgeon because of his excellent work with several members of my family, some of whom had complex cases. (Those stories are worth another 5 stars -- even more if that were possible!) I had never had the need to see him myself until recently when I fell while hiking, landing on my knee. I treated the injury myself with ice and anti-inflammatories, but the healing was slow, and I became concerned that I had damaged it more than I knew. This was an issue because I was training for a 60-mile fundraising walk -- a walk I had been training for for 6 months -- and needed to know that participating in the walk wouldn't do additional damage. Time was of the essence -- I had only two weeks before the event -- so I called the office and asked if they could squeeze me in -- during a week with two holidays no less. They moved heaven and earth to get me in. Dr. Plancher and his team were thorough, spending a great deal of time with me. After an x-ray and MRI we discovered that I had bone contusions and could participate in the walk with a brace, anti-inflammatories as needed, and some common sense. The walk went really well, and my knee felt strong during and following. Thanks so much to Dr. Plancher and his entire team for helping me realize my goal and keep my knee safe at the same time.

My mother and I are both thrilled with Dr. Elowitz' expertise. My mother is 84 years old and had…read morebeen in severe pain for three years. Her back pain radiated into her left leg and she had great difficulty walking, sitting and lying down. Her lifestyle changed dramatically and she could no longer keep up in activities with my father. My mother tried the usual treatments ie. chiropractic, physical therapy, acupuncture and epidural injections however did not experience any lasting relief. A laminectomy was the only answer. I researched surgeons for my mother as I am a registered nurse. I found three top spine surgeons including Dr. Elowitz in NYC and we scheduled consult appointments with each. Dr. Elowitz was the only surgeon who was confident that a minimally invasive laminectomy was the way to go. The other surgeons wanted to cut up and rebuild my mother's spine (including performing a fusion) which was way over the top for an 84 year old woman. My mother and I did not feel that she would survive the recovery period for a fusion which is very involved. We chose Dr. Elowitz to perform my mother's surgery. Her care was top notch every step of the way. From admitting to preop to operating room to recovery room to the hospital floor where my mother stayed overnight (as did I), everyone we dealt with was professional, competent and ready to help. Dr. Elowitz even has hospital privileges to admit his patients to the 15th floor at Weill Cornell which is a post surgical floor with only private rooms and views of NYC and the river. We were very impressed. Dr. Elowitz spoke with us before the surgery, numerous times on the day of the surgery and checked on my mother at 7:00 AM the day after the surgery. He gave us as much time as we needed to answer all questions and told us to contact him at any time if we needed him. The surgery went well. My mother is presently 10 days postop and feels much better. She no longer has tingling down her leg. Dr. Elowitz says that my mother's nerve was damaged over the past three years and that she will continue to see improvement over the next few months as her nerve repairs itself. My parents have been going for walks all over the neighborhood since her second day postop! My mother could barely walk before the surgery from her bed to the bathroom. We absolutely made the right decision to go with Dr. Elowitz for surgery. He obviously is capable of performing a more intensive surgery (as the other surgeons we consulted suggested) but he took into consideration my mother's age and type of recovery that she would experience and performed the perfect surgery for her. I highly recommend Dr. Elowitz. He is a highly competent neurosurgeon who happens to have a wonderful bedside manner as well. Edward Butler, NP: My mother and I are very impressed with the competence, practical knowledge and professionalism of Ed Butler, who is Dr. Elowitz' NP (Nurse Practitioner). My mother is 84 years old and needed a laminectomy. I am a registered nurse and helped my mother chose Dr. Elowitz as her neurosurgeon. We spoke with Ed Butler who took a through history before we saw Dr. Elowitz. We also met with Ed at the two week postop visit before seeing Dr. Elowitz as well. Ed treated us with respect and responded to all of our many questions. Ed has worked in spine surgery for quite some time and has a wealth of experience to draw upon. My mother thought that she was having an allergic reaction two days postop and we called the office. We were put through immediately to Ed who considered my mother's symptoms and gave recommendations. Ed realized that my mother was experiencing throat tightness due to residual soreness from the breathing tube that had been inserted during surgery and was not having an allergic reaction. I had told my mother the same thing but she had to hear it from Ed, not me. A few days later, my mother called Ed with another question and he promptly called her back. All too often, it is very difficult to get in contact with medical personnel after surgery. The patient seems to be forgotten. That is not the case with Dr. Elowitz and Ed Butler. They make their patients very comfortable and assure them that they are always available for problems or questions.

Outside of the elevator, no one greeted back after trying to ask questions. Finally found a place. This place needs to renovate to attract more patients. I also waited bloodwork more than 30min and at the front was about to leave... :( luckily, I've made another appointment. If you're coming here for appointment 1st time, try to be there at least 15-20min earlier to find out your office. if you're coming in afternoon; after 3pm, they're running quite late: like I mentioned that bloodwork. Make sure to make next appointment while you're waiting, everyone leave 5pm sharp. waiting room is available on the first floor Inc vending machine. But I highly recommend to bring your it own snack if you can. In the neighborhood, it's hard to find something to grab unless you can go to 95-93rd street.

The call center has no idea what they are doing and book wrong appt on wrong dates. I come in for a mamo follow uo and the front desk badgers about insurance. After getting changed and ready to see the tech the tech says they scheduled you a month too early. We count from January and not December when your last appt was. Does not even make sense!! This happened to another persok as I was in the waiting room as well. Last week I had to wait over 1.5h to be seen for a pelvic ultrasound and their excuse oh the system had a glitch. You are seeing me wait!! Horrible and sich lack of service!! Oh front desk response to when I said I am changing hospital. Everyone is equally bad as Mt Sinai
