I waited 7 months looking for a Sports Medicine Specialist to work my shoulder tear and…read moreimpingement. Luckily I was told of a new Ortho in our CVHP organization named Dr. Jason Tam. After reading his bio. and recommendations from other colleagues, I made an appointment with him. Knowing that I'll be 45 yrs old, he did remind me about wear & tear, but understood that I'm still young at heart. I wasn't ready to give up my daily activities. We tried various steps of treatment since surgery was the last resort. My shoulder was bad and I was down to my last option. Surgery was set at Foothill Presbyterian Hospital and it went great! He gave my wife a call with an update since she wasn't able to be there. That was very thoughtful of Dr. Tam. He then gave me a follow-up call 2 days after to see how I was doing. 2 weeks later, I'm ready to start physical therapy. The coolest part is he did the best he can to not scar my tattoos!

Have you ever had one of those Humpy-Dumpty days where things fall apart, including your bones?…read more Well, I had one. Between the compound/open fracture and the other broken bones, my morning started off tragically wrong. Thankfully, Dr. Tam is more skilled than all the king's horses and all the king's men because he was able to put me back together again! Dr. Tam impressed me with his straight-forward "this is what I would do if it were me" approach. I like options, but he isn't afraid to tell you what the best option is. Before surgery, he put his hand on my shoulder and let told me, "You'll be alright." He assured me he would do his best. His tone and the warmth of a human touch comforted me. I was very impressed by his skill. This isn't his first rodeo and he is very familiar with the ins and outs of surgery. I'm pretty sure he gave me a Borg implant, take a look at the picture and tell me what you think! I hope I don't start saying, "Resistance is futile!" Nothing but praise for Dr. Tam and I highly recommend him. If you need his services then you're in a bad situation. Trust him and he will get you to recovery as fast as possible.

Two years ago, Dr. Stieber performed an artificial disc replacement (ADR) in my C5-C6, and…read morebasically gave me my life back. I had been living with increasing pain from a herniated disc that at one point was so bad I thought I'd never work again, let alone watch a movie in a theatre or sit in a plane long enough to take a real vacation. I was on disability from work a couple of times, and had gotten to the point where I thought I was just one of those people destined to take opiates and watch daytime TV for the rest of my life with bad gray roots coming in. At the time, the ADR surgery was pretty new, so we considered a fusion briefly, but I was concerned about loss of mobility. I am so glad I selected this surgery and this surgeon! Dr. Stieber is exceedingly competent but he's also NICE and he cares about his patients as people. For my surgery (performed at NYU), he brought in a fabulous anesthesia specialist who seriously listened to me regarding my tendency to become quiet nauseous with general anesthesia and doubled up on the anti-emetic as a result. I was back at work in just 10 DAYS after the surgery, an amazing feat in my opinion, as I am part of a Facebook group of people who had the same or similar issues and surgeries. I had one of the absolute best experiences of anyone in that group. In fact, my mobility after the surgery is better than it had been in years. I am just so impressed and grateful, and every time i bang my head at karaoke, I think how lucky I am to have had Dr. Stieber as my surgeon. THANK YOU! Also, his office team is great too!

I cannot comment on the skill of this Doctor at all but I can say...I submitted a request for a…read morevirtual consultation as described on his website. I sent a request from said website. I never heard back from anyone. I called today and was told he does not do these consultations anymore now that the covid restrictions have been lifted. Someone needs to change the website and stop the false advertising. I live in NJ and can bearly walk so a in person visit is out of the question. I am a senior and all alone so.....Who do you believe or trust these days....not sure our medical system is in a sad state of affairs.

Dr. Koutsoumbelis saved my life. I know that sounds a bit extra, but it's the truth. I had been…read moresuffering form a cervical nerve impingement for 6+ months and was working with another spine specialist group that made me feel that my pain and my herniation was commonplace and my reaction to it unwarranted. They played it down, and I began to think that the pain was all in my head and think that there was something wrong with me. I went to Dr. K feeling defeated and depressed, I had convinced myself that this was my new life and I would have to live the rest of my life in extreme pain. From the moment he walked through the door my mood began to change. As he reviewed my MRI Dr. Koutsoumbelis allowed me to unload my whole story...and he listened. He validated my pain and the emotions that came along with it. I felt heard and understood for the first time in 6 months. He proceeded to confirm that the injury I was suffering from and the pain it elicited was indeed valid. Dr. K then laid before me a surgical plan that he believed would fix my impingement and end this pain once and for all. He happily answered my questions and spoke to me like a human that mattered. We spoke about work and family and my goals following surgery. He never doubted my pain and expressed genuine compassion for what I had gone through. I knew within the first 5 minutes that Dr. Koutsoumbelis was going to save me, and although he said that he completely understood that I may want have other surgical consultations, I knew he was exactly who I wanted. Dr. Koutsoumbelis asked his surgical coordinator, Evelyn (sp) to work with me and try and schedule me as soon as possible, and she did! Her kindness and compassion was right on par with Dr. K and although the calendar was booked for nearly 3 months, she worked magic and managed to schedule me for surgery in less than 1 month. The road to surgery was a smooth one. The Massapequa office is a well oiled machine. Anytime I had a question or request for medication I would call and leave a message and someone would get back to me within the day. I office is busy, but I never waited more than 5 minutes to get into my appointment. They arranged everything for my surgery and gave me a clear schedule, never leaving me questioning what the next step would be. In my experience this is rare for a busy office, I felt looked after by a compassionate and competent staff. Dr. Koutsoumbelis performs his surgeries at the Mt. Sinai South Nassau hospital and from the moment I arrived I felt like a V.I.P. The nurses were absolutely incredible and attentive, they calmed by nerves and made me feel comfortable. One by one Dr. K's team came to visit me, introducing themselves and explaining the role they would play in my procedure. From the PA to the physiologist to the anesthesiologist, they were all total rock stars! Making me laugh and smile and most of all feel confident in what they were going to do. The surgery went off without a hitch and when I woke up the pain was gone...100% gone! I am blown away by the skill and comprehensive care Dr. K and his team were able to give me. The incision is tiny and Dr. K was thoughtful in it's placement. I have no worries that it will be hardly noticeable once completely healed. The post surgical care has been just as stellar as before the surgery. The office staff are kind and helpful, a wonderful group of humans. When I had a question regarding some of the post-surgical pain treatment Dr. K's PA called me and spent 20 minutes on the phone with me hashing out a plan. I continue to heal and feel more like my old self every day. I have been given my life back. I am now the mother, wife, daughter and employee that I am meant to be. I would encourage anyone that is currently in the kind of painful situation I was in to run, not walk, to Dr. Koutsombelis. He and his staff are an incredible team that go above and beyond to give you the highest level of treatment available.
