The level of care given by the staff was fantastic

I took my grandfather to Long Island Spine Specialists to treat nerve pain originating from his back. The level of care given by the staff was fantastic. Dr. Sanelli provided the best bedside manner to my grandfather that I have ever seen from any of his physicians. Highly recommended!

A good experience with no problems

Dr. Basra operated on my spine. I had a couple of bad bulging discs, he always was great at answering questions and always had a smile. This is great patient care and with an operation on my spine where a mistake can be terrible this has been a good experience with no problems!
