Patient Reviews
Aug 24, 2024
Dr. Mermelstein has been taking care of me for over 25 years. He is the surgeon that other doctors trust with their family members and their own health. He is so intelligent but so down to earth in the way he treats his patients and staff. I trust him 100% and he has never steered me wrong or let me down. He treated my back and neck pain conservatively for over 20 years because that is what I wanted. When I was finally ready to have surgery, he took the best care of me. His staff is a reflection of him: Intelligent, compassionate, highly skilled and leaders in their field. Thank you Long Island Spine Specialists for taking the best care of me every single time for all these years! I know I can count on all if you to work hard to be as cutting edge as any practice in NYC.
