Takes time to talk to you as a friend

Great experience with Dr. Frauwirth. Takes time to explain exactly what’s going on. Very friendly and attentive to your issues. Takes time to talk to you as a friend, just not another patient. Highly recommend him for any orthopedic and pain needs!

They treat you with respect

From staff to the doctors Long Island Spine Specialists are as professional as you can get. They treat you with respect! Others in the practice should emulate them. I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. DeWal and he is a true MVP doctor and a great human being. I’m so grateful. Thank you!

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!

-B.

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!
