Post Review Update: In response to Long Island Spine Specialists reply to my post it does not surprise me that they are unable to find me in their schedules considering how my visit went. I was sent a text from them over five times reminding me of my appointment.

I have since gone to another Orthopedic Surgeon that is able to keep their appointments.

I had an appointment to see Dr. Brasa, which had been scheduled two weeks in advance for 2:30 p.m. I received four or five text messages reminding me of my appointment date and time.

Today, I show up for my appointment, and the front desk tells me my appointment was at 10:00 a.m. I show the front desk my five text messages from their office confirming the 2:30pm scheduled time.

There was no explanation given other than to tell me that the Doctor left for the day and there was nothing they could do.

And the real kicker is after I got home I received a text that my appointment for today was rescheduled for 10:00am. Five hours after 10:00am.

I canceled all my appointments with Long Island Spine Specialists and will go somewhere else.

Dr. Dowling III was very professional and took the time to explain my condition and our next steps.

The entire staff was also quite nice and took their time reviewing my chart and conditions to verify that everything was correct and up to date.

This facility is the BEST. Not just the medical care and professionalism, but also the respect, the indulge everyone shows and gives.,The doctors and staff do their best to assure the patient feels comfortable. What strikes me the most is that when I speak to Dr Iannotti or Yasin, it’s like conversing with an old friend. I am heartbroken to have lost Dr Yasin, as he moved to Texas. He will be dearly missed. I wish him and his family the best.,No one can take his place🥲❤️

My husband & I have been seeing Dr. Mermolstein for about 2 years. And now I am seeing Dr. Abbasi! Both these physicians are amazing. They are extremely thorough with their examinations, professional, caring and have great bedside manners! We have great conversations with both of them. They make both of us feel very comfortable and their treatment plans are always healing. We are always aware that they truly care about our well being.
Additionally their staff is wonderful. At the front desk or on the phone, Lauren, Meredith and Sue are cheerful, kind and efficient. In emergencies they always fit us in. Roseanne, Tom, Kendra, Jesssica and all the staff we have ever encountered have been exceptional.
After my last visit with Dr Abbasi he left the room, and as we were leaving my husband passed out. I went into the hallway and yelled for help. Alex (NP), Grace, Lucia & Raul came to our rescue. They were like angels sent by God. They took wonderful care of my husband, and were so efficient and gave us some wonderful suggestions. Alex told me what to tell my husband's cardiologist and explained so much to me. Although new to the practice she knew exactly what to do. Raul was also extremely helpful. He and Grace & Lucia were also very comforting. Later Dr. Abbasi discovered what had happened and he came in to check that my husband had recovered from the episode.
I cannot thank this team enough for all their care and concern, and for always being so wonderful. They continued to check on us while we waited for our kids to come for us.
If you are looking for physicians and a staff that is thorough, professional and very caring LI Spine is for you!
We Thank them all !
