SPINE SURGERY & CARE FOR HARTSDALE, NY

Let our world renowned physicians and staff members here at New York Spine Institute in Hartsdale help decipher the cause of your neck or back pain through medically proven diagnostics and treatment.* Most patients fall under a spine disorder category of a fracture, herniated or diseased discs, infection, or injury, typically categorized as neck or back pain. We help diagnose the cause and provide proven treatments to help correct or relieve this pain for you.

After all conservative treatment methods have been exhausted, our Spine surgeons may suggest spine surgery, including back or cervical (neck) surgery. This option is typically reserved for a small percent of patients who experience persistent neck or back pain that may be caused by pinched nerves or loss of movement from spinal cord compression or mechanical weakness of the spine.

At New York Spine Institute our leading surgeons and back specialists are here to walk you through your treatment plan and answer any questions or concerns you may have. Your care while with us will be lead by a board-certified orthopedic surgeon specialized in spine surgery with advanced training in the bone and neurological disorders of the spine.

“If I can help one person and say you’ll make it through this, go to them, they will help you. I would help you to let you see what it is like on the other side of the fence when someone goes through so much injury and trauma and then in turn, feels like I do. If you can just meet one doctor, please meet Dr. de Moura.”

“I was having severe chronic back pain daily. This went on for almost fifteen years. As soon as I met Dr. Macagno I said, “that’s the guy.” I eventually had a spinal fusion L4/5 and S1. This was a ten-hour procedure. I exceeded both Dr. Macagno and the hospital staff expectations. Instead of walking a few steps, I easily walked the full length of the hospital halls and climbed stairs almost immediately after surgery. I am so happy to have met Dr. Macagno. I sing his praises every day and I always post on social media about how amazing I am doing every year on the anniversary of my surgery.”

Dr.v is a great doctor !!! From day one he has accessed and managed my pain while acknowledging me not only as his patient but as a person as well. Every Dr office should have a Dr. V and the world for patients with pain would be a much better place. I haven’t had a Dr this great since Dr de Mourra who did my surgery In 2013. Thank you Dr de Mourra for referring me to a pain management dr who really cares for my needs as his patient. It has been a tough road . I can now honestly say the road I travel now as a pain patient is much smoother and manageable. Thank you Dr v and NYU.

IMAGING SERVICES FOR HARTSDALE PATIENTS
