My 1st visit at LI Spine and I couldn't be happier with the decision to go threr. Dr. Frendo was wonderful. He listened to why I was having pain and after xrays, explained why I what the issue was as well as coming up with a treatment plan to start with. Everyone involved with my care was great. Highly recommend this practice if you are having back/spine pain!

Dr. Mermelstein performed spinal fusion for two of my children who not only have scoliosis but a rare neuromuscular disorder as well. He was the right Dr for us our first time around with my daughter and we did not even hesitate or consider anyone else for my son. He is honest, patient and an amazing surgeon! In our experience all of the staff we dealt with at Long Island Spine Specialists are warm & friendly!

As a practicing injury lawyer for almost 40 years I can say that most medical offices are either too busy, or uncaring about the legal side of things... they are working on helping people in pain, so I get it... but LI Spine is an outlier. They are not only doing amazing things medically, but their back office is absolutely outstanding like I have never seen. Ruthie B. has recently put up with all of my "lawyerly" requests for surgery records, then all records, and diagnostic studies... all with efficiency, humor, and a genuine human-ness that frequently gets lost, and is so special to find. For me, she has made a real difference, I can only imagine what light she shines on those around her on a daily basis, including the patients... Thank you LI Spine for having the wisdom, and honest good luck to have Ruthie on your side.
