It may seem over dramatic, but when I came for help to Long Island Spine Specialists in the greatest of pain, I was warmly greeted, provided with great instruction and details on my condition, and found that the staff was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and creative in the treatment of my sciatic pain. Within minutes of my surgery, which was carefully explained to me every step of the way, my pain was relieved. What Dr Dowling Jr did is nothing short of a miracle and has given me my life back. Also, the surgical assistance team, and care I received at Saint Catherine's Hospital in Kings Park were also incredibly friendly, attended to every detail, and provided fantastic care. Amazing.

I had surgery from one of the best spine specialists in Long Island. If you are having any type of spinal issues, this is your go-to. They did not rush me for surgery, I had an option for pain management but it wasn't an option for me due to my drop foot. Was in excruciating pain and couldn't walk. Sciatica, L4. The office is very personable and they really care.

I’ve seen Dr Lawrence, go a long time (years), for the first time I’d like to tell the world that he and his team has helped me greatly with my back issues!I thought I might need it a surgery, and since medicine has become more and more a business he could it told me I was candidate due to my condition, but routed me to get help in other ways and it had worked for me so far! I highly recommend Long Island Spine Specialist (LISS) to anyone looking for a honest opinion and treatment for Spine/back issues.

I cannot thank Dr. Basra enough for what he has done for me. After living with constant neck pain for so long, I finally have my life back. From my very first appointment, Dr. Basra took the time to explain everything, answer all of my questions, and made me feel confident that I was in the best hands.The surgery was a complete success. The neck pain and arm pain I had been dealing with for years is gone, and I already feel like a new person. His skill, and care are truly exceptional. The entire experience from the surgery itself to the hospital care and follow-up was outstanding.Dr. Basra is not only an incredibly talented surgeon but also a compassionate physician who genuinely cares about his patients. If you’re looking for a spine surgeon who will treat you with respect and deliver outstanding results, I recommend Dr. Basra without hesitation.Thank you, Dr. Basra, for giving me my life back and taking away the pain. I will always be grateful.

I had neck surgery with Dr. Sushil Kumar Basra in November 2025, and I couldn’t be more thankful for the care I received. He explained everything clearly, made me feel comfortable, and earned my full trust from the start.The surgery went smoothly, and my recovery has been better than expected, my pain is significantly reduced and my mobility has improved. I truly feel like I have my life back.Dr. Basra is a skilled, compassionate surgeon, and I highly recommend him to anyone needing neck or spine surgery.

Dr Basra is AMAZING!!! Professional, AMAZING bedside manner, knowledgeable, shows genuine care for his patients, I have been treated with excellence by all of the staff! I was recommended to Dr. Basra for cervical / lumbar issues... I finally found a Doctor who takes the time to 1. Explain everything in English ( not Dr jargon) 2. Asks if I have any questions and answers them 3. Makes sure I fully understand diagnosis / plan / what I'm thinking of each 4. Takes the time to FULLY explain MRI findings on the screen in a manner that I can actually understand 5. Soooooo much more!I cannot sing his praises enough!!! All I can say is that if you're in need of these services do yourself and body a favor ....make the appointment...anyone short of Dr. Basra is a disservice to yourself... Thank God for Dr. B!

I am incredibly grateful to have been referred to Dr. Basra and Dr. Abbasi! Together they showed tremendous care for the amount of pain I was in and came up with a plan to begin treating me through specialized pain management. Because of them I am in so much less pain than I was less than a week ago and I have hope that my healing will continue. I know they will be here for me each step of the way, even if other intervention is needed, and if surgery is the best option for me in the long run. I have never experienced this type of pain and cannot express my thanks enough for the care I received!!!!

Excellent all around. Dr. Mermelstein is thorough in looking at all aspects of my injury, explains everything clearly, and answers all of my questions in a way that respects my life style and level of activity. The office staff is fantastic from the people at the reception desk who are friendly and helpful, to the X-ray technicians who are so personable and also sensitive to my injury and how to get the images they need while at the same time making sure I am as physically comfortable as possible. I have already recommended Dr Mermelstein and his office to a friend who was looking for a spine doctor.
