Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

when you walk in, the office and staff greet you
The staff people as well as the Doctor were walking and welcoming. Everyone was professional and caring. The doctor was genuinely caring, listened and was not rushed.everything he said made sense because he spoke in layman's terms. If I could give him and his staff 10 stars, I would.

Pain free
I was experiencing severe sciatic pain in my left leg and after multiple visits with pain management and receiving injections I had to find an answer. Dr M came highly recommended and after seeing him he left no doubt surgery was the only option I had. I’mHappy to say I’m pain free. He was a regular guy to me and we had some common interests that made the whole process easier for me. The professionalism exhibited by him and his staff made the whole process easier! Thank you Dr Menkowitz

Preparing for 2 level bilateral laminectomy with f
Doctor M and his PA Courtney, so far have been outstanding. I am nervous about my upcoming procedure for sure. But both answered all my questions and made me feel more at ease. I have placed all of my faith in Doctor M’s skills and his years of experience.

Dr Menkowitz was awesome in all phases of my care
Upon first meeting with Dr Menkowitz he was very relatable. After reviewing my x rays he made it clear that the procedure he would performed was my only option. He explained to me what had to be done to correct the problem and I’m very happy with the results! Dr Menkowitz and his staff are very friendly and compassionate. The made every visit seamless with little to no waiting in the office. I had heard about Dr Menkowitz from other people and they couldn’t have been more right. I highly recommend Dr Menkowitz to anyone who are having back issues.

Thorough and Excellent Service
I was in acute pain and Dr Menkowitz and his team quickly got me in for an appointment, diagnosed the issue and began immediate treatment. He followed up directly on several occasions to monitor pain and progress. Dr Menkowitz is clear on his diagnosis and provides straightforward and understandable explanations of both the issues found and the treatment options. I highly recommend.

DO NOT READ: Unless you want the Best of the Best!
Dr. Marc Menkowitz, Dr. Steve Paragioudakis, and NP Courtney Ellenberger-Brennan, my "Dream Team," are an exceptional spinal surgery team. I battled significant back pain for two decades and underwent various treatments, including chiropractic manipulations, holistic treatments, injections, massage, physical therapy, Spinal disc decompression, and surgeries, but found no relief until the Dream Team's exceptional care. In less than three months after their surgery, their unparalleled expertise and skills have already given me significant improvements. I highly recommend this extraordinary team to anyone seeking spinal care, including surgery. Their unwavering commitment to providing the highest level of care is unmatched. I am grateful for the gift of renewed health and well-being they have given me. With deepest appreciation and respect, Kyle Surgent PS. If you are tired of your pain - call the Dream Team!

My father suffered terribly from spinal stenosis and Menkowitz was our third opinion. I am sure glad he was. He took the time to fully go over my father's MRI and explain everything he wanted to do and why. He did not scare my father, but rather offered reassurance that this would fix his problems. He is now only three weeks out and feels like a different person. I am so thankful we found Dr. Menkowitz.

I had 3 back surgeries with Dr. Menkowitz. I could not have had a better experience from the office visits to the procedures to follow ups. He’s very thorough, knowledgeable and nice. He doesn’t rush you out and takes his time to explain the diagnosis. His staff is also great which made the appointments less stressful. Anyone who has back problems, i always recommend him.
