I have had two appointments with Dr. Antoniades, and that will be the extent of my time with him…read more My experience was below horrific with him. I came to him with chronic lower back pain that is likely caused by a bruised/ruptured lower disc in my spine, having now been in an extreme amount of pain for 2-3 weeks. He was completely dismissive of the amount of pain I am in due to my back issues, and would not discuss any kind of immediate pain management, arguing with me that if the current medicine he gave me isn't working, what else would I like to try? I'm the patient!!! I do not know what to do, that's why I came to him! He kept asking me what I wanted to do about my condition. If I knew that, I would also be a doctor and wouldn't need him. But, seeing as I'm not, I was relying on him, a supposed professional, to provide me help, which he did not. He was condescending to me when asking questions about my pain, and telling me I shouldn't be in as much pain as I am in. When asked to show him the pain, I told him I couldn't physically draw the line of sensation because I couldn't bend down to trace it down my leg into my feet. He just kept saying please try... please try to what? All of a sudden not have excruciating pain anymore? Eventually he got a "poker" to use to draw down my leg, which was a Stanley hardware level. Why the hell does he use a Stanley level as a medical device??? After all this, he just referred me to a pain management specialist which was on a list of doctors noted for dealing with pain medicine addiction. So, after all this, it was clear he thought of me as a person simply seeking pain medicine as a junkie, not as a real person who is living in excruciating back pain due to a possible spinal disc rupture. He wouldn't discuss anything else because he was bias against me. I would not recommend this doctor to anyone. Additionally, the front staff misplaced my insurance information and may have put someone else's insurance card info as mine. That is extremely concerning due to the amount of PII they process every day.

Dr. Antoniades is an outstanding surgeon who cares about his patients. I have two herniated discs…read morethat I suffered with for many years. The pain was on and off during that time until finally the pain was permanent. That's when I saw Dr. Antoniades. Dr. Antononiades and his entire staff was very professional and answered all my questions. Dr. Antoniades performed a Foraminotomy and even removed disc fragments that did not show up on the MRI. Finally no more pain and now I can even sleep for 8 hours without being in excruciating pain. Before the surgery I could only sleep for 4 hours at a time. Thank God for your magic hands Dr. Antoniades!

Although he was very informative and performed a thorough exam he seems a little cocky to me. As an RN for 25 years I am difficult to please when it comes to office staff and provider relations. Steve Harris, the PA, wanted me to get an MRI. When I explained I am in a lot of pain while lying flat and didn't think I could remain still for 30 minutes to get an image, Steve told me I have to grin and bear it. He did not offer other options, such as sedation or an open MRI. I am the one that stated my only option was to get an open MRI. If anyone makes an appointment with Dr Lemma, whom I haven't had the pleasure of meeting, be sure to mention that you want to be examined by him

I didn't WANT to make the long trip out to Annandale after an agonizing workday…read more.. But it was worth the drive. After years of condescending doctors looking down their noses while chucking multitudes of medicines at me for my low back and sciatic pain , I was nearly at my wit's end. However, the moment Dr. Gorsen walked into the evaluation room to greet me, I felt like someone was finally in my corner. He had a jovial tone (although he took me seriously), read my chart thoroughly, reviewed my MRI's extensively, let me speak without cutting me off, actually LISTENED, and fully processed what I had to say before responding. I can tell when a doctor enjoys his work by his bedside manner, and this doctor has a stellar one. While he's extremely busy (engaged in various side projects, inventions, and work with sports injury patients), Dr. Gorsen still took his time with me, didn't make me feel rushed, did make me feel comfortable, and managed to quickly devise and explain to me several prospective lines of attack to get to the root of my suffering. He patiently conveyed what I didn't understand in lay terms, and even offered an interim solution between now and the next time I would follow up with him - going back and forth several times to his supply room, working with me to find just the right sized back brace, and educating me on how to use it. If a guy this busy can manage to have a good humor, patience, and sympathy for his patients, the rest of you cocky doctors with atrocious people skills running patient mills should be ashamed. Additionally, the staff was pleasant, the office wasn't crowded with over-booked patients, and I've definitely had longer waits. Because of Dr. Gorsen, for the first time in three years, the light at my tunnel's end doesn't just seem like a freight train. He may or may not be able to help see me back to restored health; but at the very least, he HAS offered two very important things to me which no other doctor has bothered to even attempt thus far - and those are sincerity and hope. He has accrued an array of accolades over the years, and I can see why. I would recommend this neurosurgeon to anyone - near or far.
