i've had 2 VERY successful surgeries from the Doctors at Atlantic Spine. my first was a laser…read moreremoval of a centralized stenosis that was shutting down my right arm and causing heart and lung issues in 2012. Dr Liu took all my pain away and gave me back my lifting abilities all while treating me like an actual person, not like a dollar sign as i had been in Erie. he explained the surgery completely, and the team set up everything from my hotel as well as travel to and from the hotel to surgery center. i have often spoke with folks debating on getting surgery done and hands down the most amazing place i've had work done. and because of that, i went to them again last year for detrimental cervical spine issues. In early 2025 was told my spinal column c5-c3 was unstable and in x-rays you could see it tipping off to the left. the pain i endured was so bad, i often thought about just ending existence. my pain was as if someone put red hot coals under my skin and into my muscles from my skull down to my lower lt region and across my entire back and into my shoulder and down both arms...and the pain was 24/7 with zero relief for months. Dr. Bitan preformed a double discectomy with the insertion of 2 cadaver bones and a mesh around c3-5. I INSTANTLY had relief of all that pain. recovery went well as i was back to doing the bulk of my normal life within a couple days and as the pain subsided from the surgery (he really had to move things around as i have a large, muscular neck) i've been accomplishing more and more of my life again (this spring i will go back to cutting firewood) and i've even picked up a few NEW hobbies in life.... Dr. Bitan and the whole team of Atlantic Spine Center ( his whole surgical team as well as office staff -Love you to death Lisa- truly treated me with compassion, understanding (in my darkest hours of pain i was not a pleasant human) and overall REALLY gave me the feeling they cared about my health. they moved mountains for me and i went from putting together end-of-life plans to now living again. i was not sure i would make it to my 50th bday in the end of january, but Dr. Bitan and the team all DID make it happen and now i'm finding more happiness at 50 than i did the last couple yrs of life (turned out this issue had been going on for a couple yrs only on a smaller scale and had built up to life threatening after an incident). i've been sending everyone i talk with through my business (we own a meadery in Erie pa and are on tons of events as well as folks coming to the bar) to Atlantic Spine Center so they can truly find respite and a life again. sorry if i rambled, i'm just THAT happy and excited to have this pain gone AND be able to do my old life PLUS more again. thank you and much love to Dr. Bitan, Lisa and the whole team of Atlantic Spinal Center!!!!!!

My first visit was pleasant enough (although I did have to wait 45 minutes) but the treatment only exacerbated my problem.

I paid the bill but the staff didn't properly credit my account. When I called to rectify the woman I spoke with actually yelled at me! For their mistake. Go elsewhere....there are plenty of good doctors with nice and competent staff.

I was referred to the office of Dr. James Lee to get an arthroscopy done on my knee due to what was…read morethought to be a torn meniscus. From the first visit there, Dr. Lee, Sr. and Dr. Winslow made me comfortable and explained everything in detail so that I could understand. This was important to me because I'd never had surgery before. On the day of surgery, Dr. Lee made sure that I was comfortable by making jokes and keeping the air light. Surgery went extremely well and he told me they found that the meniscus was intact but out of place. Post-op, Dr. Lee and his staff have been so helpful. I also want to highlight their nurse, Dawn. I called Dawn a million times a week between getting paperwork done for work, reiteration if doctor's orders, or anything in between. Every time, Dawn has been so helpful and patient, even when she's had to repeat herself. If you're looking for an orthopedic surgeon, you've found the right one.

The leader of my team, Craig Soriano, DPT, is skilled, kind and professional. The most striking aspect of this therapy group is the energy in the room, and the remarkable way this group works together. I've been here on a variety of days and times, and each time they have smoothly flowed from client to client correcting alignment, giving instruction and encouragement, offering kindness. As a nurse, I can tell you that this kindness and smooth cooperation is a valuable part of a healing environment. Good job, JAG!! Update: I've been coming another month and these folks do NOT disappoint! I've come late for appointments, early and on the wrong day but they are unfailing in their kindness and effort to accommodate me Craig Soriano, DPT has continued to update and adjust my treatment to keep my recovery on track. He's both skilled and professional, a great leader of this excellent team. A special shout out to Amanda, who consistently steps to my side to make adjustments in my form so I get the maximum from every exercise. These folks really know how to work together, and I'm very appreciative!

I also just found out that my insurance is being billed improperly and that Im not supposed to be paying copays. Couldn't be more unhappy. I gave 2 stars because I didn't die during my surgery.

I was bummed that my mom was basically being FORCED to go to Kessler for reasons that I won't express here.. but the distance and reviews made me leery. Can I say that I'm SO happy this is where she landed. Thanking God for being all-knowing. She was here for a week and left thriving. Plenty of parking, very clean grounds (not an off scent to be found), staff was amazing and over the top friendly, top notch PT--beyond important, etc. etc. etc. I have to also give a shout out to a particular employee in particular, Tiyann. She assisted us in our departure from beginning to end. My mom had a lot of stuff and it would be difficult to maneuver all of that and her dealing with limited mobility. She got bags for her stuff, a cart to help transfer the bags to the car, helped re-organize my trunk to get my mom's wheelchair to fit.. and she did it all with a smile! I would highly recommend this location to anyone who is dealing with a spinal injury (that's the floor that she was on). Thanks again to everyone who helped make this a home away from home for my mom.

Some of the staff might genuinely be incompetent. My grandmother was there a decade ago for a…read morestroke, and had a very unpleasant time with the nurses. Just last week, she suffered another stroke and was placed back in kessler not even 3 days ago. The staff at the front desk are the only good ones in the entire building I've interacted with. I got to the floor my family was on and stood at a help desk for 2 mins as no one stepped up to ask us if we needed assistance. There was 4 nurses behind the desk talking and laughing. I found my way to her room myself. My grandmother's bed alarms went off multiple times and no one at any point came to help check. It peaked this morning when we found out that the mandatory medication she has to take twice a day to prevent post-stroke seizures was NOT GIVEN TO HER in the morning because she said she didnt want it. My grandmother is not in the right mind to make these decisions. My grandfather who has power of attorney approved all the medications she has to get for at least 1 weeks in recovery. Only one single nurse seems kind and actually capable there, and she was only there checking and doing rounds. The rest seem like they want to do anything but their job, and they left my grandmother crying and upset after she was given her medicine and strapped into a chair. The medicine is known to cause disorientation, and being thrust into a new environment you would expect some emotional distress in the first few days. I cannot stand this place or the majority of the staff and its not surprising the only positive reviews come from people who are receiving simple treatment.

If all the providers are anything like Dr. kong, i think the work they do is great and always greet my client who aren't in pain, provide answers for me and my clients. Again the campus itself is nice with plenty of parking and it appears that it is well kept which is always good.
