We have been there 2x and each visit we have had to spend hours there. it's ridiculous. We waited 3.5!hrs the other day to have two tests done and they only got through one (30 min test) and wanted us to wait in the waiting room again to have the second test done. We left. If we need any further testing it will not be done in their office. We had a similar experience on our first visit as well. We had to wait several hours for 3 tests. Very disrespectful of our time and the technicIan is not very personable either. I'd recommend going to another facility for testing if possible.

This great team is still functioning, welcoming, treating and helping patients get better during the current pandemic. 1) The appointment process was seamless, thorough and perfect. My mother was referred to Dr Richard Obedian, Orthopedic Surgeon here by our Chiropractor. They called her immediately, got her insurance info and made a 12:30 pm appointment. 2) They stressed and absolutely ensured our Covid related health status, symptoms etc and required us to wear masks. Loved that! The office was also set up with 2 big chairs in front of the desk to create that 6 feet plus space. 3) Got a great warm welcome. Did not wait long and Mom was taken in for x rays and then the exam room. 4) The entire staff from the front desk( Hailey, Robin and Maria) to the RN Lauren to Dylan the great PA were warm, really looked out for her and were on the ball. 5) Doc Obedian was fantastic as was Dr Daniel Feldman the Pain Mgmt Doc. The latter took his time with Mom going over her MRI and broke everything down in simple terms geared specifically towards her condition. He listened and made some great recommendations to assist with her path to recovery. The common thread - they really cared for her. 6) The communication via phone was great. Dylan and Lauren called back to check up on her and advised re the change in her prescriptions. 7) The office was sanitized all the time. 8) They were on the ball with ordering the MRI, calling in the prescriptions. My mother is doing better. I Thank God and and I really want to recognize this amazing office for truly taking care of and healing human beings with love, warmth and their superior expertise. I highly recommend Island Sports and Spine.

Except for the doctors' assistants, Lauren and Teresa, who are excellent and caring, my experience…read morewith Drs. Sonstein and Obedian was negative. My recovery after surgery has been much more difficult, painful, and prolonged than I was led to expect. If you've ever experienced nerve pain, you know how intense and unrelenting it can be, which made the lack of empathy and impersonal treatment by them that much more disappointing. Dr. Sonstein arrived at my hospital room the day after my surgery, to do his first and only post-op visit. In between talking to someone else on his cell phone, he quickly told us that he was very rushed--never a good thing when your job requires precision and care--and that he couldn't stay "more than a minute". He visually examined my incision (no more than a few seconds) and then quickly left the room (all while still on a phone call, obviously distracted). In the full year since my surgery, I have not heard from him, not even once, to ask about my recovery or if the pain meds were working. What a disappointing and shabby way to treat a patient. Clearly, my spinal surgery meant nothing more than a metric to him. Dr. Obedian was somewhat better, although he too was distracted on his cell phone during the first post-op hospital visit, and he too left the room quickly with no chance for a conversation. In my follow-up visits to his office it was clear to me that he was not familiar with my current pain management regime, and he and his PA twice prescribed pain and nerve medication that we had previously ruled out. I can't tell whether the surgery was successful. My lifestyle is still adversely impacted by pain (albeit, less pain than before) and limitations on my daily activities. Perhaps that improvement means that the surgery was as good as they had hoped for (or maybe even better), or perhaps it was substandard. I simply don't know.

About 2 weeks ago, I woke in the middle of the night with an explosive headache, ear and facial pressure like I never experienced. The CAT Scan, Brain MRI and brain studies came back negative. The Neurologist gave me a sample of Nurtec to try. He said the drug is costly and to check with my drug plan. I contacted my Medicare Preferred Pharmacy and was told that the medication will cost me $298. I asked for how many days and was told it will cost me $298 per pill. I then decided to contact Dr Lee (as I refer to him). He is an exceptional practitioner and healer. He is superior to all the western medicine providers that I use. He always makes sure that I am comfortable and asks me pointed questions to get to the root of the problem. No other provider has taken the time to hear me and figure out what's wrong. Dr Lee asked if I was having neck pain which I have been having for about a month and then started treating me. I walked out of his office headache free and the pressure that I had in my ears and face were gone. He provided me with exercises to do to help strengthen my neck and I am doing much better now. Dr Lee truly cares about his patients, always accommodating and does everything to resolve the issue. I was first referred to him 10+ years ago for a herniated disc, then treated with him for my asthma, bladder issues, knee pain and joint pain. I have avoided taking a lot of costly medications with side effects. Dr Lee is the BEST!

When I went back to him for a follow-up appointment I told him that I couldn't walk his response was "Well you walked into the office." I have been to many doctors since and have had injections and now have had a spinal cord stimulator placed. Unfortunately, it does not seem to help. The next step is another surgery. My biggest fear may be coming true--a wheelchair. DO NOT HAVE THIS DOCTOR TOUCH YOUR BACK AT ANY COST. I also had a DVT AN PE'S after the surgery. STAY AWAY FROM HIM.

Yet that drug they used is what makes me irritable and makes me move around. I will be sending this information to the state. Do not let this man with an ego ever touch your spine. I can't imagine what the staff and other patients have to deal with I feel terrible for all of them. What a terrible "man" he is. I've seen toddlers with more respect and better tempers than him. You should be ashamed " Dr. Brian Durkin" At this point I'd expose my own medical records just to show proof of what my chart said.

While I was waiting, the front desk lady asked me to do something, so I politely asked her to clarify. Instead of explaining, the doctor suddenly walked in with an attitude, told me "don't tell my employee what to do" -- without even knowing what was going on. On top of that, the front desk lady then denied ever telling me to make a phone call to get information, even though she had just asked me to. At that point, I decided I didn't want to deal with the unprofessional energy and said I was going to leave. As I walked out, both the doctor and the front desk lady said "good." I came in already in pain and just wanted care, but what I got was rudeness, lies, and a complete lack of compassion. No patient should ever be treated this way, especially when they are already vulnerable. I will never return here, and I strongly advise others to find a doctor's office that respects and values their patients. Go on Google and read other reviews other have similar reviews like mine even worse.
