Pandemic? There's a pandemic? Apparently the Corona Virus is immune to Dr. Lerners office as…read morethere was absolutely zero social distancing. They didn't even check temperatures. They crammed so many people into a small space at once and let my husband and probably 15 other sad souls fester in the waiting room petri dish that will no doubt result in someone getting sick. My husband booked an appointment weeks ago only to leave after waiting almost 2 hours (he waited outside to steer clear of the germs). NYS is going to love to hear that a medical facility isn't adhering to proper pandemic policy.

Upon moving to NYC, I found Dr. Pacia through referrals and I am beyond pleased. He took his time to listen and really got to personally know and understand my condition. He was friendly, sincere, extremely intelligent and you can tell right off the bat that he's been around the block a few times. He knows his stuff. The receptionist, or his personal appointment lady Misty, is great. Very accommodating and on her game.

Today marks the one-year anniversary of the brain surgery Dr. Isabelle Germano performed on my…read morebrother at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. My family credits Dr. Germano for saving his life. It was a 9-hour surgery to correct an abnormality in his brain which caused him to have severe seizures. He had major and minor seizures - sometimes many times per day. The abnormal parts of his brain which were removed were dangerously close to the speech portion of his brain. Since the surgery, the seizures have ceased. His speech was not affected. He is in great health. My family is so grateful to Dr. Germano. She is not only a highly skilled surgeon, but she is also a warm person, very attentive, with outstanding bedside manner. She took a lot of time with my brother and all of his family -- before, during and after the surgery. She explained everything very clearly. She was empathetic and calming. We will forever be grateful for the excellent care she provided. We LOVE her! -Mary D.

Cognitive visits, exercise because he is bedbound, rotation every two hours to prevent bedsores. June stay: 2nd floor, no cognitive visits, no exercise (they said he wasn't a candidate because he's BEDBOUND - really? That is the exact reason I do exercise with him EVERY DAY); no rotation at all even though I repeatedly asked about it. They sent him home with a BLEEDING PRESSURE SORE on his backside. Luckily I was able to heal it at home. Also, they never figured out where the fever and high inflammation markers were coming from. They were focused on blood tests and a post-surgery hip. However, after we got home I very quickly realized that he has ulcerative colitis (I saw mucus and blood). Mystery solved. I put him on a special diet, I hope that does it without needing anti-inflammatories. Beware which floor you get sent to.

By the time I met with Dr. Golzad, I had lost all hope. I had seen many doctors and rehabilitation…read morespecialists for a work-related Traumatic Brain Injury. I was suffering from many cognitive, psychological and physical problems. I had to walk with canes or walkers, I couldn't concentrate on conversations, and I couldn't finish the simplest task. I was given the impression that I wasn't going to improve and that the passage of time would only make my symptoms worse. I was frightened, isolated, and profoundly depressed. My wife heard good things about Dr. Golzad and forced me to see him. My first visit with Dr. Golzad was very different than anything I had experienced until then. First, he observed my gait. Due to my balance disorder I had fallen several times. I used walkers to go around. Dr. Golzad realized that I had developed an extreme fear of falling and that I needed to overcome before I could improve. He attached me to a harness that was rigged to an overhead trolley. He took away my walkers and asked me to walk. The harness held me up. After several steps, Dr. Golzad gradually loosened the harness and encouraged me to walk from one end of the hallway to the other without my walkers. Then he removed the harness and to my surprise I walked. Within several weeks of performing a series of exercises, my legs got stronger and my mind got over the paralyzing phobia that several falls after the TBI had left me with. I became capable of leaving my house without my walkers! Still, as I explained, the depression was profound. I had seen psychiatrists. I was proscribed one antidepressant after another. My depression was resistant to Prozac and other drugs. That left me feeling like a failure. My whole life had changed. I didn't want to be depressed. No one wants to be depressed. Dr. Golzad began regular injections of the drug Ketamine in his office. Music therapy and aromatherapy were part of the treatment. After several sessions, my incurable sadness lifted. I wanted to and did engage more actively in the various therapy sessions to improve my cognition. All along, Dr. Golzad had me take nutritional supplements. I began an intensive program of supervised neurofeedback-assisted cognitive remediation therapy. It took several months until I made enough progress to stop supervised therapy. I continue the exercises on my own. I have restarted projects and I engage in activities I had to abandon after my accident. I no longer feel isolated. I feel hopeful again. Just a few weeks ago I started a volunteer job in a chronic healthcare facility. In my experience, a TBI injury is devastating. A patient must get the right care. Dr. Golzad personalized my care, all of it. I needed a lot of help and I got it. I am so glad my wife insisted I try one more doctor and that doctor turned out to be Dr. Golzad. To my fellow TBI survivors, do not give up. Wherever you are in this country, find the right doctor. There is light at the end of a dark and scary tunnel.

His notes go directly into his laptop and the clinical software, since he gets a lot of referrals from Primary Care doctors. Dr. Oribe speaks both English and Spanish. He has a good sense of humor and is extremely patient. As a result, he can run a bit behind schedule. There is an Astoria office, serving patients at New York Hospital Queens. The Astoria office is tiny and can get a bit backed up with waiting patients. I assume the same is true in Manhattan office.
