There is more but at the moment I cannot think because I am so furious after having just gotten off the phone with them. Apparently closing on time is way more important than addressing an 85 year old woman's pain issues and the need for simply just calling in a script. As a health care provider, I am appalled and ashamed that these people are part of my profession. Run, don't walk to a provider that has a team that truly cares for patients.

I get called into a room at 2pm, and proceed to wait another 30 minutes without the doctor ever coming in. I walked out, and told the receptionist (?) that I simply couldn't wait anymore, and wondered why someone couldn't have the courtesy to call me if they know he's running so late? You know, a little consideration. Of course, she had an attitude in her reply. Her excuse was that they didn't know he was running that late until I came in. Right. The guy before me who had a 1:30 appointment didn't get called in until 1:50 and who knows how long he waited after that. Time to find a new doctor, perhaps one whose staff has some respect for patients' time. And the best part was that she asked if I wanted to reschedule. You have to be joking me, lady. Awful.

TLDR: Dr. Quraishi is a dick, and his assistant is useless…read more I went to this practice after my MRI showed acute stenosis in the lumbar region of my back. I chose the practice b/c my FIL has been seeing Dr. Waqaas A. Quraishi for ESIs for many years. During our first consultation, he spoke only to my husband while ignoring me. During that visit, I told him there was only one pain med I couldn't take because it made me so ill I couldn't eat, and it made me suicidal. After the first injection, I went to my CVS and found that he had prescribed that exact med. I called the office and was told there is no note about it in the file. He changed it to Gabapentin but was doling them out 14 at a time for me to take at bedtime. After the second injection, I called and left messages for Kathleen, his chirpy assistant who said, " Here's my direct line, call me anytime" for three days in a row. Crickets. On the fourth day, I called the receptionist and told her that if it was not taken care of immediately, I would show up in the waiting room and make a scene. Twenty minutes later, I got a call that it was done. When I found a new pain management doctor yesterday, he immediately diagnosed bursitis in my hip and offered to do the procedure then and there. I asked him about refilling my Gabapentin, he said, "Sure. Three times a day, right?" I was stunned that I could take it during the day as needed.

Before I found Dr. Ocasio, I suffered with chronic daily intractable headaches for over a decade,…read moreand things got even worse after a 2021 neurosurgery that left me with serious long-term complications and nerve damage. I thought my life was over; it was just pain and suffering. Desperate for help, I traveled up and down the east coast consulting with different specialists at big name institutions, all to no avail. I had pretty much given up and was in a very dark place, but with my last drop of hopeful ambition I did one more search using different key words, and suddenly Dr. Ocasio popped up at the top of my screen... Did I just stumble upon a miraculous godsend right here on Long Island?! In case you don't feel like reading a long review, the short answer is YES, I DID! And if you're reading this, it means you have too! And do not let anything stop you from making the appointment that will change your life! When I first met Dr. Ocasio, he gave me hope at a time when I had just about run out. But then, being under his care, he has actually been giving me my life back, piece by piece. Leading into my first appt, I had been bedridden on disability for over 2 years after my surgery. I couldn't even take care of myself, let alone do anything I enjoyed. But over the last year and a half with Dr. Ocasio, I started having more good days, found new ways to treat and manage my symptoms, regained my independence, grew stronger and started to feel like myself again. I'm not exaggerating when I say that he restored my will and desire to LIVE, and gave me back a life worth living. This man is a unicorn of the healthcare industry! Again, not exaggerating, I have literally NEVER received this level of care and attentiveness anywhere. He spends so much time with me at each appt, always thoughtful and never rushing. He brainstorms different potential routes we could take and discusses them in-depth. He thinks outside the box and approaches things from every angle, treating the whole patient and the underlying problems, not just the pain symptoms. He's the only doctor I've ever had who also talks to me about nutrition, lifestyle, supplements, sleep, etc. And he seems to have endless ideas, so if plan 'A' isn't the cure-all, there's still a whole alphabet to work through. What I usually say about my own situation is that we didn't find a miracle cure for my symptoms, but everything we did chipped away at them like 3-5% at a time... but now when you add it all up, the difference is huge! At the beginning, I was worried about Dr. Ocasio being out of network with my insurance, but his office is amazing at coordinating my out of network benefits and making it possible for me to continue receiving this top tier care that only they provide. And the truth is that Dr. Ocasio wouldn't be able to be his unicorn self if he was shackled by the constraints of large institutions and insurance companies. Unicorns can only exist in out-of-network private practice, so thank goodness that's what North Shore Headache & Spine is! In addition to Dr. Ocasio himself, everyone working in this office is exceptionally wonderful. They're so friendly, helpful, warm and just all around lovely. And - not that it matters, but gotta give props where they're due - everybody who works here is beautiful and the office itself is super nice with very cool decor. So TLDR: North Shore Headache & Spine is basically the last bastion of human goodness and superior patient care, Dr. Ocasio is a miracle worker in a class of his own, and I'm forever grateful that he saved (and continues to save) my life.

After many attempts with no success, it was suggested I meet with Dr. Ocasio. After a very thorough evaluation and exams he was able to identify the specific nerves that were involved and developed a treatment plan that has effectively managed my pain. Medical excellence would have been enough to satisfy me but Dr. Ocasio and his staff are unusually thorough, patient and understanding as well. Dr.Ocasio is one of the best doctors I have ever met. Without reservation I recommend him and his practice as I have countless times since he began treating me.
