Dr. Rances has been my pain management doctor for the best part of five years. I recently changed…read morefrom his previous practice to his new private practice. Dr. Rances is an expert at what he does. I have yet to leave his offices feeling less than heard and much better than when I went in. He does the majority of his services onsite, so if you need an epidural it can be done quickly and with minimal fuss. Friendly staff and handy communication methods like text messaging that drop into real people so you can get a real response, make the new office a pleasure to go to. I'm the worst kind of patient. I have a little knowledge and push for things. This can be problematic for the doctor as I often come in knowing what I want. While Dr. Rances does not always give me what I want (because what I want is the wrong thing) he does always do what is needed to make me feel better. Take any of your pain issues to him and he will find a way through. He will get you moving to the best of your ability. Just put the work in and you'll get much better, very quickly.

Dr. Starpoli's entire operation: staff, medical personnel, technique, is state of the art. His office is friendly and professional, always follows up after appointments, and keeps your progress on track: calling you to schedule appointments instead of relying on you to remember. I never waited long for my appointments, everything is run on time. I am a changed woman after working with him over the course of a few months with both procedures and behavioral changes that will forever positively impact my health. Gastro health never has a band-aid cure. It requires just as much effort from the patient as the doctor, and Dr. Starpoli led me on the path to healing. Definitely make an appointment to meet him and discuss your plan for a better GI system.

My mother and I are both thrilled with Dr. Elowitz' expertise. My mother is 84 years old and had…read morebeen in severe pain for three years. Her back pain radiated into her left leg and she had great difficulty walking, sitting and lying down. Her lifestyle changed dramatically and she could no longer keep up in activities with my father. My mother tried the usual treatments ie. chiropractic, physical therapy, acupuncture and epidural injections however did not experience any lasting relief. A laminectomy was the only answer. I researched surgeons for my mother as I am a registered nurse. I found three top spine surgeons including Dr. Elowitz in NYC and we scheduled consult appointments with each. Dr. Elowitz was the only surgeon who was confident that a minimally invasive laminectomy was the way to go. The other surgeons wanted to cut up and rebuild my mother's spine (including performing a fusion) which was way over the top for an 84 year old woman. My mother and I did not feel that she would survive the recovery period for a fusion which is very involved. We chose Dr. Elowitz to perform my mother's surgery. Her care was top notch every step of the way. From admitting to preop to operating room to recovery room to the hospital floor where my mother stayed overnight (as did I), everyone we dealt with was professional, competent and ready to help. Dr. Elowitz even has hospital privileges to admit his patients to the 15th floor at Weill Cornell which is a post surgical floor with only private rooms and views of NYC and the river. We were very impressed. Dr. Elowitz spoke with us before the surgery, numerous times on the day of the surgery and checked on my mother at 7:00 AM the day after the surgery. He gave us as much time as we needed to answer all questions and told us to contact him at any time if we needed him. The surgery went well. My mother is presently 10 days postop and feels much better. She no longer has tingling down her leg. Dr. Elowitz says that my mother's nerve was damaged over the past three years and that she will continue to see improvement over the next few months as her nerve repairs itself. My parents have been going for walks all over the neighborhood since her second day postop! My mother could barely walk before the surgery from her bed to the bathroom. We absolutely made the right decision to go with Dr. Elowitz for surgery. He obviously is capable of performing a more intensive surgery (as the other surgeons we consulted suggested) but he took into consideration my mother's age and type of recovery that she would experience and performed the perfect surgery for her. I highly recommend Dr. Elowitz. He is a highly competent neurosurgeon who happens to have a wonderful bedside manner as well. Edward Butler, NP: My mother and I are very impressed with the competence, practical knowledge and professionalism of Ed Butler, who is Dr. Elowitz' NP (Nurse Practitioner). My mother is 84 years old and needed a laminectomy. I am a registered nurse and helped my mother chose Dr. Elowitz as her neurosurgeon. We spoke with Ed Butler who took a through history before we saw Dr. Elowitz. We also met with Ed at the two week postop visit before seeing Dr. Elowitz as well. Ed treated us with respect and responded to all of our many questions. Ed has worked in spine surgery for quite some time and has a wealth of experience to draw upon. My mother thought that she was having an allergic reaction two days postop and we called the office. We were put through immediately to Ed who considered my mother's symptoms and gave recommendations. Ed realized that my mother was experiencing throat tightness due to residual soreness from the breathing tube that had been inserted during surgery and was not having an allergic reaction. I had told my mother the same thing but she had to hear it from Ed, not me. A few days later, my mother called Ed with another question and he promptly called her back. All too often, it is very difficult to get in contact with medical personnel after surgery. The patient seems to be forgotten. That is not the case with Dr. Elowitz and Ed Butler. They make their patients very comfortable and assure them that they are always available for problems or questions.

In a medical world that seems to center around profit and speed, Dr. Lustbader is a class act and a literal gemstone. I cannot say enough about how fantastic this doctor is in his sharp expertise and his gentle and playful manner. From the initial consult when he explained the colonoscopy process to me to the actualy procedure, he took his time answering my many questions and was thorough and attentive. Fast forward to the procedure: I have never felt so taken care of and at ease in a hospital setting. NYU Langone, you employ the best! My care team was just extraordinary. MY anesthesiologist Shawn took a lot of time with me, answering my questions and I felt so safe in his confidence and asssurednesss. His assistant Lisa was utterly kind as well and knowledgeable, putting any fears I had to rest. Thank you to the nurses Therese, Josleena and I believe it was Dolores who also supported me. Getting a colonoscopy can be daunting, but it's so important to screen for colon cancer. The faith I had in Dr. Lustbader made this experience not merely necessary and bearable, but one of the most positive and empowering medical moments of my life.
