After the surgery (L4-L5) I have had pain 24/7. I wake up in pain and go to sleep in pain. 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.

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.

To whom it may concern,…read more I visited the Massapequa office and saw Dr. Lippe on March 6, 2026,because of pain in my left wrist. They took X-rays and found nothing so I was sent for an MRI which I had done On March 11, 2026. No one in the office was able to confirm whether or not an authorization was needed so my wife and I spent two days coordinating phone calls between the office, insurance company and Wantagh MRI to finally get this straightened out. This begins a world of frustration with this practice. I retuned for my follow up visit March 12, 2026, only to find that that was no concrete issue as to why I am experiencing the pain in my wrist so Dr. Lippe suggested a follow-up visit with the hand specialist and suggested that he call in an Rx for an anti-inflammatory to help me get some immediate relief. When I followed up with my CVS pharmacy Thursday afternoon I was told there was no Rx called in. After several phone calls with the office and being told that they would get back to, it is now Friday, March 13, at 1 PM and still no Rx or relief as I sit here in pain. My wife just called again and was told - "Yes we see the message and will get back to you" now 24 hours later. This was my first time at this practice and I would never return again not for a hand specialist or any doctor for that matter. I have been to many Doctors in my time and never experience such non- compassion or complete incompetence. I will make sure this is posted on every media channel can post it on as I sit here in pain with no relief after spend a week dealing with this incompetent practice. To say frustrated - is an understatement. To be continued...
