I suffer from sciatica which stems from a severe case of spinal stenosis. I have seen a few other pain management specialists who have offered me various protocols including otc drugs prescription meds epidural injections etc. with varying degrees of limited relief. The point is seeing Dr. Ahmed has taken my psychological and emotional well being to a new comfort level. Of course he is tops in his field but it's the compassion the care and the time he has taken on so far two appointments to give me some real hope that we can work together to find some resolution to this debilitating pain! Spinal stenosis cannot be cured but there are options to alleviate the pain and get back to a sense of normal life. I trust Dr. Ahmed and I look forward to my follow up appointment. So yes 5 ***** and countless thanks!

My surgeon at the Hospital for Special Surgery is impressed with my progress , and I made her aware that it's because of the expertise and guidance I'm receiving from Andrea Kwok, Clinical Director at Spear's location at 2273 Broadway. Andrea is exceptional in truly focusing on individuals; she's keenly aware and identifies where I'm having issues with range of motion, pain, and balance difficulties- and then, for my session that day, creates a custom exercise routine to address that day's issues. Her amazing ability to recall my status and issues from my previous session is very impressive and reassures me that I'm receiving expert individual care. She also created an exercise regimen for me to execute at home using the Spear App, which has significantly helped me progress. In two months, I've achieved a knee bend of 124 degrees. I highly recommend that folks needing PT sign up at Spear at 82nd Street on the Westside.

She could ABSOLUTLEY HEAR what was going on in the waiting room and she choose to not advocate FOR THE PATIENT AT ALL.

It was a flat rate of X dollars each year. Recently, Dr Lillie quietly only renewed for 6 months (conveniently right before NY goes legal and we won't need her script anymore since anyone can now purchase without a medical reason). The dispensary noticed this and notified us they could not continue to give us meds because of this. When we called Dr Lillie, she offered to fix the problem FOR ADDITIONAL MONEY!!! This is the sign of a Doctor who is in things for the money. Not a good sign for anyone seeking the care of a genuinely caring individual. Secondly, this would be a great time to mention that my family member was never happy seeing this woman because she always rushed her out of her office! And old lady at that!! Lastly, in the midst of all this, we found another doctor who gave us the script for 1/3 of her price! What a RIP OFF!!! People like this disgust me. Hanging out on their yachts and ripping off poor people. You're going to the weed hell lady!!

Love Dr. Phil and his team (shout-out to Ram for his PT work and to Unisha for her prompt responses…read moreto all my requests!). I've been four times now to his office, and each time, he gets me in there within minutes and seems to have a whole treatment plan for my sciatica. So it's like a one-stop shop for me: acupuncture, PT bodywork, triggerpoint injections, red light therapy, adjustments. I'm in and out in 45ish minutes and I think it's all helping to get things to open up some more. Dr. Phil's a gregarious and lovable guy with a lot of good energy, experience, and knowledge... and thankfully he is covered by my insurance. My last acupuncturist on the UWS worked wonders, but it was out-of-pocket and my wallet took a bit of a hit (but I'd recommend her endlessly too!).

Dr. Ciccone came highly recommended, and I can attest that indeed he should be. He did not just go…read moreto school to become a doctor; this man was born to become a doctor. When he sees a patient, or even talks to one on the phone, it is clear that he is not simply fulfilling his duties in a professional manner, he truly wants to help that person feel better. Pain management is a specialty that requires a particularly strong sense of compassion, and Jeffery Ciccone has that in abundance. The comparison between him and my previous pain management doc, who merely administered injections and wrote prescriptions in a rather dispassionate fashion, is about as stark as it gets. Dr. C was right there with me, almost sharing my pain until I could finally have the surgery required to deliver me from it. Thank God I found him. Oh, and by the way, the surgeon to whom he referred me turned out to be one of the preeminent hip surgeons in the world (Dr. Darwin Chen). Before Dr. Ciccone, I was in terrible shape, could scarcely sleep due to the intense, sharp-as-a-knife pain, could hardly walk a block-and-a-half without stopping to lean against a building and wince and moan out loud; today, I am riding my bicycle again, standing up out of the saddle to grind up hills, and doing the 30 stories of stairs in my building for indoor workouts. Amazing. And I will never forget what Jeff Ciccone did for me.

My mother was to get three knee injections, 1 a week--three weeks in a row. In over 3 months they were unable to get injections and kept giving us the runaround. One visit they made us wait almost an hour and a half, then when we got in the room they say they don't have the injection (after taking the day off work and 1.5 hours in travel). The next appointment they canceled on us 15 minutes before the appointment time!!-(Again after I took the day off work and spent over an hour in travel.) No consideration for caretakers and no compassion for patients in pain. Will not be back!
