It's a traumatic operation and Dr. Vitale addressed the fears of child and parents with great consideration. The surgery was successful, reducing a 52 degree spinal curve to about 8 degrees (no one has a completely straight spine, so this pretty near perfect). My son visited Dr. Vitale for a follow up yesterday because he'd been having some minor discomfort. X-rays showed no issues and Dr. Vitale again was the consummate professional as well as a kind and caring human being.

My Update Review -- with Clarification & Continuing Impact…read more The original review reflects my firsthand experience as a patient and observer during my stay and interactions with NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center. Everything I describe happened directly to me or to my roommate, and the memory of it still affects me to this day. When I first arrived, I expected professional, compassionate care. What I found was a strange split: half the staff were pure day-angels -- genuinely caring and patient -- while the other half felt like night creatures of Hades, treating suffering people like problems instead of patients. I remember lying there, unsure whether I'd get help or indifference when I pressed the call button. Those nights were long and unsettling, and they left a deep mark on how I view hospitals even now. After I was discharged, things didn't end there. A few months later, when my Medicaid coverage ended and my Medicare was about to begin, the hospital's billing department started calling me. I remember the woman on the phone saying, "The hospital expects to get paid." I was still in recovery -- mentally, physically, emotionally -- and that moment felt like being punched when I was already down. I told her to figure it out and ended the call. I never heard from them again. But the experience stuck with me. Even now, when I walk into a clinic or hear a hospital intercom, it all comes back: the helplessness, the fear, the sense that care had become secondary to profit. It wasn't just a bad stay; it was something that shook my trust in healthcare as a system. I still wish there were some way to hold them accountable for how they treat patients -- and to be clear, the word "wish" here expresses my frustration and lasting pain, not a legal or factual claim. It's the feeling of someone who went through something that shouldn't happen in a place meant to heal. This update represents only my personal story and opinion, drawn from my own experience. I understand and respect Yelp's content guidelines and have written this update carefully to remain within them. I stand by my review, my words, and the right of patients to speak openly and truthfully about what they've lived through -- especially when those experiences continue to haunt them long after discharge.

I think it is a NYC characteristic to constantly evaluate apartments we see and try to picture how our furniture would fit in the space: our friend's apartments, those of random acquaintances, apartments we see featured in the NYT, even on TV and movies? Like I was watching Rosemary's Baby again for the coming Halloween season and all I could think of during the movie was "How the heck did Mia Farrow and John Cassavetes afford that incredible apartment on one income"? I mean, he was a struggling actor at the beginning of the movie, right? How is this fair? Anyways, the place is sort of cool, if you're a fan of old buildings. It's right near NYPres, on a quiet block. If you're walking from the hospital, there is a little fresh market on the sidewalk some summer weekdays. They have a pretty busy practice, do acupuncture and massage, are open on weekends and charge an average rate. The linens are clean and the front desk are accommodating.
