Institution-Level Care With a Personal Touch

Icon

Independent and Patient-Focused

At New York Spine Institute (NYSI) in Westbury, our approach is built entirely around one thing: you. As a privately owned, independent practice, we are free from the limitations and bureaucracy often found in large hospital systems. That independence empowers our team to focus on delivering individualized care without outside interference or unnecessary administrative obstacles. Every diagnosis, every treatment plan, and every decision we make is based solely on what is right for each patient. From the first consultation to your recovery and long-term care, you'll experience a level of attention, communication, and personal commitment that larger systems simply cannot match.

Full-Spectrum Spine, Orthopedic & Neurological Care

Spinal and orthopedic conditions are often complex, involving more than one area of expertise. That's why NYSI's flagship Westbury location brings together a fully integrated team of board-certified orthopedic spine surgeons, neurosurgeons, pain management specialists, and physical therapists—working side-by-side in a collaborative environment. This unique, multi-specialty model allows us to develop comprehensive treatment plans that address the full spectrum of each patient's needs while providing seamless coordination across specialties. Rather than seeing multiple providers across different offices, patients receive cohesive care under one roof—with one coordinated team focused entirely on achieving the best possible outcome.

Leaders in Advanced Spine Surgery

When it comes to spine surgery, expertise matters. Our Westbury-based team of spine surgeons and neurosurgeons has performed thousands of complex and revision spine surgeries, earning a reputation for delivering excellent outcomes, even in high-risk or difficult cases. We combine years of hands-on experience with the most advanced surgical techniques—including minimally invasive spine surgery, artificial disc replacement, and deformity correction—to ensure each patient receives safe, effective, and lasting results. Whether you need cervical spine surgery, lumbar spine fusion, or revision surgery for a previously failed procedure, you can trust that your care is in expert hands with the best spine surgeons in Westbury.
