I am beyond pleased with my experience at Executive Spine Surgery. As someone who has struggled with horrific back pain most of their life, I am known to be a hard critic of doctors and the people employed by them. I have attempted to see various doctors to treat my pain. The receptionists are usually cold and unfriendly and the doctors act like they’re in a rush. This was my first time visiting Executive Spine Surgery and my time with Dr. Spivak was a world away from previous experiences elsewhere. It was good to finally be treated with professionalism and care. When I say Dr. Spivak and all the other employees of his office made me feel that I was in safe hands and even made me smile when I left, then you can believe they are the best. I am truly grateful and appreciated their follow-up and willingness to answer questions also. A big thank you to Doctor Spivak and all of the kind girls at his office. I will be returning and recommending this neurosurgeon to everyone I know.
