Huge news! 🙏 Our team at performed the FIRST case at Good Samaritan University Hospital using their brand new O-arm Imaging System and StealthStation Navigation!

This state of the art technology gives us real-time 3D imaging during surgery to confirm accurate hardware placement BEFORE the operation ends. Better precision. Better safety. Better outcomes.

So proud to have performed the inaugural case with . Congratulations to Good Sam University Hospital on this incredible investment in their patients! 🎉

5 YEARS of !! 🎉🙏

What started as just me and my office manager Linda with a big vision has grown into something I never could have imagined. There were people who thought I was crazy. And days I questioned it too - like 2 weeks in when our first receptionist quit on me during Super Bowl Sunday 2021 and I was greeting every patient at the door myself! 😂

Last week we celebrated this milestone with so many of the amazing friends, colleagues and referrers who helped build this. It’s not the milestones that make this meaningful - it’s the people you meet along the way. The relationships built. The friendships forged through the grind.

To everyone who has been part of our story: THANK YOU. None of this is possible without you.

Cheers to the next five years of Spine Medicine growth! 🥂

A special day in the OR last Friday ✨

Our inaugural case at Good Samaritan University Hospital’s new Patient Care Pavilion—a two-level hybrid cervical surgery with disc replacement + fusion—performed with Dr. Ledesma .

The facilities are modern, cutting-edge, and absolutely impressive. Excited to work here more often and give our patients access to these world-class surgical spaces.

Thank you to the Will Cain Show for having me on to discuss why the Affordable Care Act has driven up healthcare costs in America.

It’s pretty simple: The ACA gave tremendous market power to health insurers and corporate medicine including large health systems making it difficult for private practices to compete. It imposed regulatory, documentation, and reporting burdens making private practice viability increasingly difficult. Only 25% of physicians remain independent now with the rest employed by corporate medicine. The ACA also banned physician owned hospitals which have been shown to provide care at lower cost with higher patient satisfaction scores.

The unfortunate end result: Massive healthcare consolidation resulting in less competition. And a basic economic principle is that less competition results in higher prices.

We need to restore free market forces to fix the cost crisis in US healthcare and level the playing field to encourage competition.

Bring back private practice.
Bring back physician owned hospitals.
This is what our patients deserve.

Just returned from one of my favorite events of the year — Becker’s Spine, Ortho & Pain Management-Driven ASC Conference in Chicago

The highlight? Joining a powerhouse keynote panel moderated by the legendary Scott Becker: “The Time to Save American Healthcare is Now: Strategies to Restore Physician Autonomy and the Free Market in Healthcare.” Honored to share the stage with fellow physician entrepreneurs and Doctors Lounge podcast co-founders: Dr. Anthony DiGiorgio, Dr. Anish Koka, and Dutch Rojas.

Grateful to Scott Becker for not only creating this invaluable platform but also organizing intimate meetings with incredible speakers like Doc Rivers and — both of whom I had the privilege to meet in person. 🙏

An incredible evening at the Suffolk County Medical Society Annual Dinner this past week!

I’ve had the privilege of being deeply involved with SCMS for the past 8 years, and it’s been amazing to watch it grow into a true community for local physicians—one that fosters connection, mentorship, and service. 💙👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️

Under the leadership of our Executive Director Nicole Gerberg the society has seen transformative growth: over 100 new members, a strong financial foundation, and impactful programs like the Galentine’s Women’s Health Fair and Doctors of Tomorrow mentorship initiative in just the 2024-25 year

Spine Medicine of Long Island was proud to sponsor this year’s dinner and celebrate the remarkable momentum we’ve built together.

Congratulations to our new Executive Committee and incoming president, Dr. Deborah Blenner—we’re excited for what’s ahead! 🙌

Uniportal foraminal endoscopic decompression! and have made me a believer. I have been doing mainly dual portal over past couple years and was skeptical about uniportal.

Dr Kim and Dr Yeung showed me how uniportal could be an easy and simple way to access those pesky foraminal disc herniations causing isolated foraminal stenosis that are hard to access from a paramedian approach.

This patient had severe thigh and calf pain from foraminal stenosis secondary to L4-5 and L3-4 disc herniations. Uniportal endoscopic foraminal decompression via elliquence was done at an ASC. Patient radicular pain resolved and he was discharged home after a couple hours observation in the PACU. 1 cm incisions x 2.

Endoscopic spine surgery whether via uniportal or biportal approaches allows MIS spinal surgeons to be ultra precise in tackling every type and location of pathology. My algorithm now is biportal for paracentral disc herniations, lateral recess stenosis and uniportal for foraminal and far lateral disc herniations.
