I had a three level discectomy with four level cervical spine fusion and Dr. Brandenstein did a magnificent job. His pre-surgical consultation covered every aspect of my surgery and post-op recovery. He was very detailed and left me with no worries or questions about my procedure. He showed great care and genuine concern for my wellbeing at every step of my treatment. After my surgery, I felt great relief of my symptoms and do not regret for one second having gone through my procedure. I highly recommend Dr. Brandestein as a practitioner and would have no problem having him operate on any friend or member of my family.

It is not easy or quick to get an appointment with Dr. Brandenstein because he is in demand. When there is a problem to discuss, he takes the time to discuss the details; when it is a follow up and all is well, he can be rushed, but will still answer your questions, which is appropriate given the pace of the practice. He is personable, with a warm bedside manner and I would be comfortable with his surgical ability had I required it at this time.

I was sent to Dr. Brandenstein from another doctor. He could not have been more caring and attentive. After explaining what I needed to have done regarding my discs issues, we came to the conclusion that I needed ACDF surgery on 3 level.
The care I have received from not only Dr Brandenstein but also from his office has been amazing. I have never had a doctor thank me for allowing him to help me be whole. I owe so much to him for keeping me from getting worse. Thank you Dr Brandenstein!

I had back surgery a few years ago and I can say without a doubt I wouldn't be able to function today without Dr. Brandenstein's surgery. He did a great job and I have had little effects since the microdiscectomy. I highly recommend him. Thanks, Dr. Dan!

I met with Dr Brandenstein for a consult and his bedside manner is incredible! HE sat with me for over an hour and gave me the pro and cons for all of my options. He gave me paper work and told me to look everything over and come back in 2 weeks and we would make a decision at that time. I went back and he sat with me for about an hour again and explained everything so I could understand and we went and scheduled my spinal fusion. BY FAR THE BEST DR IVE EVER HAD. INCREDIBLE BED SIDE MANNER!

Dr. Brandenstein before doing surgery on my spine, explained all procedures. We examined my MRI and he made sure I was comfortable with having the procedure done. Thank you. I would recommend Dr. Brandenstein to all who are contemplating surgery.

Dr. Brandenstein is a great doctor. I had a herniated disc and a lot of pain. He corrected it with surgery which I was very nervous about. He made me feel at ease and now I do not have pain. I am so grateful! He is so kind, he listens and explains things to you. I could not recommend him more.

GG in Babylon NY – Mar 15, 2016
Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Brandenstein?
Dr. Brandenstein was happy to meet with us on two occasions to discuss my current condition and the course of action to provide a remedy. We were just shy of setting up a surgery date when we were simply blown off and referred to pain management (even though he was aware I was already seeing a PM doctor for the last 8 years)! For whatever reason he no longer wanted to help us and just referred us to his receptionist. What a poor and inhumane thing for a professional to do. Think again!

Constant Pain in Holbrook, NY – Feb 17, 2016
Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Brandenstein?
I felt the doctor only half listened to my concerns and when I received copies of my records some of the info conflicted and some of my symptoms were not even listed.
The wait to see him is absurd.
I cannot work due to my back issues, it's that severe. I have been to his office 3 times and still nothing is resolved.
If you have a chance to see someone else - do it!
