Dr. Ronald Moskovich, MD

I had severe Sciatica due to a herniated disc. I consulted many specialists including several orthopedic surgeons as well as neurologists. No medications or other pain management treatments worked and I was in severe distress for over 6 months where I could barely walk. Fortunately one of my pediatric doctor friends suggested Dr. Maskovich for consult and treatment. The moment I walked into Dr M's office I knew he cared for his patients as he sat me down and thoroughly examined me while asking many questions. I did not want to see any of the charts or even my MRI. After nearly 30 min of careful exams and discussion, he finally gave me two options, one try to do some physiotherapy and if that did not resolve the problem he would recommend an orthoscopic surgery to remove the extruded disc to decompress the sciatic nerve which was severely pinched due to herniation. After two weeks of trying additional physiotherapy which did not improve my condition, I decided to undergo a microdiscectomy at the Langone Hospital in NYC. The surgery was performed as an outpatient procedure and I was discharged the same day after 5 hours of observation. Within a few days of surgery, my sciatic pain was gone. I could resume my physical activities within 3 months with physiotherapy and regular stretch exercises to strengthen my core muscles. He followed up on my progress for over 6 months and noticed no side effects but full resolution of my back problem. It has been over 10 years now and I have no relapse of the sciatica and can do all physical activities. I owe a lot of gratitude to Dr. M for his care, expertise, and excellent surgical skills in completely restoring my quality of life

I am an OR RN with the misfortune of having a “complex spine” and facing the difficult decision to have a spinal fusion. After seeing many spine specialists, Dr Moskovich was suggested to me by an orthopedic surgeon friend who trained under him. Dr Moskovich is everything I was looking for in a surgeon and helped me feel confident in my decision to proceed with a L5-S1 anterior posterior spinal fusion. I am now 4+ months post op and could not be more pleased with my care as well as my surgical outcome! My lower back pain is almost gone, and I am sleeping better than I have in years. I am very grateful to BOTH Dr Moskovich and his absolutely wonderful practice manager, Sandra, for the compassionate care they both gave me through my entire surgical experience!!!

Excellent! DR. M listens to you and thinks out your problem and correlates with imaging you get to decide on a plan to help you. He is all hands on and waiting for this kind of thought and care should not be an issue since this thoroughness and attention to detail is becoming extinct in the Orthopedic world and for that matter the medical world as a whole. I have had 2 surgeries, one in 2003 and one in Dec 2018. Results excellent.

Excellent results with Dr. Moskovich.

surgery performed 1 year ago. Complications arose within 2 months. Followup MRI a ye later .Multiple attempts to arrange Medical followup. Calls not returned. Forced to pursue followup with another surgeon.

The last of the old guard, the smartest, most caring and most conservative spine surgeon I know.

Dr. Moskovich may be a good doctor but your call goes to voice mail and his assistant never returns the call. After several attempts of reaching her, she put me on hold and Never returned. I'm done!
