Becker’s Spine Review, July, 2013
ROCKVILLE, CENTRE, NY, – For the second consecutive year, NSPC Brain & Spine Surgery (NSPC) (NSPC) has been named to Becker’s Spine Review’s “Spine Surgery Practices to Know.” Becker’s is a top publication serving healthcare decision makers.
“We are pleased that our work has been acknowledged again by this leading publication,” said Michael H. Brisman, M.D., F.A.C.S., CEO of NSPC Brain & Spine Surgery (NSPC) “Our inclusion for the second year provides further validation that we provide the most comprehensive and advanced university-level spine care in the New York City area, in a community setting.
Practices do not pay and cannot pay for inclusion on the Becker’s list.
In addition to being named to the list, NSPC neurosurgeons are regularly interviewed by Becker’s on topics ranging from the latest spinal surgery procedures and technologies, to practice management and recruitment.
In naming NSPC to the national list, Becker’s editors pointed out that: “The practice hired the first dual trained neurosurgery-spine fellowship neurosurgeon on Long Island in 1998 and surgeons performed one of the first minimally invasive microendoscopic discectomies in the tri-state area.”
One of the largest neurosurgical private practices in greater New York, NSPC is comprised of 34 physicians in neurosurgery and related specialties, including 14 neurosurgeons specializing in adult spine surgery and two pediatric neurosurgeons who conduct spinal and other complex surgeries. The practice’s fellowship-trained neurosurgeons perform the latest minimally invasive and open procedures for spinal conditions that range from common disorders such as spinal stenosis and herniated disks, to serious conditions that include spinal tumors and spina bifida. NSPC surgeons and nonsurgical specialists see patients in 10 offices conveniently located throughout four downstate counties.
The practice also offers medical imaging services.
