Dr Brindise, is my daughter’s doctor he did back surgery on her after suffering for many years from her back , my daughter had seen several doctors , but they gave her no hope in helping her , but after seeing Dr. Brindise he was the only one that gave her hope and she did get back surgery it took her a while to recover but she is feeling so much better, I have been suffering from my back and leg pain , my daughter told me to see Dr Brindise and I did , he referred me to see a pain specialist to avoid surgery and I did , I got some steroid shots and Thank God my pain is gone I’m very confident with Dr Brindise , I would recommend going to their office if you need to see a great Dr .
