Michelle is great! She is knowledgeable, kind, and gentle. On Monday I showed up for my appointment only to find out my appointment was for Tuesday. Michelle stepped right up and checked the schedule and offered me an appointment for 7:30 am because she had a cancellation for that time slot. I know this is probably not the norm, but the fact that she did this for me was awesome! I am very appreciative of her commitment to her patients and her willingness to accommodate me. Thank you Michelle!Patient Submitted Review

My daughter saw Dr. Brindise first , after seeing several doctors for her back none of them gave her any hope , until she saw Dr. Brindise , he’s the only doctor they really paid attention to her problems about her back , he sent her for some test ,and he did her surgery which thank God she’s doing so much better , that’s how I am seeing Dr. Brindise for my back also , I can say that he takes his time to listen and lets you know what options you have and lets you decide what you want to do , his staff are also very friendly and helpful in your needs . I would really recommend him to anyone that is looking for a great doctor .

Dr Brindise was highly recommended by my physician Kurt Heinking and I understand why. Dr Brindise listened. He taught. He encouraged. He said something I have RARELY heard from a doctor, especially a specialist. Dr Brindise said: “ you know your body better than anyone else.” The staff were friendly and welcoming and helpful. They gave instructions clearly and in a caring manner rather than in a bored, I-don’t-care way that I have found too often elsewhere. I hope I don’t have to be here often but if i do need to come back, I will feel safe, respected, seen and heard. I recommend Dr Brindise and his staff without reservation!!!Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Brindise listened attentively, asked questions, and answered all my questions and concerns. Good communication skills and the will to listen (unfortunately something rare these days) are the first steps to an accurate diagnosis.

Thank you, Dr. Brindise.Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Brindise is an extremely intelligent, competent surgeon who also has a compassionate, understanding side to him. This was my third back surgery and most complicated. It involved a double fusion. I had my first fusion in 1996 which was successful. Dr. Brindise discussed the possible outcomes of having 3 discs fused including not eliminating all of my pain. He exceeded my expectations! After 3 months of a major surgery, I am out playing golf. Thanks, Doctor!Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Brindise gave me my life back. I went to see him for pain shooting down my arms, shoulders and fingers due to a herniated disc in my neck at the recommendation of Dr. Victor Romano. Dr. Brindise sat with me and went over all of my options with surgery being a last resort. The day of the surgery he sat with me to explain what would happen and made sure all of my questions were answered. After surgery he visited me to let me know how my surgery went. He visited again the next morning and called everyday for three days to see how I was doing. He always ended our conversation by asking if there was anything else he could do for me. Thanks to Dr. Brindise I wake up pain free and I am doing so well. He is not just a doctor, he’s a healer and he healed me. Thank you Dr. Brindise for being an amazing doctor and surgeon.Patient Submitted Review

Dr. Brindise is an excellent surgeon. I have dealt with arthritis in my spine and cracked and degenerative discs for almost a decade. He listened to me and agreed to a non surgical approach at first to see if PT could help. Once we exhausted all non surgical options we finally agreed on a surgery. He listened to all my concerns and worked with me to create a surgical and post surgical plan that worked for both of us. With follow up PT and appointments my back is on the road to recovery. Also, wait times are very reduced for both doctor and PT appointments. The PT at Romano Orthopedics is the best I've experienced.Patient Submitted Review
