Dr Choi is a life saver! He is unbelievable! He is a top-notch doctor. My wife had an MRI and needed emergency surgery. He was on a family trip and he took the time to call me and explained everything. I can’t even say enough! He is absolutely amazing! I will recommend him to everyone! The bedside manner is wonderful.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Choi. I was in excruciating pain when I met him and had very little strength and feeling in my left arm. He performed an anterior cervical disc replacement and the relief was immediate. My pain was gone the minute I woke up from surgery. Every interaction I have had with Dr. Choi and his staff has been pleasant and professional. I highly recommend Spine Medicine & Surgery of Long Island.

Stop living in pain. That is what I have done. I understand the thought of a spinal procedure can be intimidating. You weigh out the pros and cons. You hope you’re making the right decision. YOU ARE. Dr. Choi and his staff are truly an exemplary team of medical professionals. YOU ARE IN GOOD HANDS. Most importantly you can live your life again! I had a spinal decompression surgery 1/8/24 and literally woke up from my procedure and the pain was gone. I wasn’t even aware how much pain I lived with until it was taken away. I hadn’t been able to even extend my left leg out to stretch! I immediately had the relief I was so needing. I no longer have a lower back that feels like an accordion from lifting my young daughter. And I know I will only get better from here. I truly mean it when I say I made the right choice. I was treated with respect and care even before I went in for surgery. Dr. Choi and the anesthesiologists even came to check on me afterwards. I had a life-changing and positive experience and would recommend Dr. Choi to anyone else who suffers with spinal issues.
