Dr. Simhaee has been taking good care of me after the car accident I had. He got very involved with my overall care as therapy and chiropractic manipulations were not helping. He has given me a couple of injections and so far, so good. I really am happy and appreciative for all his help. Highly recommend him!

My son, being an athlete, unfortunately, incurred a few injuries that required medical attention. Through all the doctors my son was treated by none can compare to Dr. Michael Horowitz. He is a true professional in the medical field. His professionalism, knowledge, and dedication in the field of medicine and his patients are impeccable. From the time of my son's diagnosis to surgery and recovery, Dr. Horowitz made certain that everything was performed to perfection and went as easily and smoothly as possible for my son's full recovery of his wrist fracture. He explained everything to us clearly in a manner we understood and always answers any questions and phone calls immediately. I cannot say more than that Dr. Horowitz is a fine, dedicated, and professional doctor who treats each of his patients as top priority.

Dr. Jonathan Simhaee speaks with his patient, Aurora, whom he helped with her back pain. A simple series of epidural injections gave Aurora relief. "I'm not in pain anymore!" she says.

I came to this office because of neck, shoulder and low back issues stemming from a work-related accident. The doctors have all been great to me. Dr. Jonathan Simhaee has continued to be my pain management doctor after my surgery and I appreciate all his help. I would recommend him to anyone that is in pain.

Over the years I have been treated by both Dr. Lewin and Dr. Simhaee. Dr. Lewin has done wonders for all my spinal problems. He did surgery and was absolutely fantastic, even making visits to my rehab when I developed a problem after my surgery. He responded without haste. Dr. Simhaee is very caring and concerned on how your pain is affecting your life. He is absolutely wonderful. I have ongoing spinal problems due to genetic dispositions and he has worked wonders in getting me relief so I can lead a useful life.

Dr. Jonathan Simhaee speaks with his patient Nancy whom he helped with her pain due to severe scoliosis. Pain-free cortisone injections gave Nancy relief. "I'm back to my normal self," she says.

Dear Dr. Lewin, Thank you for the surprise gift of the edible fruit, it was not only beautiful, but delicious. The vase was a cup which is now my coffee cup which will always remind me of your genuine caring and generosity. I hope your holiday was a good one, and a well deserved rest from your work schedule. I am blessed to have come to know your exceptional caring that goes way beyond the operating room and your constant prayers. Well wishes also to your staff. P.S. Any mother would be so proud to have you as a son I brag about you to everyone.

I was referred to Dr. Lewin. I came in, sat down, talked to him… When I left my appointment I decided that he’s the right one to do the surgery, and I gave him my MRI… The operation as far as I’m concerned was brilliant, very successful, and very, very happy. A new life.

Dr. Lewin is nice, professional and knowledgeable, I needed an appointment on short notice and he found a time to get me in. I needed surgery, he and his staff made all the efforts to have the medical clearance done in no time. Dr. Lewin is extremely thorough and attentive. I highly recommend Dr. Lewin and his staff to anyone who cares about their health to invest in him.

My experience with Dr. Lewin has been excellent. I love the care and treatment he has shown me. In my opinion he is the best. He also has an outstanding staff and I would highly recommend him to anyone I know who needs spinal treatment.

Dr. Lewin and staff have been exceptional from beginning to present. Dr. Lewin is an amazing surgeon! I would not trust anyone else after having (2) surgeries performed by Dr. Lewin. He has given me the ability to walk again without a cane. I’m on the road to a full recovery and I owe it all to Dr. Lewin. Thanks to everyone at “Center for Spinal Disorders” with special thanks to “Thais Montalvo” for making my appointments and handling all paperwork. You are a big part of making the “Center for Spinal Disorders” the best of the best. Thank you all.

I had never had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Lewin prior to our initial pre-operative discussion. He had spoken but a few words, yet I would sense that I had chosen the right surgeon for my annoying back problems. His ability as a surgeon can only be given the highest level of competency and without question he merits in excess of five stars.
Al C.
Dr. Lewin definitely made me feel at ease. He explained the procedure, what was going to happen, how many days or how long it was going to be before I was going to recover. I’ve been going through this for 3 years now since my car accident and I would say that this was definitely a good choice for me.
Maribel Medina
I appreciate that I had a doctor like Dr.Lewin to be able to do the surgery and explain it to me…It’s the greatest decision I’ve ever made.

My name is Caren Landis and I have a fabulous story to share with you. In September of 2014, I had a bad biking accident and hurt my back. I tried everything to improve without surgery. I am a very active person; I love to bike, fly, fish, kayak, boat, walk and play with my huge dogs. A very large part of my life is as a crew-member of FiFi, the last fling B-29 bomber from WWII. After the accident I had to go on tour with the crew but I was unable to perform my duties to my standards or any standards. I did my best and knew that if I was unable to repair the damage, my flying life was over. I was truly distraught! I decided that drastic measures were necessary and I began my search for the best Orthopedic Spine Surgeon for me. I specify for “Me” because I felt and still do feel that it is very important to be able to trust and relate to one’s physician. My strategy was to talk with my friends who had been to orthopedic physicians for various back injuries followed by surgical procedures. I went to one highly recommended physician who without even getting new tests (Mine were a year old) wanted to do surgery immediately on my L – 2/3 vertebrae. He scared the life out of me by making it sound desperate! I told him I would think about it and get back to him. I was so put off by his approach that I knew I would seek out another opinion. I was taking my mother to her rheumatologist, Dr. Alexandru Kimel of Teaneck, NJ, and I decided to talk with him about what happened with the first orthopedic physician. Dr. Kimel proceeded to tell me about Dr. Jonathan Lewin of The Center for Spinal Disorders. He told me if he or any family member ever needed back surgery, he would only go to Dr. Lewin. I have a deep respect for Dr. Kimel and upon his recommendation I decided to make an appointment with Dr. Lewin. Dr. Lewin is out of network for my insurance plan, but his wonderful office staff said that they would work with my plan. I made an appointment and was seen rather quickly. I loved Dr. Lewin! He was kind, caring, self-assured and did not rush to do surgery! He told me that it was important to get it right the first time! After several new tests, Dr. Lewin and I sat down to discuss the options. The first realization I had was that the problem was not with the L-1/2 area, but with the L 4/5 vertebrae! I decided to go ahead with the discectomy/fusion because of my active lifestyle. I never wanted this problem to pop up again! Dr. Lewin recommended having my surgery at the Englewood Hospital Spine Center. His reasons were sound; he told me the care I would receive would be top-notch. I live in dockland County, NY, so this was an easy decision for me. We decided to drive down and visit the hospital for ourselves. It was beautiful! We walked around the lobby and cafeteria area and saw all the awards that had been awarded to the various units within Englewood Hospital. My mind was made up! We chose Englewood for the surgery and I can only say that out of all my hospital experiences during my life, the treatment and care I received was phenomenal! There were two nurses that were outstanding, Iulia Comanici and Wendy. I also had two of the most amazing and caring nursing assistants, Jazz and Fiona (Fifi). There is no way I can thank them for taking such wonderful care of me! Dr. Lewin was true to his word; my back is now on the way to being as good, if not better than it was! I had joked with Dr. Lewin about not having huge scars and he told me not to worry! When I was in the rehab facility, the physician there told me how beautiful and small the three little scars were! I was so very happy with the outcome of Dr. Lewin’s work! I have already told all my friends about Dr. Lewin and his wonderful staff. I cannot imagine a more caring physician. I was in Englewood during the “Storm of the Century” that wasn’t, and Dr. Lewin made sure that if he was unable to see me that another physician would be there for me! Dr. Lewin even called me on the phone to check in with me! I never had a physician do that when I was in the hospital! In closing, I wasted to share with you how much of a difference Dr. Jonathan Lewin and his wonderful staff have made in my life! When FiFi (B-29) leaves on tour in May, I will be back in the air where I belong! Thank you for everything that Englewood Hospital Spine Center did for my family and me!

“Dr. Lewin stayed on my case and gave me my life…The main thing about Dr. Lewin is that he’s a specialist in what he does. He’s the top in the field. But what goes beyond that is his concern for the patient.”

Dear Dr. Lewin & Staff, We wish to thank you for your kindness and excellent care of our mother, Nila Kugnat. Your wisdom and support of your staff helped us through what was a very difficult time, and we will never forget your kindness. Please express our appreciation to everyone who worked with Mom.
Nila, Olena Kugnat & Family
“The surgery conducted by Dr. Lewin and his team, was extremely successful. Before the procedure, I had constant pain in the lower back radiating to the legs, and I was not able to walk properly. I am now able to walk up and down the steps, pain-free. It is all behind me and I feel as if I got my life back.”
