I can’t say enough amazing things about the staff here. I was going through the worst pain of my life & the nurses/doctors here were the only ones to take me seriously. They showed me so much empathy and guidance. After having an emergency back surgery with Dr. Meiner at the ER, I’ve had my follow up care here with Dr. Ellison. Both of them are so incredibly kind and just overall great humans. I can’t thank them enough for hearing me and validating me, and most importantly giving me back my quality of life! I will recommend them a million times over!

Dr. Feldman and his team were so knowledgeable and had a genuine care for me as their patient. As a second time back surgery patient I was extremely nervous. He took the time to address my concerns as well as explain my options and expectations with my recovery. I am so thankful that he was able to do the surgery and has me on the road to recovery and living my life again!

I felt very confident with Dr Feldman. I was greeted warmly by his nurse and made to feel very comfortable as we went over some of the details of my case. I was then greeted very promptly by Dr Feldman, I appreciate not being left waiting in the office for a long time. Dr Feldman then asked me some questions and we went in depth about how I feel what I feel and where it hurts, he listen to what I had to say. That meant a lot to me. We then went into his office and went over the x-rays and MRI. He was very thorough and showing me what he saw the x-rays and MRI. He then told me what my options were in depth. Then we both agreed that surgery was the best option for my situation at this time. He then went over everything about the surgery in great detail. He included the risk and the recovery time. He then directed me to his nurse, and she help me set up everything step-by-step. She has already called me back once to see how things are going. I feel very very confident that Dr Feldman and his team will take very good care of me. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Robert Feldman is a top notch surgeon/physician who possesses technical skills and personal skills that made my surgical experience with him very successful. He uses digital media in his practice that surpasses any private physician with whom I have worked in the past. Consequently I knew prior to surgery and thereafter exactly where I was in my recovery. He took time to talk with my wife after surgery and made her comfortable with the results of the surgery. His office staff is friendly and efficient. If I, or my family members, ever need a neurosurgeon in the future, I will look no further than Dr. Feldman.

I went to see Dr. Feldman after living with sever sciatica pain for over a year. I was greeted by his friendly staff who listened and quickly sent me for a MRI review. In less than a week I was scheduled for surgery. My pain was immediately gone. Now two weeks after surgery and I am as strong as I was before getting injured. I found Dr. Feldman to not only be a expert surgeon, but was also very compassionate. I would highly recommend anyone who needs this type of surgery to see him. He really is a life changer.

Dr Feldman is a phenomenal surgeon with a great bedside manner. Dr Feldman and his staff are genuinely concerned with providing the best care possible for each patient. It was suppose to be a month before I could be seen, a couple of days later one his staff called me as soon as there was a cancellation or an opening for me to be scheduled. Once Dr Feldman saw me, he took his time to explain his findings, go over your options and he does not make your feel rushed to get to his next patient. He is down to earth, personable and wants you to feel secure in knowing he will take care of you. When it came time for Dr Feldman do my surgery, he did it on one of his scheduled days off because of the severity of my condition. Thank you, Dr Feldman and all of his staff...you are a blessing.

Very impressed with everyone from the Doctor to every member of the staff. Very professional. No unreasonable wait times. Always met with a smile and courtesy. Dr Feldman explained every aspect of my procedure and made sure I knew and understood. This makes me feel totally confident that I came to the right place.

Greetings,

Here is a snapshot of my experience with this place. I live 1.5 hours away from here and was willing to drive because I've found this place to be the "best" regionally and wanted the best care for my issues, prior to my actual experience.

I found this place after lots of research and decided this was the best to go forward with, best reviews, testimonies, etc. I made my appointment, saw PA Ellison working for Dr. Feldman (Doctor whom I requested), then got MRI and X-Rays done as ordered. Once those came through, I followed up with the office because they didn't call me back (twice they were supposed to call me, but didn't) and the nurse told me based on my imaging, herniation, bulge, and degenerating discs (I have 2) there is nothing they can do for me. The only option is to see another doctor who might be able to find an option for me. My question initially is why can't Dr. Feldman have any options for me? I am in back pain, I have clear herniation and disc issues, but there is no hope for me. I am healthy 34 year old who has already had 1 Microdiscectomy to address a herniation, but now I have a reoccurrence and they cannot be bothered. Their response was to see another doctor. I have called 3 times to verify this is what Dr. Feldman said and it has been made clear that there is nothing they can do for me, the Florida Institute of Neuroscience can't provide surgical or alternative options for lower lumbar issues. To top this off, I never even met Dr. Feldman over the 3 times I went to the office.

At first, I thought they may have mixed up my records and was thinking I was another patient, but they said they were seeing my records and the Doctor's determination is not wrong. For those who may decide to read this review and think to move forward with your care out of their office, I hope you have a much better experience than I. Otherwise, I would recommend you find another office, one whose office personnel and primarily the Doctoral staff, truly care about their patients. Good luck in your research and decision.
