“I had been living with chronic lower back pain for years before I found this team. Dr. Kwan performed a minimally invasive lumbar procedure that gave me my life back. The care was exceptional from start to finish. If you’re looking for a spine specialist in New Jersey, I highly recommend this practice. Their technology and bedside manner are unmatched.”

“When our 6-year-old son was diagnosed with a brain cyst, we were terrified. Dr. Martinez-Sosa took the time to explain everything with incredible patience and compassion. Her expertise in pediatric neurosurgery was evident every step of the way. Our son is now thriving, and we’re forever grateful for the outstanding brain and spine care we received right here in New Jersey.

“After being diagnosed with a brain tumor, I met with Dr. Fried for a second opinion. He not only confirmed the diagnosis but gave me hope with a clear, personalized treatment plan. The surgery was successful, and I’m now tumor-free. For anyone searching for a trusted New Jersey neurosurgeon, this is the team you want by your side.

“I saw multiple doctors for my herniated disc before I found this spine surgery team. They didn’t rush me into surgery — instead, they walked me through physical therapy and conservative treatment options. When surgery became the best choice, it was done minimally invasively and I was back on my feet in no time. Best spine care in New Jersey!
”
Robert S
“What impressed me most was how the team treated me like a person, not just a patient. Every question I had about my cervical spine condition was answered in detail. Their approach was conservative, thoughtful, and always with my best interest in mind. If you’re looking for advanced neurosurgical care in New Jersey, look no further.
