Exceptional outcomes—from an integrated network of experts
The Spine Institute’s interdisciplinary model means you benefit from the expertise of not one, but hundreds of specialists across Northwell Health.
We offer excellence in all aspects of care, from diagnosis to follow-up—but we do more than just fix your ailments. Our experts enhance your overall health and well-being through education, research and collaboration with other renowned specialists. We focus on prevention just as much as treatment, and we start by listening closely to your concerns. That’s why we treat more back and neck patients than anyone else in New York.*
Our care navigation team can help coordinate your appointments, educate you on your condition, and connect you to community resources.

Three Northwell Health hospitals have been named Advanced Spine Centers of Excellence by The Joint Commission, the only such programs in New York state to earn the prestigious designation.
Lenox Hill Hospital received five stars for back and neck surgery from Healthgrades in 2024.
Northwell made history by being the first in the state to have Teligen technology—and first in the country to use it for spinal surgery. Patient Marie Ginobbi tells her story.
The Spine Institute's interdisciplinary specialists are renowned for their expertise—and they share their knowledge with the next generation of clinicians.
This surgery was really life-changing for me. The care I received from the entire staff at Lenox Hill was just impeccable.
I am so thankful to Dr. D’Amico. He saved my life and helped me feel safe from both my tumor and COVID-19.
I got my spinal cord stimulator put in last October, and my life is so much better than what it was before.
A coworker said, ‘Can you slow up a minute? I’m trying to catch up to you.’ That is something I haven’t heard anybody say to me in five years.
