Sabino D'agostino's Online Review Report Card

I went to him in Dec 2019 , I was losing use of my hands, couldn’t bend my arms without losing feeling in them, or hold my head up by the end of the day, creating a tremendous amount of pain in my back, arms and legs, I was told by another doctor “lots of people have necks like yours and don’t have all those problems “- that doctor suggested I go to pain management & likely had fibromyalgia- told me that I could find someone to do surgery but it likely wouldn’t help. I am a military veteran & I suffered more than 20 years with issues & left there broken hearted , feeling like my life was pretty much over. I decided to get a second opinion and went to see Dr. D’Agustino who listened & did the surgery- afterwards it took me about a year to recover & now 4 years later I am pain free, able to use my arms -resumed an active lifestyle I lost due to the awful pain I was in. After using nsaids, muscle relaxers for nearly 20 years and multiple pain injections- I am COMPLETELY pain medicine FREE , including nsaids. I can sleep all night instead of waking up every hour or so, I can bend my arms without losing feeling in them. My neck issues and pain were so bad I didn’t even realize I had a nearly complete rotator tear in my shoulder until I was doing much better from my neck surgery & got it checked on just in case. Since my fusion and shoulder surgeries, I’m able to get into a better physical condition and take care of my health. Thanks to Dr. Sabino D’Agostino I have gotten the life I wanted back, I can hike, swim & play with my grandkids, travel long distances , sew and craft, ride our motorcycle with my spouse and do so many things I wasn’t able to before ( like even cut my own food). I have gained my life back. I am so grateful for him and his practice.

Thorough with all my visits, kind courteous, took time to answer questions.

He doesn’t care about his patients!

Exceptional surgeon, changed my life. Thoughtful and sincere staff especially Alice

Dr. D is a marriage saver. I had so much back pain that I would bark at my wife. Went to see Dr.D after being seen at the Spine Institute for over a year. My first visit with Dr.D was simple, he looked at my MRI let me know what he would do to help me. Less down time, less incisions and closer to home. He Fused and pined L-3 & 4 , the pain he said I would have was real, but it only lasted about 3 days, then each day it was less pain. ( still not as bad as I went through for over a year) It has been a year now, no more pain! The hardest that I had to do is pay attention to what I was doing, bending, lifting etc. Thanks to Dr.D I have my live and my wife back. It is only scary when you hear you need back surgery , fusion, rods and pins. The no more pain whips that away.

Never saw him only saw and spoke with NP regarding my back issues.

I am a retired physician, suffering from degenerative arthritis of the spine for many years. I have had numerous cervical and lumbar spine operations. Last fall I lifted a heavy cooler and ruptured "the last good disc" in my lumbar spine. The pain was immediate and excruciating. Dr. D recommended a robotic fusion with laminectomy, which he performed on Dec. 7, 2022. The procedure took five hours, and the post-op period was rough, but I went home after two nights in the hospital. Two weeks later I was free of pain, and I remain so today. Dr. D and his nurse, Amanda, were competent, attentive, and professional. I am lucky to have him. Please do not pay any attention to any detractors here....some people cannot be satisfied! Like all neurosurgeons, he cannot guarantee results, but his skill level is top-notch and he is truly interested in the welfare of his patients.

I've had chronic back pain/problems since 1996 and have had multiple of multiple of multiple of surgeries. I would like to thank Dr. D so much for making me feel better than I have felt in a very long time. I still have pressure on my lower back but that is nothing like what I felt before. Thank you so much again Dr. D.

Great manner, listener and good at explaining things that anyone will understand.
