"Dr. Jay Reidler is not only an exceptional surgeon, he is a trustworthy person as well. Having had scoliosis for over 20 years, I’ve seen my share of orthopedists and spine doctors. None compare to Dr. Reidler. He speaks to his patients with so much kindness and intelligence I felt as if he really understood me as a person and not just an appointment. I never felt rushed during any visit with him. He values making his patients feel confident and takes the time to answer every question honestly and thoroughly (and I had many lists of questions before and after surgery). He visited me every day in the hospital and made me feel like his top priority patient despite having many others. He has always been available to answer my questions and has such a comforting bed side manner. I'm 4 months post op now and am so grateful to Dr. Reidler for his skills in fixing my spine. I have and will continue to recommend him to family and friends." - Dani G
"Dr. Jay is the REAL DEAL ! I am sharing my observations about my wife, 78, who just had her 6-month follow-up with Dr. Jay from a serious car accident 13 months ago where the other driver Totaled her car. She was driving and I was in the passenger seat. We had many consultations with the Doc, and he spent a lot of time with us. He was incredibly patient with compassion and confidence - he explained in EZ to understand in detail what to expect, step by step, week by week. No Surprises...100% SUCCESS. He is the GOLD STANDARD. I highly recommend him to any family and friends. EVEN if you are considering another surgeon you should definitely SEE him First for a 2nd opinion. THANK YOU, Dr. JAY, THANK YOU!" - Larry T
"Amazing surgeon who is passionate about what he does! When we were faced with my son needing a spinal fusion to correct his scoliosis, Dr. Reidler was recommended. We are so thankful that we scheduled an appointment with him. He is patient and takes all the time necessary to explain everything from the medical condition itself to surgery and answered all of our questions. He was with us every step of the way, preoperative, throughout the 8 hour surgery and postoperatively making rounds daily and a personal phone call to follow up. Not only is Dr. Reidler a highly skilled surgeon with an extensive educational and training background but he is also a kind and compassionate person who genuinely cares about his patients. This combination makes him extraordinary. If you are looking for a spinal specialist don’t hesitate!" - Aimee S
"My son recently had spinal surgery performed by Dr. Reidler and the experience was outstanding. From the initial consultation to the post-operative follow-ups, he demonstrated exceptional skill and professionalism. Dr. Reidler took the time to explain everything in detail and answered all of his questions with patience. He is on his way to being pain-free and back to his normal activities. I highly recommend Dr. Reidler to anyone in need of back surgery. Thank you for giving me my son his life back!" - Elana L
"I’m about one week post surgery for C6-C7 disc replacement. I cannot recommend Dr. Reidler highly enough! The surgery went very well, recovery has been much easier than expected, and Dr. Reidler went above and beyond in every way possible to earn my trust, answer all of my questions, make himself available, help me feel comfortable, and help me get this done. When I first came to see him I was adamant about not wanting surgery, but he really helped me get past all of my hesitations and I’m very glad I did it. If you need spinal surgery, I highly recommend Dr. Reidler. Also want to mention that his co-surgeon Dr. Karukonda was excellent as well!" - Mirel G
"Dr. Reidler was awesome. Incredibly knowledgeable. Listening to him speak, it’s clear he has a real passion for what he does. My back feels great again. In a world where doctors seem to be focused on volume he made me feel like I was a priority." - David B
"From our first appointment with Dr. Reidler over 2 years ago to monitor our sons scoliosis, Dr. Reidler gave us all the time in the world to explain the situation and answer all our questions. We never ever felt rushed during our appointments. When the time finally came to intervene surgically, Dr. Reidler and his team took care of everything with the insurance and explained to us the procedure and safeguards-monitoring that would be in place throughout the procedure and walked us through what recovery would look like. During the 8 hour surgery, we received updates every 2 hours putting us at ease. Over the next 4 days in the hospital, Dr. Reidler showed up early each morning before his regular patient day or surgery to check in on my son. I've known many surgeons that do their procedures and move on never to been seen again and Dr. Reidler is far from that. He cares about his patients before, during and after treatment. I wish more doctors were like him." - Akiva D
"Best consult! Dr. Reidler went over my entire history of MRIs, Xrays, CT scans, etc. He picked up right away certain procedures that others promised but then realized I wasn't a candidate for vascular reasons. He asked questions no other surgeon did and LISTENED. After a 5 hour ROBOTIC spinal fusion surgery, I was off all pain meds & no walker or cane EIGHT DAYS after surgery! Dr. Reidler gave me my life back, no pun intended. Of course I need to wait for the fusion to complete but I was only out of work 2 weeks and my pain after surgery was controlled well for the eight days I took them. Never felt better! Great bedside manner! HIGHLY recommend Dr. Reidler, it's worth a consult!" - Jennifer M
"I have been dealing with severe back pain for at least 10 years. I have tried physical therapy, and shots several times over the years. I have had many MRI's. I have Spinal stenosis and a few other things. Six months ago I started suffering from Sciatica every day it got to the point where I couldn't drive or sit for more than 15 minutes without severe pain. In October my regular Dr. Recommend that I see Dr. Reidler. I saw him sometime in October and he ran several test and for the first time in at least 10 years he told me my back problems were due to something I was born with. Moving forward on November 27 I had surgery where he put a few screws and bolts in my spine . I spent 3 nights in the hospital and Dr. Reidler checked on me every day. Once I was home Dr. Reidler called me a few times to check on my progress. I had my first appointment post surgery 3 weeks later. I was so pleased with the surgery and thanked Dr. Reidler I also shared with him that 5 days after my surgery I went to a friend's Birthday party and I was dancing. I had a second appointment with Dr. Reidler 4 and a half weeks after surgery and was approved to drive and return to work. Dr. Reidler and his whole staff are amazing I have already recommended him to 3 of my friends I really hope they follow through." - Yvette M
"When my daughter's scoliosis was progressing and becoming more painful, Dr. Reidler was recommended as a surgeon who operates without relying on blood transfusions. We were very happy with his compassionate manner, thorough explanations, and surgical skill which led to excellent outcome and successful recovery. He came to personally check on her every day after surgery, even on the weekend. It made her comfortable to see the doctor she knew. Her pain was well managed also, which made me feel relieved. Would highly recommend Dr Reidler and the entire team at Englewood Hospital. They took excellent care of my daughter through serious surgery. She has returned to doing all the things she loves." - Suzanne P

"Following several spinal surgeries, I developed a fractured vertebra. I interviewed many surgeons looking for one I felt qualified to take on my case. I was luckily introduced to Dr. Jay Reidler, a top-notch surgeon, bar none, at Metropolitan Neurosurgery Associates. He is blessed with the skills that define the epitome of a doctor: highly skilled, compassionate, and caring. He was always there to check in on my progress, even after hours. Dr. Reidler and his colleagues were instrumental in bringing the newest technologies to Englewood Health. I was amazed that shortly after a six-hour surgery, I was walking through the hallways after being bedridden for the better part of a year. I am truly grateful to Dr. Reidler and his team at Metropolitan Neurosurgery Associates." - Marcie B

He explained my case to me and was very honest as to what the outcome would be. I'm very satisfied with how my back feels now. There is a vast improvement over what it felt like before surgery. I would recommend Dr. Reidler to anyone who asks. Furthermore, his staff is wonderful and helpful, as was the staff at Englewood Hospital. He's a wonderful doctor!" - Joseph T

The scar on his back is so minimal thanks to Dr. Reidler's skilled hands! Highly recommend him!" - Nora S
"I'm currently in the early stages of looking into back surgery and saw Dr. Reidler for my condition. I've also consulted with two other surgeons ( neurosurgeon & orthopedics spine). Dr. Reidler so far is the most promising physician. He was very thorough in his testing and went over in details about my MRI and xray. I didn't feel rushed during the consultation and he was a good listener. Overall it was a good experience. Also, the front desk and the person that picks up Dr. Reidler's call is very helpful and pleasant!" - Christine K
"I don't normally post reviews but i guess i owe this one to Dr. Jay Reidler. From the moment i met him to the time i had my surgery, he has shown me true compassion. He is very gentle and kind with me. He explains it the way i would understand and feel comfortable about doing the surgery. The people that works in the office also reflects the mission and goal of Dr. Jay Reidler. From my appointments to getting me ready for surgery, it was a smooth ride all the way through. Thank you." - Elizabeth C
"Went to see Dr. Reidler to to issues with my neck. MRI showed spinal stenosis which needed immediate treatment. Dr Reidler was fantastic. He explained fully what was going on and what treatment was needed. He showed compassion and made me feel comfortable in what was needed to be done. He came in to my room the next morning and saw improvement and I could see in his eyes the care he has for his patients. It was an unfortunate situation I was in, but he took away all the fear and anxiety. Still healing but doing better every day. An angel ! Thank you Dr Reidler from the bottom of my heart. PS all his staff was amazing as well, full of caring and being helpful to my needs." - Pete P
"Dr. Reidler deserves 10 stars but Google only gives 5. (He is Harvard Trained i believe) He is A GOD SEND to patients with spinal issues, I had 2 levels fused. Its barely a month but I know Dr. Jay Reidler did his all and I will heal and be the very best. He added Computer Brain Neuro Specialists that came in so he can make sure he did everything possible to alleviate nerve pain going down leg. God bless Dr. Jay Reidler and credit to his colleague who gave my case and worked diligently on my surgery as well Dr. Yakov Gologorsky whom credit is also due! You’ll be in Gods hands with these surgeons! No need to go to NYC CT BSTN!" - Benny R
