Spine Associates of NYC: Sean McCance, MD

"Dr McCance operated on my spine six years ago - I had lost all feeling in and could not use my foot due to a truncated nerve and herniated disc. The surgery was a complete success - all of the feeling and function came back to my foot and the pain in my lower back disappeared. I consider my self very fortunate to have had a surgeon of Dr McCance's incredible skill and experience operating on me - I was home the same night and have felt fine ever since. I also had other back issues before this surgery, but Dr McCance steered me to physical therapy as he only recommends surgery as a last resort which as a patient is a great comfort."

"I cannot say enough about Dr. McCance. He has saved my life three times now: The first time was not to operate, and I respect his restraint. The second and third times were very successful surgeries: Four year years ago, I had a spinal fusion at C5-C6. Then I had another herniated disc at C4-C5 and, in order to preserve mobility and range of motion, Dr. McCance performed a cervical disc replacement. The recovery after the disc replacement was much faster and easier than after the spinal fusion. It's five months later and I'm fully recovered. I'm thrilled, grateful and recommend Dr. McCance very strongly and without any reservation whatsoever. In addition, his office is outstanding. They were incredibly helpful and responsive, including obtaining the insurance approvals and scheduling the X-rays and MRIs. Overall, my experience was absolutely wonderful and wish there were more than five stars I could give him."

"underwent ACDF surgery at the C4-C5 level with Dr. McCance, and I couldn't be more grateful for the outcome. From the first consultation, he was clear, thorough, and reassuring, taking the time to explain everything in detail. My pre-surgery neck and arm symptoms were gone immediately after surgery, which was remarkable and incredibly relieving. From my initial consultation through surgery and follow-up, Dr. McCance was exceptional..Dr. McCance is an exceptional surgeon with outstanding skill and bedside manner, and I highly recommend him to anyone needing cervical spine surgery."
