Dr. Handzer has kept my back pain at bay without surgery for 3 years. He always takes time to listen, gets me in quickly in a pinch, and runs a very efficient, clean and friendly office. I highly recommend!

When I lived in New York, I found Dr. Handszer through Mt. Kisco Medical Group, where I had been a long time patient. Dr. Handszer examined me, talked with me and we figured out a plan of care, thankfully drug free, that took my pain away for years. I was very sorry to lose him when I moved to Florida. I haven’t been able to find anyone else as excellent as he was at relieving my pain, long term. Watch out Doc, I may be back! ??

save yourself the time and money. Walked in the room, sat at his computer with his back to me and said "I don't prescribe narcotics, what else can I do for you" I was NOT there for narcotics. His rudeness was shocking!!!!! I should not have been surprised since as a nurse he routinely made comments for pts recovering from surgery as "drug seeking" . This guy is in the wrong line of work in my opinion

After being a very good, code adhering patient for years, I chose to be honest with my Dr. I lost a couple of pills. No sooner than I get off the phone, I receive a letter in the mail that he won't be my dr anymore. I should have lied. He doesn't really take your pain seriously, only how HE thinks you should be feeling. Not a good idea for a so called pain mgmt Dr.

I have been seeing Dr. Handszer for many years. He has been and continues to be consistent, helpful and caring when it comes to his patients. He has a good disposition when speaking to you and really wants to help you. I have seen other Dr's for my back issues before seeing hum,but he is the best hands down. He also has the best staff working in the office and in his procedure area.

Dr. Handszer did a great job taking the time to talk to me and find my real issues of pain. I was in a car accident and it was serious and he helped ease the pain and get back into a normal life. This is one doctor I will always recommended to others.

Dr. Handszer is a wonderful, kind a compassionate doctor. He took his time and answered all of my questions. The nurses are just as great as he. At each step, they explain all and ask if anything is needed. Thank you Dr. Handszer.
