Sean Eugene Mccance, MD

Had severe muscle weakness in one leg caused by a herniated disc. Dr McCance did a laminectomy and the next day I could feel some improvement. After a few months of physical therapy and other activities my leg strength is almost normal. He and his staff were amazing and I would highly recommend him for his surgical skill and reassuring manner

I was referred to Doctor McCance with a severely herniated disk that lodged against my nerve. I could not walk or stand. The entire staff was supportive and accommodated me in every sense, and surgery itself was well articulated, scheduled and performed, with detailed follow ups to ensure proper healing. Within six months I was 100% back to my normal, active self as a early 40s male runner and fitness enthusiast. Doctor McCance has a rare combination of An honest, thoughtful and warm bedside manner coupled with technical ability - I was lucky to have him and recommend him enthusiastically.

I am finally towards the end of my treatment with this brilliant kind doctor and his amazing team Sean, Adrianna, Joana, Doris . I came back from vacation with severe neck pain thinking this was just a structural issue . My chiropractor said best u get an MRI and find a good spine / orthopedic surgeon . I google spine and cervical surgery in Manhattan . My first google I found Dr Sean McCance website -after read the stellar reviews - learned of his position as director or co director ( can’t remember) at Mt Sinai in the spine surgery sept. All the reviews from patients were stellar . I said to myself “ Can all this be true? “ it sounds so perfect and speaks to exactly what I am looking for . I know in internet marketing etc friends write reviews but these are actual real patients with successful outcomes and yes he sends you to alternative treatments if he feels surgery not needed - . I thought - I better Search more and not jump at the first good one that I found. I did so but kept coming back to Dr McCance . Long story short -I was seen by a PA At Dr McCance office and I had the MRI that same day .Dr McCance himself called me saying I had a bacteria infection in compromised cervical vertebrate that was very dangerous and I should check into MT Sinai - my problem could quickly devolve into paralysis or other risks. I trusted him - so did my husband who is a scientist and engineer . Long story short - this doctor saved my life - his team held my hand at every juncture . The treatment was the best treatment I have ever received from a surgeon . His team of PAs Held me in their hands and supported me : Ryan Gunther -in my case - who was As knowledgeable as any doctor I have ever spoken to and watched over me until my neck was stable . This is my last day of wearing a Neck brace and I am starting to exercise again. omg the unbearable pain and infection in my neck is ALL gone. My neck feels so much stronger . Dr M had an infectious disease doctor on the case and operated on the cervical discs (a cage And bone graft put in and was put on serious antibiotics for the infection after scraping it out n surgery) . It was an ordeal which has resulted in a stronger neck free of pain wher I could have been paralyzed ! .soon I will be able to be back to my 4 day a week Pilates regimen and 5 day a week cardio exercise I have never received such great care in my life unless I paid out of pocket . This is not so here . Medicare and my secondary insurance covered it all. A team of nurses recommended by Dr McCance came for home care for about a month . I have watched this doctor and his staff treat everyone - every patient in their office - with the same skill and equanimity . I feel blessed and grateful that I found this team of skilled kind caring professionals . The metal cage and pin in my neck looked like the precision of a great surgeon and artist . The PA Ryan made sure I did everything in correctly to heal and checked in on my progress with regularity . Today after my final visit I was told I don’t have to wear the neck brace and I have no pain no bacteria .. it could have been very bad if I didn’t pay heed to the opinions of this care provider . I have had a lot of surgery for different things . I have never found such precision in surgery and lost medical care in another doctor . Dr McCance abs team give 800 percent 🙏I felt a need to share this since I was so frightened about this surgery .i am forever grateful ... the mechanics and humanity of office staff mirrors that of this wonderful physician and skilled surgeon who shows equanimity toward healing all his patients . Very overwhelmed here as today I received such good news from the doctor and I feel so very strong . 🌈🙏 kindness and great skill in one . What could be better !
