Mark Lonstein MD PA

I saw Dr. Lonstein 5 years ago after several other orthopedic doctors had been unsuccessful treating me. He had the patience and experience to examine me more thoroughly than anyone before and he was able to help me. I was disabled and in pain when I saw him. Since I had the surgery he reommended, I have been pain-free and physically able to do things I couldn't do before. I am 80 years old and he greatly improved my life. His staff is efficient and caring.

Went to Dr Lonstein for diagnosis of my sciatic pain. Issue was addressed systematically with PT and scans and determined to be spinal stenosis. Treatment options and risks were clearly presented. I chose surgery -laminectomy- which was scheduled and performed in a fair time frame. Surgery was successful with 95% of function recovered; lingering foot insensitivity which may pass with time. This possibility was discussed prior to surgery and, otherwise, I have recovered my previous activity and general comfort levels.
