I’ve had neck pain (herniated discs) since around 2005 and always struggled through with a mixture of pain meds, PT, rest, pillows….you name it. Last summer 2017 it started to get much worse to the point my right arm had terrible pain in it and I was losing strength, my fingers on my right hand were going numb and the pain in my neck was excruciating, so I decided I had to see someone urgently.
I searched “best neck spinal surgeon in NY” over a weekend and did some surfing and Dr. McCance’s name continually came up for minimally invasive lumbar decompression surgery. I called Dr McCance’s office on the Monday and saw him the next day. He and his team immediately organized an MRI and X rays for the following day. Once he saw those he advised I could try more of the same of what I was doing, but he felt that surgery was the best option. He operated on me (and took my insurance) within approximately 3~4 weeks of me first seeing him and I am now around 9 weeks post op. The pain in my arm has gone, as has my neck pain and I have feeling back in my fingers again. The recovery was easy. I’m starting PT soon – the worst pain is now behind me and I’ll be much better than before (I still need to do PT).
If you have serious neck and back issues and need to see a doctor in NYC and you think you have a herniated disc, or you need a second opinion after seeing other doctors, then I thoroughly recommend seeing Dr. McCance. ~ Google
