NSPC Brain & Spine Surgery has been ranked as the #1 Neurosurgery Practice Group in New York State for the third consecutive year according to the Castle Connolly Accolades survey, while also securing a position among the Top 10 Private Practices nationally for neurological surgery. This recognition stems from Castle Connolly's national survey that identifies groups with the highest concentration of peer-nominated physicians, serving as a benchmark for healthcare excellence. Steve Leibforth, Castle Connolly's Managing Director, emphasized the significance of this recognition, stating that it provides trusted third-party validation for patients making healthcare decisions.
Michael H. Brisman, M.D., F.A.C.S., chief executive officer of the Rockville Centre-based practice, expressed pride in the achievement, noting that this recognition confirms the practice's 68-year commitment to patient care and excellence in spine and brain surgery. NSPC is Long Island's largest private practice neurosurgical group, with 11 physicians and seven offices across Long Island and Manhattan. The practice's Castle Connolly Top Doctors include specialists in cerebrovascular, spine, and brain surgery who employ advanced procedures including "bloodless" stereotactic brain surgery and minimally invasive spine surgery to treat conditions like brain tumors, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and trigeminal neuralgia.
Castle Connolly has been identifying Top Doctors for over 35 years through a rigorous process based on peer nominations, professional achievements, and excellence in patient care. Each nomination is screened by a physician-led research team, ensuring that honorees exemplify high standards of expertise and integrity, with doctors unable to pay for selection to maintain the list's credibility.
