Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I went to him in Dec 2019 , I was losing use of my hands, couldn’t bend my arms without losing feeling in them, or hold my head up by the end of the day, creating a tremendous amount of pain in my back, arms and legs, I was told by another doctor “lots of people have necks like yours and don’t have all those problems “- that doctor suggested I go to pain management & likely had fibromyalgia- told me that I could find someone to do surgery but it likely wouldn’t help. I am a military veteran & I suffered more than 20 years with issues & left there broken hearted , feeling like my life was pretty much over. I decided to get a second opinion and went to see Dr. D’Agustino who listened & did the surgery- afterwards it took me about a year to recover & now 4 years later I am pain free, able to use my arms -resumed an active lifestyle I lost due to the awful pain I was in. After using nsaids, muscle relaxers for nearly 20 years and multiple pain injections- I am COMPLETELY pain medicine FREE , including nsaids. I can sleep all night instead of waking up every hour or so, I can bend my arms without losing feeling in them. My neck issues and pain were so bad I didn’t even realize I had a nearly complete rotator tear in my shoulder until I was doing much better from my neck surgery & got it checked on just in case. Since my fusion and shoulder surgeries, I’m able to get into a better physical condition and take care of my health. Thanks to Dr. Sabino D’Agostino I have gotten the life I wanted back, I can hike, swim & play with my grandkids, travel long distances , sew and craft, ride our motorcycle with my spouse and do so many things I wasn’t able to before ( like even cut my own food). I have gained my life back. I am so grateful for him and his practice.

marriage SAVER
Dr. D is a marriage saver. I had so much back pain that I would bark at my wife. Went to see Dr.D after being seen at the Spine Institute for over a year. My first visit with Dr.D was simple, he looked at my MRI let me know what he would do to help me. Less down time, less incisions and closer to home. He Fused and pined L-3 & 4 , the pain he said I would have was real, but it only lasted about 3 days, then each day it was less pain. ( still not as bad as I went through for over a year) It has been a year now, no more pain! The hardest that I had to do is pay attention to what I was doing, bending, lifting etc. Thanks to Dr.D I have my live and my wife back. It is only scary when you hear you need back surgery , fusion, rods and pins. The no more pain whips that away.

Great result from lumbar fusion!
I am a retired physician, suffering from degenerative arthritis of the spine for many years. I have had numerous cervical and lumbar spine operations. Last fall I lifted a heavy cooler and ruptured "the last good disc" in my lumbar spine. The pain was immediate and excruciating. Dr. D recommended a robotic fusion with laminectomy, which he performed on Dec. 7, 2022. The procedure took five hours, and the post-op period was rough, but I went home after two nights in the hospital. Two weeks later I was free of pain, and I remain so today. Dr. D and his nurse, Amanda, were competent, attentive, and professional. I am lucky to have him. Please do not pay any attention to any detractors here....some people cannot be satisfied! Like all neurosurgeons, he cannot guarantee results, but his skill level is top-notch and he is truly interested in the welfare of his patients.

I would like to thank Dr. D so much for making me feel better than I have felt in a very long time. I still have pressure on my lower back but that is nothing like what I felt before. Thank you so much again Dr. D.

January 2010 Dr. D' Agostino saved my life. I had been to several doctors, several emergency rooms with severe headache troubles where I was giving pain meds and sent home. Dr. D' Agostino made the decision to perform an an emergency brain surgery/operation a mere 3 hrs from the first time we met. Brain aneurysm or stroke would have undoubtedly been my future had he not acted immediately and took action.......SAY THIS GUY IS GOOD!!! If a neurosurgeon is what you need in your life Dr. D'Agostino is the best and anybody in a situation calling for his type of service-his expertise and experience put him up at the top of his field! I know this review doesn't make up for not making a single payment to the doctor but if he should ever read this...THANKS BROTHER -GOD BLESS YOU

My mother had spinal surgery with Dr D’Agostino on March 13,2019 and that is the last time she saw his face. Pre op went well and she was very confident in her decision with choosing him but the post op care has been nothing but a nightmare! The lack of communication with him and is staff is beyond unprofessional! He can care less about his patients after surgery. I would NEVER recommend this place!

D'agostino Is a awesome Dr who knows what he is doing in the surgery room and in the office .D'agostino had installed the new Intellis platform spinal cord stimulator in my neck and lower back in October 2017. D'agostinos office staff and himself is 2nd to none. If you have back problems that need to be addressed than D'agostino is the one to call upon. I would recommend no other. I thank Dr D'agostino his staff for everything and wish them a happy and safe Thanksgiving.Sincerely Jeff Harrington

Unless the diagnostic is easy and clear he will not even bother to show interest or treat you. He told me nerve conduction studies were useless. He ordered an MRI, it took his office 4 weeks to process. They were very rude. For three weekes ignored calls inquiring about the results. The day before my follow up his office called to say the MRI did not show anything and he could not offer me help. Another doctor found the problem (disc hernia) after ordering a nerve study. Don't waste your time

It had to take 13 days for him to call me back from the second time I pleaded with his office to have someone call me and I am not happy with it. He seems to ignore a lot of my concerns and now I am forced to go back to work, because of the lack of communication and I am very disappointed in him and his office. I will not recommend them. I have to beg his office and still no reply back even within 72 hrs no return phone call. HOW SAD! ! They rarely keep their word!

I was referred to him during an emergency situation in the hospital. He came into pre-op and explained why I should not have the planned surgery. He gave me and my husband enough information to make a good decision and immediately agreed for him to do a major surgery the following week. Not every surgery will give the planned results but you can count on Dr. D. to do his best. His staff is very encouraging and helpful.
