Dr Eidelson along with his office staff are the best. I was afraid to have lower back surgery but the doctor assured me it was the right thing to do with the amount of issues I had. The procedure went well and I was walking in 24hrs. I am so happy not to have the dehabilitating pain I had before and we on my way to a pain free life!

I was in excruciating sciatic pain down my right leg and losing function in that leg when Dr. Stewart Eidelson operated on me at Delray Medical Center on March 16, 2001. I went into the hospital in a wheel chair and came out of lumbar spine surgery with the sciatica totally gone. It’s been 4 months and my right leg is pain free. To experience such immediate pain relief from Dr. Eidelson’s talent, skill and training is like a miracle and I am so grateful for his expertise. I am 77 years old and my lumbar diagnoses were multilevel complex spondylosis with myelopathy, complex central and lateral recess stenosis and spondylolisthesis. Dr. Eidelson’s procedures included laminectomies, inter body fusions, pro lift cage placement, bone graft harvest, rhizotomy, ATEC pedicle system fixation and decompression of nerve roots and spinal cord in a multilevel revision surgery. His office staff are a pleasure to work with. Kind, smiling, compassionate and competent just like Dr. Eidelson is. That is what everyone needs when they are in pain and feeling hopeless. The office physical therapist, Vince Forzano, worked with me for weeks to get me more physically fit. He gives you information you need to know. I am so grateful that I chose Dr Eidelson and his office. He is the very best spine surgeon!

I came in after experiencing horrible back pains after a surgery that didnt go well 10 years ago with a different doctor. Dr eidelson treated me and I feel a whole lot better. Pain level is way down and I am so excited about the results.

I had back surgery radiating down my leg that started in pregnancy about 2 years ago. I couldnt bare the pain and I would spend most of my days going to therapy with no luck. I met Dr. Eidelson and immediately felt like he understood my pain. I had surgery with him 5 months ago, it was minimal and my pain was gone as soon as I woke up from surgery. Thanks to him, Im able to enjoy life with my kids and husband with no back pain. Highly recommended!

When I first started seeing Dr Eidelson I had severe lower back problems and was treated with an injection that proved to be very successful. I have also had physical therapy with his staff over the past several months and it has improved my lower back condition.

I went to Dr. Eidelson as a referral from a friend. She’s in her late 70’s and after her surgery, she joined the Florida Follies dance group. I have had back problems all my life. All anyone ever wanted to do was send me to PT. Years of PT later, I was in horrible pain in lumbar and sciatic nerve. I am 2 months post up and my back feels better than I can even remember. I would recommend Dr. Eidelson very highly.Thank you Dr. Eidelson! ❤️

I had the entire Lumbar surgery, multiple fusions, etc. last year in August 2019. All of the pain in my legs is gone.The only pain is in my back after bending while shaving or brushing my teeth. Overall, I am very happy and I would go to Dr Eidelson again. He is the best.

When I first went to see Dr. Eidelson I had severe lower back pain and difficulty sitting, standing, walking or sleeping. He performed surgery that allowed me to walk out of the hospital near pain free after just a few days. 8 years after the surgery I started having issues with Sciatica pain. I received a series of shots from Dr. Eidelson which gave me some relief. I was scheduled for a Radio Frequency Ablation on my lower back with Dr. Reuter . I am again pain free. I would highly recommend this practice!Follow up 10/04/21 - A year after my initial review I am still pain free without medication.

I visited Dr. Eidelson in an excruciating amount of pain. After a series of injections and office visits I am nearly pain free and I’m grateful for the TLC and competence of the doctor and every staff member there. Thus far I’ve avoided surgery and hope to do so in the future. I highly recommend Dr. Eidelson for any spinal injury or pain that you have endured.

I would like to revisit my comments made earlier. Dr. Eidelson is an excellent surgeon and i would recommend him highly. I appreciate that he took time out of his busy schedule to apologize to me. It meant alot to me that he really cared. Thank you Dr. Eidelson from the bottom of my heart. You are the best.

There is no other doctor I’d allow toOperate on my back. Dr Eidelson and his staff took the best care of me.I had surgery 12 years ago and then again this past june. It’s unbelievable how different an experience I had. Had I gone to Dr Eidelson in the first place I never would have needed another surgery. This Doctor did a revision and double fusion and i am the most comfortable I’ve been in 13 years. I truly believe this doctor kept me from ending up in a wheelchair.I live 35 minutes away from his office and there are plenty of great doctors in my area. None measured up to this doctor and his staff. I never recommend restaurants or doctors toPeople because u never know if their experience will be positive. In this case I would easily recommend Dr Eidelson And know they would be in great hands.His staff and nurse also get 5 stars as they were all were excellent.

For over five years my wife dealt with ever-increasing levels of back pain and disruptions in activities of daily living. Walking became more painful, sitting for more than a few minutes would lead to excruciating bolts of pain shooting down her leg. We became more home-bound and contact with our social network withered.She had resisted surgery all this time because her prior minimally invasive surgery made things worse. NO more surgery! Eventually, she came to realize she had to have revision surgery and fortunately she was referred to Dr. Eidelson.No more shooting pains down her leg. She can walk pain free. Her hobbies are again enjoyable. We see friends, we go out for dinner, we go to entertainment events. She controls her life now, not pain.Dont rule out surgery automatically. Hear what he has to say about your situation. Youll never know if he can help you or not until you ask. Hell give you a straight answer.

After working in the automotive and light truck repair business for almost forty years my lower back was in very bad condition . it started with an injury about thirty years ago while lifting some truck tires . since that day my back was never the same . I have been to many chiropractors and therapists over the years and I would ocassionally get some relief but eventually the pain would increase . Three years ago I went to see an orthopedic and was diagnosed with spinal stenosis and told that I needed spinal fusion .I didnt want to have the surgery and could not take off work for the amount of time needed to recover . Last August I reinjured my lower back and could barely move . After going through workmens comp for about 3 months and seeing their doctors they acknowledged that I needed spinal fusion but would not pay for it . I decided to go through our personal health insurance and chose Dr. Eidelson because he had done surgery on a family friend nine years ago and it turned out great . Im so glad we chose him . Hes the best spine surgeon in Florida . he did a multi level laminectomy and fusion and everything went well and I am recovering well . I have alot less pain and my back is straight . I wont be able to go back to a strenuous job like I had but my quality of life is so much better . Thank you to Dr. Eidelson and his staff at his office and at the hospital .

He is a great surgeon and my back was and still is excellent. Do not expect a warm response. He’s “too busy” to talk and requests contact by TEXT! Maybe he spends too much time in his airplane.

This replaces a review posted in error a few weeks ago. The whole staff here, from Carol in reception, to Judy and Vivianne make you feel welcome and comfortable. The group of Dr.’s are all skilled and receptive and Dr. Eidelson leads the whole clinic like a ring leader. My specific case is a complicated one and the surgery he performed was difficult and skillful. As he says, “I’m not out of the woods yet” but I am confident that I am in good hands.

I had a difficult case that lingered for years. I chose Dr. Eidelson to perform my surgery because I felt he had a certain level of arrogance that exuded confidence, and that was comforting to me. They say a surgeon should have heart of a lion, the hand of a woman, and the eye of an eagle. And that is what you get with Dr. Eidelson. To add, The office staff is very friendly. In particular Carol who greets every person with a warm reassuring smile. Here I am nearly two weeks post op, and I feel Great! Thank you Dr. Eidelson, and staff!

Everyone was fabulous associated with Dr. Eidelson. My back surgery was much easier than my last surgery. I had a much better outcome and a much faster recovery.

He ( Dr. Eidelson) may have been a good doctor at one time but he should retire. Very poor communication with the patients. Last office visit with Dr. Reuter was successful in taking care of my back pain. Todays visit, with Eidelson asked whether to continue taking the last 2 prescriptions or to stop, was not given a good response. After his 2 minutes with me, he left the room. I heard him tell the nurse that room #4 was done, to get me out of there and get someone else in there . Sounds like a production line to me. I will not be returning to this practice.

Surgery by Dr.Eidelson was life changing! There was no getting away from surgery. I reviewed him before I came and the reviews were so positive that I knew I was making the right choice in an orthopedic surgeon. The pain I had in my back was far greater than the fear I had of surgery. I had an extensive operation that lasted a little longer than most, but it was so worth it. I feel better than I ever thought I ever would. Im sitting straighter, Im walking straighter and I feel great.

Review №31

After thirty plus years as a refrigeration mechanic servicing supermarkets, plastic production facilities, cooling towers, compressors, pumps and chilled water systems that required a day in day out of heavy lifting, ladders, toting a bucket of tools weighing in excess of 60lbs, my lower back was trashed, the chronic pain totally unbearable. And I had run the gamut of “ back doctors”.I limped into Dr Eidelson’s office, dragging my left foot.After an extremely thorough review of x rays, MRI’s, and an analysis to match the review,the good Doctor sat down with me and took me through the damage, the treatment options,and the probabilities of success for each option.Admittedly because of the severity of the damage to the lumbar region of my spine, the options were limited. I knew that going into this.What I didn’t know before this first encounter was I was to meet, accept and trust a master craftsmen and innovator, totally dedicated to his discipline. I had found the mechanic I needed.Under Doc Eidelson’s care and skilled hands I had the required surgery. Like so many folks with back ailments I had heard and said “oh no! I’m not letting anyone cut into my back!!”.I was up and walking (much to the concern of the nursing staff) With two good legs that evening. Yes, that evening after a major effort to overhaul what was left of my lower back.Follow up care and rehab we’re handled by his very competent and amicable office staff and professionals who support his quest in providing the best available techniques, diagnostics and care.Thank you Dr Stewart Eidelson.I wish you continued success.I’m glad I put my trust in you.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Eidelson! I had to stop in Atlanta on my way to relocate to Florida to see a back doctor as I could not even walk. He told me that the only way my back would get better was through surgery. When I contacted Dr. Eidelson upon my arrival in Delray Beach I was prepared for the worst and was pleasantly surprised when he said we dont mention the S word in this office unless all else fails - and believe me there are lots of other options in Dr. Eidelsons book! I am now paid free, straight as an arrow and moving like I did in my 20s! Dr. Eidelson is a lifesaver!!

My boyfriends spine was the worst Dr. Eidelson had ever seen for someone Kevins age, 60 yo. He could not walk even one block in these last few months. AFTER spine surgery done by Dr. Eidelson, Kevin is pain free and its only 13 days post surgery! We both are amazed that in our present healthcare environment, we found a doctor so passionate about helping his patients. He even told me to call him if we need him on his cell phone. Dr. Eidelsons being so accessible to his patients really impressed us. We absolutely would recommend Dr. Eidelson for those with spine issues!

Dr. Eidelson is the best orthopedic surgeon for spine in Florida. He has done surgery on me twice and I would never have anyone else operate on my spine other than him. He has taken my pain away and allowed me to walk again and all I can say is I love this man hes brilliant, he tells you how it is and what hes going to do, and he follows through. I am now getting out of the hospital tomorrow after my second surgery and except for surgical pain my other pain is gone. The surgical pain will go away.

I went to Dr. Eidelson for a second opinion after another surgeon recommended 4-level lumbar fusion. Dr. Eidelson followed a much more conservative treatment. After a series of injections and PT, my symptoms have pretty much disappeared, with no surgery on the horizon. I especially want to note the excellent work of physical therapist Vince Forzano. He really cares about teaching patients the right way to do exercises, to build muscle and protect the spine. My strength and energy also improved greatly working with Vince. The methods he taught me will provide lifelong benefits.

Dr. Eidelson is the most skillful doctor I have seen for shots in my back. His injections were relatively painless and gave me relief which enabled me to pursue every day activities.

Review №53

Dr. Eidelson is a miracle-worker, and Im not exaggerating. I am a 42-year old healthy and physically active woman who has been massaging and ballet dancing for many years. I woke up one morning and could not walk upright, I was literally bent at the waist at a 90-degree angle and could not straighten back up. I had to sleep in a recliner sitting up and had to use a walker to get around my house. I tried to wait it out, hoping this was just a severe spasm that would eventually release, but after a few days I couldnt take the excruciating pain anymore, it traveled from my lower back down my left leg to my ankle. On recommendation from one of my clients, I contacted Dr. Eidelsons office. Dr. Eidelson, Dr. Burack, and all of the staff (front desk, nurses, etc) couldnt have been more helpful and kind. Everyone took such good care of me. Dr. Eidelson believes in taking the most conservative approach to pain management, only using surgery as an absolute last resort when nothing else will work. We tried everything we could to reduce my pain, but it got to the point where nothing worked and my pain had become unbearable. For the 2nd time in one week, I wound up in the E R. I had to have an emergency laminectomy and discectomy. Dr. Eidelson is like no doctor Ive ever met. I was absolutely terrified of having surgery, so much so that when the E.R. nurse told me I was being admitted for emergency surgery, I was literally shaking. But Dr. Eidelson was right there with me every step of the way. He even gives you his personal number, so if you have any questions or concerns post-op, he is right there to help you. He will even check in on you post-op to make sure you are feeling ok. They dont make doctors/surgeons like this anymore, he is the standard to which all other doctors should aspire to. Just a kind, caring person who loves what he does and truly cares about his patients. I am happy to report, its been only 2 weeks since my surgery and I am pain-free! I dont take any pain medications or anti-inflammatories and I am already back to my daily routines! I am now able to walk my dogs for a mile, cook, clean, go back to work to massage, I am absolutely amazed at how fast I have recovered. I am so blessed and full of gratitude to have met Dr. Eidelson and his staff, I honestly dont know what I would have done without them.

Dr Eidelson is a miracle worker. My mother Marilyn was in such excruciating pain she was at her wits end and depressed over her compromised life style. After the surgery she was up and going in two days in disbelief she was pain free. My mother had spinal stenosis and she had visited many other doctors receiving countless injections with no relief. That surgery was 2 years again at age 84 she is 86 and doing spectacular and still no pain.

I am beyond impressed with my experience with Dr. Eidelson and his group and I would highly recommend them!The front desk staff are very courteous, helpful and kind. I met and utilized other Drs in the group and it was comforting to know that they communicate well as a team to get me organized for my Lumbar Laminectomy.Before scheduling me for surgery, Dr. Eidelson had me read his book on spinal surgeries and review his procedures for pre- and post- surgery. He also encouraged me to get a second opinion and research his background as a spinal surgeon before I made a decision to have the surgery. I felt very confident making the decision to have the surgery with Dr. Eidelson.It is 2 1/2 weeks since my Lumbar Laminectomy and I am recuperating at a slow and steady pace. Luckily, I have had very little pain and was able to go off the prescription pain medicine after 10 days. I have seen Dr. Eidelson twice already as he is very concerned with his patients and their post-surgical well being.I feel lucky that I had such a wonderful dr for my surgery and I highly recommend Dr. Eidelson and his medical group for yours!

Five years ago my husband could barely walk due to spinal cord and spinal nerve compression caused by severe spinal stenosis. My husband, Jud Carlson, who has been an executive in the spinal surgery market for over 30 years chose Dr; Stewart Eidelson for treatment and Dr; Eidelson performed a multi-level surgical decompression with a fusion at L4-5., requiring 5 hours of surgery. After a few months of recovery and an exercise program, Jud was able to regain 90% or motor skills and returned to tennis. ;Now at 76, he still is very active. Thanks, Dr. E.

Review №69

Well, I fought the good fight and had done all I can. Rehab, 3 times a week, Pool Exercising, Nerve Blocks. After about 4 months of on and off excruciating pain I had decided it was time for another alternative. Sadly, I was ready for Surgery. My husband had done all the shopping and shuttling me back and forth to Doctors and Rehab. I had not been in a store, other than a Pharmacy, in all this time. I sometimes could not even stand in the kitchen to cook meals, let alone do daily chores. Driving had been “iffy” depending on whether or not I was experiencing a “flair up”. So...........It was time………..When you can’t walk outside to even check on your garden?........ well, it basically is no way to live.So... I made a Consultation Appointment with Dr. Eidelson in Delray Beach. I was lucky to get in! He has a practice here and also in Manhattan. His reputation seemed better than the Ortho Institute I was using.Dr. Eidelson looked at my MRI and said “I am going to do everything so that you do not need surgery”. I started crying and my husband explained that we thought we had done everything. We went there with the idea that we were going to get an evaluation for Surgery. My previous Ortho stated “It’s just a small matter. Nothing to it!” Unquote.Dr Eidelson said, “Your Spine is out of Alignment. I would have to put a steel rod in your back.” “OUCH!”OK............We then get a packet including the book he wrote on Spinal Stenosis. Then he asks where my back brace is. “HUH?” Out come his assistants and they fit me for a very comfy brace. It feels so good. He then proceeds to ask me if I have tried a block. “Yup” and I’m supposed to go into the hospital for another tomorrow”, I replied. He then said that HE was going to give me the shot, right then and there in his office.What? No Hospital? No Fasting? No IVs? No Oxygen? No Hospital Gowns and Hairnets? OK, you get my point. I was terrified.After extensive Xrays, His Nurse lays me down on a massage table, pulls up my shirt, lowers my shorts and Done. No pain.I think you are starting to get the moral of the story. Dr. Eidelson does not have a Fancy, Ortho Mill. The Hospital was not necessary @ $3,000 a Pop. This Dr. Injected me in an entirely different place on my back!So the PS is I cancelled the Hospital Shot for the next day. I’m sitting now, here in my brace, with greatly reduced pain. I guess we will see. Do I like the brace? Yes, it feels good. Do I care what it looks like? At this point, “No”.Dr. Eidelson was the first Dr. who really helped me. Highly recommend!

Dr Eidelson helped my friend Helene become essentially pain free after suffering for over 8 years of back pain from a previous surgery. She had two previous surgeries to correct a herniated disc, but the surgeon failed to decompress her spine, leaving her in severe pain.After surgery, Helene was walking without assistance within 3-4 weeks and currently has very low residual pain levels (1-2) after 5 months.Dr Eidelson, his staff and associates are professional, skilled and caring people. Thank you all.

Simply stated, Dr.Eidelson is a true God send. My husband Jason is 41 and had already had 2 surgeries on the L4/L5/S1 due to Stenosis, degenerative disc disease and extreme sciatic nerve pain. The surgeries left a lot of scar tissue, contributing to the sciatic pain. My husband went to 5 surgeons to get opinions and thank God we found Dr. Eidelson!! Best doctor we’ve ever met, down to earth, extremely smart and takes time to educate the patient. Jason’s pain went from off the scale most of the time (even with pain medication) to almost completely pain free now!! We are one week post-op and he’s feeling and walking better than he has in years. I was having to help him put his shoes and socks on some mornings because of the pain before we met Dr.Eidelson. It was a difficult surgery other surgeons said couldn’t be done. Thank you Dr. Eidelson and staff for giving me my husband and our kids their dad back!

I have never trusted a doctor as much Dr. Eidelson! He listens to me even when the screens dont support my pain. In my case I am 49 yrs old and have had a series of events that supported several surgeries resulting in screws and rods in my lower back. I can text him anytime with good news or bad news as to my condition! Never met a doctor in my life that gives me full access to him at anytime with his cell number. The girls in the office are very caring and concerned especially Michelle and Carol, they are the front office faces of this operation! I truly believe that if I would of landed in someone elses hands my quality of life would be in question. Believe in Dr. Eidelson he is beyond wonderful as a caring surgeon and person.

My husband suffered with lower back pain for months and refused to see an orthopedist as he was sure surgery would be recommended. On the advice of a friend I finally convinced him to see Dr. Stewart Eidelson of Delray Beach. At that first appointment we were seen promptly and everybody was extremely courteous and friendly. The office is run like a well-oiled machine. We liked Dr. Eidelson immediately. We found him to be very caring and very thorough. He did not recommend surgery. In fact, he always tries to find other solutions before recommending surgery. When we left Dr. Eidelson provided us with his personal cell phone number just in case there were any issues. After being treated during that first visit my husbands pain was completely gone. We went back for a follow-up visit three weeks later and Dr. Eidelson was so glad my husband was pain free and had no further need of his services at this time.

I came to Dr eidelson for a second opinion, after being told I would need surgery by a different orthopedic surgeon. Mind you I was down from PA. as a winter resident and was not happy with the severe pàin I was experiencing. Meeting Dr E. was a godsend. He told me surgery was the last decision he would make and damn if he wasnt right. I have had a spinal fusion, discectomy and several facet injections over the last 2.5 yrs., still experiencing pain. All performed in PA. With promises of relief, no such luck. I brought my MRI,s and cat scans, after examining the results Dr E. decided to give me an injection. I immediately said to myself on no not this crap again , however I had no choice. The best thing I ever did. I had immediate relief which I did not expect , but sure enough I was walking swimming and enjoying life. Thank you Dr. E you do have an art and if I need another injection I will fly back down for an injection or surgery. Yes you are god and thank you so much for everything you have done.

As an electrical contractor I met Dr Eidelson 15 years ago. Thought out those years weve become friends and weve helped each other in multiple ways. In the time Ive known him he is the kindest and most caring man I have ever met. Give out your cell phone number to every single patient, un heard of but thats Dr Eidelson. Dr Eidelson worked extremely hard for almost 2 months to repair my problem with out surgery. When surgery was the alternative it was the smoothest experience Ive ever had. Thank you so much Dr Eidelson.I also want to acknowledge the extremely talented and professional staff working for Dr Eidelsons. Everyone makes the experience of being in your office so smooth. I just cant say enough. Thank you all so much for my new life pain free.

Surgery was very successful. A doctor who cares about his patients and is always available to answer all questions.

My back was in bad shape. I had spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis, diskherniation . Dr. Eidelson saved my life and made it possible for me to livewith no pain and the ability to walk again. The surgery was very complicated, it included a lumbar laminectomy on L2, L3, complex inter body fusion with Spine Arch Juliet cage, bone grafts and rhizotomy. I spent 5 days in the hospital being closely monitored. Then I spent 3 weeks in rehab, and with excellent care I was finally discharged. My wife communicated with him daily. I owe my life to Dr. Eidelson.

I have had back and sciatic pain for years. Pain became much worse in the last year. I researched all the spine surgeons and found Dr Eidelson to be the best back surgeon and most recommended. I had surgery last month with Dr. Eidelson and can honestly say I am thrilled that my pain is gone! He is extremely caring and professional and gives all his patients his cell number to call him anytime you need him! His office staff is also wonderful and extremely caring. I would recommend Dr. Eidelson to anyone suffering back pain to come see him.

Drs: Eidelson, Molesky and Geisse (who Ive seen thus far) are all the most competent and professional practitioners of lower back pain that Ive ever experienced. All other operations should be shut down and remodeled after these folks. Im a 12 years veteran of severe back pain, maybe I know a thing or two.

BE VERY CAREFUL! This doctor may have excellent credentials but it is an assembly line in his office! Dr Eidelson quickly laid me down, shot a cotisone needle in each side (Im certain he did not use a flueroscope), and he damaged my nerveI I was in agony for 2 months and my leg atrophied. The trauma caused a cyst to develop and another (wonderful) orthopedic surgeon, did a lamenectomy and removed the cyst. I still have weak left side, but I am human again.Stay away from this doctor at all costs!!

I have seen Dr. Eidelson for more than 9 years. As a health care provider myself, I can only say he is over the top . He is conservative in his treatment approach and gives out his cell phone so a patient never has to worry if they need a question answered after hours. He gets an A+Dr. M Weinman

For the past few years, it was increasingly difficult standing on my legs and even more challenging since I average presenting 150 financial literacy seminars each year. By December 2012, the day before I turned 60 resigned from the company to pursue my medical issues. Finally being diagnosis with Spinal Stenosis, a distinguish Rheumatologist strongly recommended consulting with Dr. Stewart Eidelson and the South Palm Orthospine Institute. My parents of blessed memory instilled in me every challenge is an opportunity and apparently Dr. Eidelson also believes in this tenet. Everyones situation is different and mine was certainly unique! After 5 hours of surgery and one of Dr. Eidelsons more interesting cases, total success with no pain or discomfort standing. A month later, Im walking 2 miles a day! Dr. Eidelson and the entire staff of South Palm Orthospine Institute are incredible and I will always be appreciative of giving back my quality of life.

I hobbled in his practice literally bent over at right angles through sciatica pain it is now 6 months since Dr Eidelson performed life changing surgery to my spine, I now walk upright with absolutely no pain whatsoever, I wish I could thank him more but he is a very busy man which obviously reflects his skill and success rate and means that he cannot spend too much time chatting when he needs to get to other patients, but I am eternally grateful to him and the staff around himI have had to have another surgery which has met with the same success as my previous operation, everything that i said in my 1st post goes for this time
