Dr. Stephen Massimi, MD

Fantastic!

Dr. Massimi is a prime example of why HSS maintains their reputation as one of the leading hospitals in the world. Before discovering him I spent a full year suffering from upper back pain. Initially an orthopedic surgeon at ONS Greenwich diagnosed me with having a fractured transverse process and subsequent bone marrow edema and had me rest for a while before a month of PT. He ultimately ran out of ideas and I was back to the drawing board until I met with Dr. Massimi. It was immediately evident that he truly empathized with my dilemma and I was impressed with his assistant's note taking and laser focus with respect to ALL the details of my symptoms. Ultimately due to Dr. Massimi’s attention to detail, caliber of knowledge and deep network of surgeons to consult with as well as the superior scanning technology at HSS it only took him 3 weeks to figure out a benign tumor was the culprit. He swiftly referred me to the right surgeon and now the nightmare is finally over!

Dr. Massimi is incredible- knowledgeable, kind, patient, clever, thorough and on time. Add to these outstanding qualities superb clinical skills and a devotion to his patients and his craft. I’ve been under his excellent care for about five years. He has successfully treated me for pain originating in my spine and both hips. I promise you can rely on his expertise, honesty and genuine concern for your health and well-being. His support staff are outstanding and go out of their way to help.

I am mostly pain free now; my experience with Dr. Massimi was outstanding: personable, kind and very knowledgeable. I began by wanting competent and got so much more. Go to him if you can.
