I found the Advanced Spine Center online and their website explained everything I was going through with nerve pain from collapsed discs in my neck. My phone call to Advanced Spine Center and everyone of the staff members, including Dr. Lowenstein was so helpful and professional. Highly recommend this practice.

To say that my family was fortunate to have met Dr. Lowenstein, his Physician Assistants, and his team of professionals would be an understatement. From our very first appointment in February of 2023, we knew we were in very capable hands. Dr. Lowenstein diagnosed my then eleven year old son with a high grade spondylolisthesis and thoroughly explained to us why surgery was necessary to correct his condition. We scheduled his surgery for March 16, 2023. The procedure was very lengthy, but Dr. Lowenstein and his team calmed our nerves and kept us updated on how our son was doing throughout the surgery. After the surgery was complete, Dr. Lowenstein and his team visited my son multiple times a day while he was in the hospital to check on both his physical and mental progress. The surgery was a complete success. My son is no longer in any pain and continues to get better every day! We were very blessed to have our son in Dr. Lowenstein’s care. We think very highly of him and his entire staff and would recommend using him with hesitation!

Met with Dr Lowenstein back in January, he was informative and talked me through my situation and options. He performed surgery in early Feb which was successful and he and his team have been working with me throughout my recovery. Recovery is long w nerve pain but he and his team have been there answering questions and supporting me.

I had a great experience with the whole Team at the Advanced Spine Center. From check in, which went smoothly and I didn't have to wait long at all, to Richard explaining my Insurance coverage, to the associates taking my x-rays, to the Physician's Assistant Tonya who went over my x-rays and MRI in detail and then performed a physical to test my strength and mobility. She was awesome and very patient with me. Then of course, Dr. Gatto who understood what I already tried and talked me through my options and what his best recommendations would be. I am only at the beginning of my treatment with him but so far, he has turned my pessimism into optimism.
