What Our Patients Say

Prior to becoming a patient of Dr. Birinyi, I had been to many doctors and specialists, had prior surgeries, and had many injections due to deteriorating vertebral structures. The pain was increasing year by year. At my first appointment, he proposed a comprehensive surgical intervention and explained in detail what to expect. Dr. Birinyi fused my thoracic and lumbar spine, my scoliosis was straightened and other structural problems were solved during one surgery. Within three months of the surgery, I was back to walking for exercise. Dr. Birinyi and his staff treated me with skill, kindness, and courtesy. I would highly recommend Dr. Birinyi.

What Our Patients Say

Dr. Birinyi is a very competent and caring neurosurgeon. He has done an excellent job in taking care of me both before and after my surgery. He takes his time and uses the necessary resources to ensure his patients receive the best possible care. Dr. Birinyi will point you in the right direction even if you do not need surgery. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing neurosurgical care. 5-star rating!

What Our Patients Say

I would like to thank Dr Birinyi for a wonderful job that he did. He was so informative about what was going on with me. I felt so calm. Thank you.

What Our Patients Say

The day of my surgery with Dr. Birinyi, I hobbled into the surgery center as an obese old man, bent over and in excruciating pain with the thought that I would be wheelchair-bound for the rest of my life. This all-encompassing back pain had reduced my quality of life. The day of the surgery, Dr. Birinyi greeted me professionally and cheerfully, explaining the risks and benefits of the surgery. He explained that my case was challenging, but he was confident. When I awoke from surgery, I was pain-free from the back issues that had plagued me for years. I could hardly believe that I was standing up and walking about. I was walking upright and pain-free for the first time in years. During my post-surgery recovery period, I did feel some pain and muscle spasms at the surgical site, but considering the pain I was going through prior to this life-changing surgery, I count myself blessed. Thank you, Dr. Birinyi! You helped change my life for the better.
