“The doctor was knowledable. Gave me trigger shots to help my pain. He ordered tests. He was nice. But a little short and seemed in a hurry. I asked for Tylenol 3. He said no. I was am taking way too much much Excedrin. I did not sign all the paperwork. Zocdoc said he took my insurance. The paperwork said he wasn’t in my network. So I don’t know if I can see him again. I will get the MRI. I will need an epidural shot but my insurance needs to pay for it. He mentioned trying massage , physical therapy. I said no and no. It puts me in more pain. I have not decided. He treated me at least but not sure about the rest. ”

Verified patient
One year ago I was referred to Dr. Simhaee, for treatment due to injuries sustained in a car accident. He was very empathetic to my pain, took his time and listened to what hails me. The course of treatment and care he is providing me is excellent. He lets me know what I’m doing wrong and corrects the problem . His office staff is very friendly and professional. I cannot ask for better care. Dr. Simhaee gets 10 stars from me. Anyone who gives him a negative rating must have been having a bad day and took their frustration out on him. A million kudos to Dr. Simhaee and his staff.

Very good doctor
I've been seeing Dr. Simhaee for the pat year, since a motor vehicle accident. He's really helped me out. A great listener. Respectful and makes just enough eye contact. He's stuck with me throughout the process. Took care of all my paperwork, discussed whatever needed to be done with my attorneys. Most importantly, he got me walking straight and pain free again. I trust him completely and would highly recommend him
Verified patient
Most compassionate professional doctor! It’s pain management and everyone is in pain coming to see him. He’s understanding and does everything he possibly can to make you comfortable. I have been seeing him for two years (not regularly) since he does help with my pain but when I do something stupid that triggers it back he’s always there and understanding! Al

My entire experience at the office of Dr. Simhaee was incredible! It was a simple process to make my appointment over the phone with welcoming staff when I walked in for my first appointment. The waiting room was full which is comforting, meaning it may be worth the wait. I was taken in within minutes while still filling out my paperwork, which the Medical assistant helped me finish. All my records were prepared for the Doctor accordingly. Dr. Simhaee entered my exam room and already knew my history so that we could briefly go over what had already been told with the assistant prior. I was very pleased with not having to repeat myself and only having to finish a physical exam and diagnosis. The Doctor took his time to look over my MRIs that I had done one year ago and was explained to exactly what my diagnosis is. I was informed of what treatments are available for my condition and given the better knowledge to try avoiding having to jump into a procedure and/or any surgery in the near future. I am also trying to avoid any pain medication and actually trying to better my condition with strengthening and if needed injections. Dr. Simhaee was very caring with my concerns and made me feel better by sending me to physical therapy and the option of anti-inflammatory as needed. The options of me wanting an epidural or trigger injections are also available to me if therapy does not help. Thank You Dr. Simhaee and The Center for Musculoskeletal Disorders Staff, I will most definitely be following up!
Verified patient
WOW!!! This was my follow up visit. Dr. Simhaee gave me an injection last week. He was confidant it would work but I had no idea it would be this good. The injection barely hurt, it was a small pinch, literally took a few seconds. I can honestly say, I am 100% better. As if I never had the pain before. I am ecstatic and grateful!!
Verified patient
Dr. Simhaee is a great doctor. He listened to all my concerns and answered all of my questions. I was called in right away and didn't have to wait long. His office is very clean and the staff is very friendly and professional. I will definitely be referring him to friends and family.
Verified patient
Dr. Simhaee is an incredible doctor! I came to the office a few weeks with my MRI due to my back pain and he thoroughly took his time to explain my diagnosis and treatment options. I've had two epidural injections since then and I am pain free at the moment! His bedside manner is incredible, a true gentleman and knows how to talk to people. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is in pain!
Verified patient
Third time i came to see Dr. Simhaee and each time I was more and more impressed. His office is nice, staff is friendly, the doctor himself is punctual and kind. Spent a good amount of time getting my history and examining me. He sent me for therapy and imaging, and just today I did my knee injection.So far, so good. He also went helped me with all the paperwork I needed done. Very impressed and pleased. Will certainly return!
Verified patient
The doctor saw me for 3 minutes asked my problem never examined me and asked me to raise my arms ans then sent me for an MRI .Horrible doctor never again
Dr Simhaee is not thorough and uncaring. I went to him in severe pain and he did not examine me, did not talk to me and did not prescribe any medication or treatments. When I did the tests he asked and came back he named two other conditions in addition to the one i came in with and said they were “no big deal” and offered me no treatment. He spent all of five minutes with me the first time and two minutes with me the second time. He actually prescribed me shots for having pain running down my legs. I told him multiple times I didn’t have pain running down my legs. When I told him about where my pain was and asked him questions, he told me good bye and walked out of the office! Very rude. I won’t be recommending him nor will I be returning.
He barely saw me. Asked a couple questions and then asked for a discount from the company I work for when I’ve been in pain for such a long time. Nurse seem to mock my history of depression. I came here because of the great reviews and took the bus an hour and a half. I’m really disappointed.
If there is a perfect physician, Doctor Simhaee is the one. I have been to so many doctors and he is really the only one that showed me sincerity and he is doing everything he can to make me better. I will continue seeing him as needed and look forward to continued relief

Dr. Jonathan Simhaee and the staff at The Queens Center for Musculoskeletal Disorders in Forest Hill Queens are outstanding. They are caring and extremely professional. My experience there was pleasant and fast. In January, I had a bilateral MBB (Medial Branch Block) on my lower back. The procedure was quick and painless and now, I have never felt better. Dr. Simhaee was knowledgeable and very helpful in explaining what to expect before and after the procedure. I would highly recommend him and his office to anyone in need of relieving their back pain.
