“I went in for treatment of back pain, which often makes me quite nervous. However, Dr. Mehta was incredibly calm and reassuring, taking the time to explain every step of the process. This made me feel much more comfortable and informed about my treatment. It was very easy to book an appointment, and was seen right away, not left in the waiting room for hours like some other places. Back pain is one of the worst most annoying pain to have to deal with and I'm so thankful to have found Dr Mehta and finally being able to heal from this back pain!!
The office itself was spotless, which added to my overall positive impression. It's clear that they prioritize cleanliness and patient care. I left feeling so relieved, I highly recommend Dr Mehta to anyone dealing with any type of pain!”

I had recently finished my three visits with Dr. Mehta for my chronic back and leg pain, and I must thank him for the wonderful care provided. Given that I had gone through numerous different treatments with other doctors, all of which had yielded little success, I was very disheartened, but I thank god for Dr. Mehta for turning my experience around completely. WOW!
In my very first meeting with him, he was very compassionate and kind which struck me the most. He was adamant in understanding not only my complaints but also how the pain affected normal life function.
Dr. Mehta made a treatment plan that suited my needs. I was glad that he did not simply jump to the most drastic measures but instead offered a variety of treatment options.
If you’re struggling with chronic pain and are looking for a doctor who will listen, work with you, and deliver results, I cannot recommend Dr. Mehta highly enough.
October 7, 2024Tony S.Verified patient
my time got wasted because of zocdoc.. i drove 45 min to the appointment, and they had no idea that i was even booked (despite showing them the confirmation), and couldn't accommodate me..
August 27, 2024Sean S.Verified patient

I felt that medication could have been prescribed by my primary physician. I was expecting an interactive visit but the MD visit took about 5 minutes. She prescribed pain meds ,possible MRI and to return in 4 weeks.

Great experience all around! Dr Mehta is very personable and a great listener, which is rare nowadays. He explains everything in details and never felt rush. I highly recommend Mr.Mehta if you're in pain or need a second opinion.
October 17, 2023Christine K.Verified patient
Had a great appointment with Dr. Mehta! He listened to my very detailed narration of my injury and symptoms, prescribed me medication at a pharmacy where I could easily pick it up, sent me to get an MRI, and sent me information about exercises to do. Dr. Mehta was very responsive, helpful, and respectful, and I look forward to seeing him again at my follow up appointment.

Amazing doctor. I came in with short notice during a crisis and they were very accommodating. He later scheduled me with an incredible physical therapist and follows up regularly via phone. The whole process was incredibly smooth and an overall very positive experience.

Great doctor. Gave me the time of day. Didn't feel rushed at all. Seemed to be doing a thorough and careful job. Used models to carefully explain his theory after the exam so that I would understand what might be happening and why. Friendly.

Dr. Mehta was very generous with his time and was happy to answer all of my questions without ever making me feel rushed or judged. Unlike some other doctors I've been to in NYC recently, he seemed to genuinely want to listen to me and fully understand my condition and help me. I appreciated the extent that he was willing to explain his thoughts about my problem, and articulate his solutions.
I would highly recommend Dr. Mehta.

He was very kind and attentive and listened to everything I had to say. I had a pretty sketchy experience with a chiropractor and he made me feel at ease with his knowledge and experience. Definitely recommend seeing a real MD and I 100% recommend him! He has a really excellent staff too.
