New York Center for Spinal Disorders
***The New York Center for Spinal Disorders is an out-of-network practice. We will, however, work very closely with your insurance company to ensure that you get the treatment and care you need.
At the forefront of spine surgery innovation, Neel P. Shah, MD brings together cutting-edge technology and compassionate care. As a board-certified orthopedic spine surgeon, he has dedicated his practice to advancing minimally invasive techniques that prioritize both precision and patient comfort. His expertise in microscopic spine surgery and motion preservation has established him as a leader in modern spinal care.
While mastering the complexities of advanced spine surgery, Dr. Shah remains guided by a simple yet powerful philosophy: 'Less is more.' This approach reflects his commitment to achieving maximum benefits through minimal intervention, carefully selecting the least invasive treatment options that will effectively restore his patients' quality of life.
Every patient's journey is unique, and Dr. Shah takes pride in providing individualized attention that goes beyond standard care protocols. He believes in taking the time to truly understand each patient's specific needs, lifestyle, and goals. This personalized approach allows him to develop treatment plans that not only address immediate concerns but also support long-term spinal health.
Dr. Shah's decision to leave corporate medicine stems from his commitment to treat patients like family and build lasting relationships. He is opposed to the current trend in healthcare where patients are treated on a conveyor belt and clinics become revolving doors. Instead, he strives to spend as much time as needed with each patient, rather than adhering to the allotted times dictated by corporate healthcare and insurance companies.
'I treat every patient as if they were family,' Dr. Shah often says, 'and that means taking the time to explore all options and find the solution that best fits their individual needs.' This philosophy has shaped his practice into one where patients feel heard, understood, and confident in their treatment decisions.
Dr. Shah is on staff at one of the top hospitals in the country, NYU Langone Hospital. Before returning to NYC, he was in practice in Southern California at one of the most highly rated orthopedic practices, DISC Sport and Spine.

Dr. Shah has been incredibly helpful and supportive. I went to him initially for one back problem, and after suffering an injury I developed a much more serious problem. He always goes over my imaging with me, explains what is happening and why, and reviews my treatment options in detail. I also want to mention that one of the nurse practitioners at his practice (Kerry) is amazing. She answers messages sent in the patient portal as promptly as she can and she always calls me when prescriptions are sent or other updates arise. I trust Dr. Shah and he always puts me at ease. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a physician to evaluate their back.

Dr. Shah was fab with his demeanor towards approaching my problem and explaining every little doubt I had. This was my first visit and I hope his suggestion works for me!

Consultation itself was fine but they were extremely slow in sending the prescription. I had to follow up multiple times on the phone without getting a response and ultimately had to physically go back to the clinic in person (despite being in excruciating pain) to ask that they send the Rx. Also the prescription omitted critical information on which medicines should not be taken together. I emailed them via the patient portal to clarify but again it took them forever to respond by which time I had already finished the medicine. It seems no one really monitors the emails properly so there doesn’t seem to be a reliable way of contacting the doctor unlike other providers like NYU Langone and Mount Sinai where I’ve never had so many issues. Don’t think I’ll be using anyone at Summit health again after this experience if I can help it.

Everybody was really friendly and seemed to genuinely care about treating me. They listened to my concerns and answered my questions and the assistant comforted me by reassuring me we’d figure out what was wrong.

Great! Highly recommend

Doctor Shah was concerned about my problem and told me the various steps in which I had to take to further the process of operating if needed. He also put in for medication for me to take for the pain. I appreciate how he and his colleagues treated me with care and I highly recommend him for anyone that needs to be seen by an orthopedic specialist. God is good. Amen????
