Dr. Insinga has performed 2 cervical fusion surgeries for me and I’ve had great success. My mobility is back! He’s very caring and thorough as well as talented. His care both pre- and post-surgery was top notch. Would use him again if needed!

Very impressed with Dr Insinga. Pre/post Neurosurgery and follow-up was very professional.

Dr Insinga has been my Neurosurgeon for the past 5 years, had 3 surgeries. I travel from Brooklyn just to see him. He has a comforting chair side manor as he clearly explains what the issue is and how he can help.

Dr. Insinga performed a C5-C6 cervical discectomy and fusion on me 6/29/2020. I’m not going to tell you he has the bedside manner of Dr Kildare but he is extremely knowledgeable and his surgical skill had me up and moving within two hours of surgery. Two weeks post op and I have a very slight ache from the surgery but all the moderate to severe pain I was previously suffering from in my back and neck due to multiple herniated disks have magically disappeared just as he said it would.
