NSPC Brain & Spine Surgery has secured its position as the #1 Neurosurgery Practice Group in New York State for the third consecutive year while also earning recognition as a Top 10 Private Practice Nationally for neurological surgery in the Castle Connolly Accolades. This sustained recognition from the peer-nominated survey underscores the practice's established leadership in private neurosurgical care and provides patients with validated benchmarks for selecting high-quality medical providers.
The Castle Connolly Accolades identify groups with the highest concentration of peer-nominated Top Doctors through a rigorous 35-year-old selection process. Steve Leibforth, Castle Connolly's Managing Director, stated that the recognition serves as trusted third-party validation for patients, helping them make informed healthcare decisions with confidence they are receiving care from leading professionals. Doctors cannot pay to be selected, with choices based on medical education, training, hospital appointments, and disciplinary histories as reviewed by the physician-led research team at castleconnolly.com.
Michael H. Brisman M.D., F.A.C.S., CEO of the Rockville Centre-based practice, declared the achievement confirms the group's 68-year commitment to patient care and excellence in spine and brain surgery. Founded in Freeport in 1958, NSPC has grown to become one of the largest private neurosurgical groups in the United States, currently operating seven offices on Long Island and in Manhattan with eleven experienced physicians.
The practice's Castle Connolly Top Doctors include specialists in cerebrovascular, spine, and brain surgery such as Jonathan L. Brisman, MD, along with spine surgery experts Benjamin R. Cohen, MD, Vladimir Y. Dadashev, MD, Zachariah M. George, MD, Yusef Imani, MD, Stephen T. Onesti, MD, and Sachin N. Shah, MD. These neurosurgeons employ advanced procedures including "bloodless" stereotactic brain surgery and minimally invasive endoscopic spine surgery to treat conditions like brain tumors, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and trigeminal neuralgia.
For business and technology leaders monitoring healthcare innovation, NSPC's consistent top ranking demonstrates how established medical practices can maintain excellence through specialized expertise and adoption of advanced surgical technologies. The recognition matters because it provides a measurable standard of quality in a complex medical field where patients seek reliable indicators of surgical proficiency. Since 2024, NSPC has held the #1 position among New York private neurosurgery practices in the annual survey, having placed #4 nationally among private practices for top doctors in neurological surgery that same year.
