I had Dr Darakchiev he did two herniated disc on me . from the minute, I met him in the office. I knew he was the man and sure enough I was right the surgery went perfect. He explained everything to me exactly the way he was gonna do everything and made me feel very comfortable. I had to wait a few weeks before having my surgery and I was in so much pain if it wasn’t for Nikki his secretary, who kept supporting me over the phone I called her for every little thing that wasn’t even her job and she took care of me. I was also taken care of by his pain management group, Dr fanaee and Christine. They made sure I was as comfortable as I could be until my surgery. Dr fanaee even called me on a Sunday morning because he knew on Friday when he talked to me that I was in a lot of pain and he called me to see if there was anything he could do for me. What doctor does that on a Sunday morning Dr. D his staff. I’m recovering now and doing well if anybody needs to say a brain with spine doctor, I recommend you see him. I also went for a second opinion because it was a serious surgery and my family wanted me to. I saw another doctor and he confirmed what Dr. D said needed to be done. He would’ve just done it a little differently but my heart was with Dr. D and I’m glad I stayed with Dr. D because I’m doing wonderful as of today.

I place a high value on clinicians who listen carefully, communicate clearly, and take a thoughtful, patient-centered approach to care. Dr. Kong exemplifies all of these qualities.
From the initial visit, Dr. Kong took the time to fully hear my concerns and quickly translated them into a clear, actionable treatment plan. His clinical assessment was thorough, and his explanations were grounded, practical, and easy to understand—without being overly simplistic.
Recognizing the complexity of my shoulder condition, Dr. Kong promptly referred me to a specialist with experience in additional treatment techniques, ensuring I had access to the most appropriate expertise. Importantly, he did not disengage after the referral—he has continued to follow my care closely and remains actively involved in managing my pain and overall progress.
Dr. Kong’s collaborative approach, clinical judgment, and commitment to continuity of care reflect a high standard of medical practice. I would confidently recommend him to both patients and healthcare professionals seeking a physician who is attentive, decisive, and genuinely invested in long-term patient outcomes.

This practice is great, the staff is very helpful. Dr. Palumbo has done surgery on my mom and 2 different cousins, he is a great neurosurgeon and we feel completely at ease with him. Highly recommend!

Exceptional Care at Long Island Brain & Spine!
I cannot speak highly enough about my experience at Long Island Brain & Spine. From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was in good hands. The staff was super friendly and helpful, making me feel right at home. They were always attentive to my needs and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the entire visit. The waiting room was clean and comfortable, and I didn't have to wait long for my appointment.
The doctor I saw was exceptional. He took the time to listen to me and explain everything in a way I could understand. I even got to see the pain management doctor. Both provided me with a personalized treatment plan that addressed my specific needs. They didn't rush me and made sure I felt taken care of. I'm so happy with my treatment plan and can't wait to see the results.
I highly recommend Long Island Brain & Spine to anyone seeking top-notch medical care. They're the best!
