Dr. Albert Fenoy is an excellent, experienced Neurosurgeon at Northwell Health North Shore University Hospital. He performed Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Surgery on me. I had severe Parkinson's Disease (PD) symptoms, and the drugs were wearing off, and not helping. He hit the sweet spot in the brain. The results were amazing! The stiffness & rigidity went away almost immediately. It was fantastic, almost miraculous! Me & my Neurologist are working on reducing the tremors using the electrical pulse generator. Wow! I got my life back! I can do so much more now. Definitely a big increase in my quality of life. If you have PD, and you are a candidate for the DBS Surgery, I highly recommend Dr. Fenoy.

Dr. Fenoy is truly a lifesaver. A skilled neurosurgeon who has saved my life twice. I would place my trust in him as many times as needed. Highly recommend him for something that is highly complex and requires great skill. Thank you.

This surgeon and his office staff are superb! From start to finish, they made me feel at ease with the fact that I had to have spinal surgery to fix a compression to my spinal cord. I am returning now to have an implanted SCS.

Horrible bed side manner. My paralyzed son 24 at that time was treated with the utmost disrespect from Dr Fenoy and his female PA. The PA and doctor were unprofessional. I'm in healthcare and found this unacceptable. My child died.

Dr. Fenoy performed lower back surgery on my wife last summer. Everything about his treatment from pre-op, to post-op was excellent. He explained everything well taking the time to go over what he would do plus what the recovery was like. My wife followed his post-op instructions to the letter and the recover went very well. I have recommended him to several of our friends since then.

Has the worst thing I have ever seen. His bedside manners are horrible. Surgery did not go well and I was told he did not do what he was supposed to do.

Has a 3 level cervical fusion May 9th. Finally out of pain. I would highly recommend this surgeon to family and friends. I am forever grateful to him. Shannon is the best PA I've ever seen. She is totally on top of things. The whole staff is friendly and professional and Alma and Willie make you feel right at home the minute you walk through the door. 10 stars!!!
