Office Locations

Where Dr. Merola sees patients

The same care at both offices

The Manhattan and Brooklyn office runs on the same model as the rest of the practice: you see Dr. Merola. Not a physician assistant for the workup and a surgeon for the signature — the surgeon who would perform the operation is the one who examines you, reads your imaging, and tells you whether you need surgery at all.

That matters most in the conversations where the honest answer is no. Conservative care comes first when the anatomy allows it, and a recommendation against operating is a real outcome of a consultation here, not a failed one.

What to bring to a first visit

A first visit goes faster and gets further when you bring:

• Your imaging — the actual MRI, CT or X-ray study, not only the written report. A disc, a hospital portal login, or the imaging center's access code all work.
• A short history of what happened and when, including anything that made it better or worse.
• What you have already tried — physical therapy, injections, medication, chiropractic care — and how each one went.
• If this happened at work, tell the office when you book so the visit and the paperwork are set up correctly from the start.
