  Metropolitan Neurosurgery in Englewood, NJ is one of those rare medical practices where you feel taken seriously immediately straight out the gate. The staff across the board is professional, organized, and genuinely respectful. No chaos, no confusion, no feeling like you’re being rushed through just to clear the waiting room. The physicians here are on another level. Frank Moore, M.D. is a highly-skilled neurosurgeon - having completed over 6,000 procedures - leading with a steady confidence and skillset that immediately puts you at ease. He listens closely, explains precisely what’s going on without sugarcoating anything, and treats you like an adult who deserves straight-up answers. Jacob Goldberg, M.D. is sharp and detail-oriented, clearly thinking long-term and not just about the procedure in front of him. Yakov Gologorsky, M.D. brings deep experience and a calm, focused presence that matters when things get serious. I’ve personally had two successful minimally invasive complex spinal surgeries through this practice—a discectomy/laminectomy, and a tri-level ACDF. Anyone with knowledge of spinal issues understands these are not small elective procedures. Both minimally-invasive yet highly-complex surgeries were handled with care, precision, and strong follow-through. The outcomes have been life-changing in the best ways possible. Nurse Practitioner Damaris Lopez deserves special mention. She’s thorough, patient, and incredibly dialed in. Always explaining things clearly, catches details others might miss, always making sure the patient is feeling optimal, and makes sure you’re never left guessing. She be an integral component of why this place runs as smoothly as it does. What stands out prominently is how connected the entire team feels. Communication is solid, follow-ups actually happen, and you never feel like you’re navigating this alone. A surgical coordinator is an essential member of the team in practices such as this, and here Johanny absolutely shines. Her efforts ensured all pre-op protocol and testing was completed well in-advance. When it comes to your spine, trust matters. Metropolitan Neurosurgery earns it.

  Patient Abandonment by Neurosurgeon at Critical Moment Dr. Goldberg evaluated my 82-year-old mother at Englewood Hospital for progressive spinal stenosis with severe neurological symptoms. Dr. Goldberg stated he would not perform surgery at Englewood Hospital due to concerns about post-surgical complications and the hospital's inability to handle them. Dr. Goldberg stated he would sign transfer paperwork anywhere, at any time, by anyone who asks to help facilitate transfer to a specialty care hospital. Then Dr. Goldberg disappeared. No explanation. No communication. No reassignment to another neurosurgeon. I contacted Dr. Goldberg's office requesting he follow through on his commitment. No response. My mother is now mostly wheelchair-bound with urinary retention and inability to move her bowels. She continues to deteriorate by the day. She is currently hospitalized with an unknown outcome. This could have potentially been reversed if Dr. Goldberg had not abandoned her at her most vulnerable time of need. This is patient abandonment. Dr. Goldberg, at my mother's most vulnerable time of need: will you help, or will you abandon her again? If you cannot trust a doctor to follow through on facilitating the care they themselves recommended, how can you possibly trust them to handle post-operative complications? Choose your neurosurgeon wisely. This review is based on documented facts and recorded statements. All claims are supported by verifiable evidence. Rating: ★☆☆☆☆

  Dr.Golorgoski and his team are amazing. I went in with pain in my lower back and radiating neuropathy and partial drop foot. I am 3 months out and now I have no pain, the neuropathy has subsided and the partial drop foot has improved. Thank you for you miracle hands and your amazing bedside manners. I highly recommend Dr. Golorgoski..

  Dr Golorgoski is a miracle worker. I filled out the form online for a second opinion and within 15 minutes, I received a phone call from Shannon, the practice manager. A few hours later I was in the Englewood office getting a full work up, including xrays with Joe, the most amazing xray tech. Joe came to work on his day off, just for me. I felt comfortable and at ease from the moment I walked through the doors. I met with Shannon, Damaris (the most incredible Nurse Practitioner), and Dr Golorgoski. Being an RN, I knew my diagnosis wasn't great and that I needed surgery immediately. Dr Golorgoski took the time to explain my condition in detail and then we discussed options. He took his time and guided me through the entire surgical and recovery process. I went home the same day of my surgery. I had minimal pain post op and was on the road to recovery in no time. Now, 1 year later, and I'm almost completely pain free! My numbness is 100% gone as is all of the weakness I was experiencing. Dr Golorgoski healed me. I couldn't be more grateful for this extraordinary team from start to finish. The compassion, respect, and knowledge of the office staff and group of professionals is phenomenal. They all go above and beyond. Thank you Dr Golorgoski, Shannon, Damaris, Joe, and the rest of the incredible team.
