About Us

Spine Associates  of NYC (Upper East Side, Manhattan, NY) is a best in class orthopedic spine surgery practice. Our orthopedic surgeons (Dr. Sean McCance, Dr. Baron Lonner and Dr. Peter Frelinghuysen) offer a wide variety of surgical and non-surgical treatment options to help eliminate or ease your back & neck pain and to treat scoliosis and related curvatures of the spine. Our board certified NYC orthopedic spine surgeons exhaust all conservative non-surgical options and treatments, before we recommend spine surgery.

  • Our doctors have performed over 14,000 spine surgeries 

Customizing treatment options to the individual is an important part of managing spine and neck problems. The wide variety of spine disorders means that treatment options vary too. In fact, two people with the same spine disorder will be managed differently because of differences in severity of symptoms and other medical factors that are unique to each person.

  • Our staff can contact your insurance carrier for you
  • We can obtain pre-authorization from your insurance company for you
  • All appointments for diagnostic tests (X-rays, MRIs, etc. will be made by our staff on your behalf)
  • When appropriate, your orthopedic surgeon will consult with other doctors involved in your care
  • When one of our orthopedic surgeon’s makes a referral for you, a staff member will make the appointment for you; as one patient put it, “I never had to lift the phone”
  • Our NYC spine surgery practice offers true concierge medicine to all patients

When back pain, scoliosis, or neck pain becomes chronic, intense, or interferes with your normal, daily activities, it is time to visit the NYC orthopedic spine surgeons. Only doctors trained in the intricacies of the spine can accurately diagnose your unique problem and present you with an appropriate customized treatment plan and options (surgical or nonsurgical).

We will begin by evaluating you completely to determine the exact cause of your back or neck pain. We listen carefully and test thoroughly before we diagnose. Even though we are a surgical practice, we do not always favor a surgical solution. Our patients can often benefit from treatments that require no surgical intervention at all. We will get you out of pain and treat your condition.

Dr. McCance performed spine surgery on me a few months ago and I am back to my old self again. I traveled to New York City for the very best, he came highly recommended to me from a family friend who also had a herniated disc and Dr. McCance performed surgery on him as well. He is talented, kind and really thorough. He performed a 2 level laminectomy on my lumbar spine and when I tell you, I felt normal a week later—I sure did! He is awesome and his team is so wonderful to work with!

I was suffering from chronic neck and arm pain, was diagnosed with a herniated disc. After trying physical therapy and epidurals and medication for over a year, I went to to see Dr. McCance, a spine surgeon in nyc who recommended an ACDF at C5/6. I had the surgery over 10 years ago, and have been pain-free, With an occasional ache in my neck. I have been able to return to all activities. Including sports and heavy lifting wich is part of job. I thank you and would recommend Dr. McCance anybody with neck problem who needs surgery..

Dr. Lonner completed my scoliosis surgery almost twenty years ago. I recently saw him for a follow-up visit. His expertise, professionalism, and genuine concern is unmatched. Although I don't see him often, it's always nice to visit him and his office staff. The quality of care that he provides has remained consistent throughout the years. You can read all about his stellar work online, but his character, patience, and due diligence shines most.

Also his staff was wonderful when we got there and made the appointment that we were already anxious about quite enjoyable! 5 stars all around.
