LAURENCE E. MERMELSTEIN, M.D.
Dr. Mermelstein is a fellowship trained, Board Certified Orthopaedic Spine Surgeon with extensive experience in pediatric and adult deformities, sports related spinal injuries, and degenerative and traumatic conditions of the neck and back. He is recognized as one of the leading experts in managing the care and treatment of the pediatric scoliosis patient and is an active member of the premier Scoliosis Research Society.

As the first surgeon on Long Island to perform the Posterolateral Endoscopic Discectomy procedure, he continues to lead the field in laser surgery and minimally-invasive techniques, which reduce pain and the risk of infection while also making recovery quicker. He has pioneered new intra-operative neurophysiological monitoring procedures to improve surgical safety. His expertise includes complex reconstructive spine surgery and disc arthroplasty (disc replacement). Highly respected in the field of spine, he has lectured extensively at national and international meetings regarding spinal biomechanics and instrumentation.

Dr. Mermelstein’s passion and commitment to spine care are reflected in his willingness to share his knowledge and expertise by providing professional seminars for school nurses on scoliosis screening techniques, for ICU staff on scoliosis post-operative care, and for the community by providing free educational lectures on Spine Health.

Dr. Mermelstein is dedicated to providing his patients with the utmost of thoughtfulness, humanity and personalized care.
