"I was experiencing severe neck pain with muscle spasms. Dr. Sinkov performed a cervical fusion. At three months, I was back to playing golf & tennis. He gave me back my life. I had two pre-surgery consults with Dr. Sinkov - he answered all of my questions patiently and thoroughly. I knew that I chose the right surgeon!" - Ann, Healthgrades

"New Dr. Sinkov was extremely professional, thorough and kind throughout the entire process. He took every precaution necessary to try to prevent any complications and/or possible infections pre- and post- surgery. The surgery was a scary undertaking for me, because it was on my cervical spine, but Dr. Sinkov was THE BEST! If I had to have another similar surgery I wouldn't go anywhere else." - Laura, Healthgrades

"An incredible surgeon. Very competent. My surgery was perfect from start to finish. The anesthesiologist, nurses and surgeon were terrific. Pain was gone immediately." - Thomas Feehan, Healthgrades

"Dr. Sinkov was highly recommended by two other surgeons consulted for secondary opinions. His training, specific skills set, professionalism, quiet, thoughtful and gentle approach to reviewing my films, outlining my surgical options and answering questions I had were notable, detailed and reassuring. Nursing staff complimented to me his attention to detail, protocol and safety precautions." - Gayle P., Healthgrades

"Dr. Sinkov is a sincere and communicative physician/surgeon. He has well-known technical expertise, yet he talks to his patients with ease and even appropriate humor at times." - Paul, Healthgrades

"I was in for serious back injury. Although Dr. Sinkov recommended back surgery, he did not push the surgery. He listened to my concerns, expressed his concerns and connected with my overall thoughts for a recovery plan. He was extremely knowledgeable and caring. I found him to be dedicated to me as a patient." - LB, Healthgrades

"Saw Dr. Sinkov for lower back pain. Dr. Sinkov spent a lot of time with me explaining what was wrong after requesting x-ray. He was very personable with a great bedside manner. After explaining my back issues, Sinkov referred me to the Pain Clinic where after several procedures, I am now pain free. Thank you Dr. Sinkov for your caring and help with my back pain. Dr Sinkov is a very knowledgeable Doctor to whom I would not hesitate to recommend to anybody needing a spine/back Doctor. 5 stars to him!"

"Best surgeon I know! He was so nice, honest, and informative throughout my entire process with him. Every visit I went to I fired a million questions at him and he answered every single one of them and then some. He was very patient when explaining stuff to me and I truly appreciated that, most doctors are super rushed and Dr. Sinkov definitely took his time with me. He helped my quality of life tremendously and I can’t thank him enough! I am only 28 years old and I had a C5 C6 cervical disc replacement and I feel like a million bucks. I can hike, workout, and do everything I used to do like normal again with absolutely no pain! Thanks Dr. Sinkov you’re literally a lifesaver!" - Haley Neufeld, FaceBook Review 

"I have known and worked (at MGH) with many physicians in my life. Dr. Sinkov is one of the most caring and talented orthopedic surgeons in the field. If they were 7 star in this site, Dr. Sinkov would receive all 7. *******" - Frederick Afshar, Facebook Review 

"He performed ACDF C5-6, C6-7 on me Sept. 2019 and I am in good recovery. Will answer any questions/concerns I have. A+ surgeon!" - Patient, WebMD Review

"Professional, kind, soft spoken, lots of questions answered, focused, impeccable skill in lumbar stenosis treatment/surgery. Am finally able to walk upright again and balance is improving with PT and Tai Chi." - Gayle Plouffe, Web MD Review

"After 10 years of agony and all the shots and PT. I needed surgery on my neck. As an active 42 y/o individual, fusion was out of the question for me. When the FDA final approve disc replacement on 2 levels, I sought out the DRs. that could do it. He was the only one at the time. The surgery was new. Being his first 2 levels disc replacement patient I was very nervous. After meeting with him I decided to go for it. He was very professional and thorough. The recovery was quick. I am now 3 years in and doing great. Great job on my 2 level disc replacement surgery. I’m sad to see him move. Best of luck." - Patient, WebMD Review

"I have been suffering with back pain for the last 20 years. By the time I met Dr. Sinkov, I was at the end of my rope. He spent a great deal of time my answering all my questions, never rushing. I was impressed with his explanations and bedside manner. He recommended a one level minimally invasive surgery called (TLIF) fusion technique. I left the hospital the next day, I got out of bed right away and was walking 10,000 steps within the first week. I feel like I never had surgery. Everyone always asked me why I didn’t go to Boston. The answer is simple…..Dr. Sinkov. The last day that we left his office for my postop visit, I thought my husband was going to cry. We really appreciate all the effort in he has put into my care when other surgeons were completely unsympathetic and did not go the extra mile. Thank you, Dr. Sinkov! I will always remember what you did for me and my family!"  

"Dr Sinkov made the difficult diagnosis that my other doctors didn't for years and also was able to determine that I possibly had Elhers Danlos causing me more pain. He then performed surgery despite my vacation and crazy schedules, accomodated my superstitions, had an awesome staff that set all my pre op way ahead of time so that I could get my surgery done right after my India trip. He was supportive of all my questions and was very thoughtful and thorough about everything. Six weeks later when he met me at the clinic, he actually remembered what we exchanged before I was wheeled into surgery. Hats off to him. I was really touched and impressed. I'm recovering slowly but I can already tell that I'm in lesser pain post op outside of the healing pain. Thank you for being a great doctor,surgeon and most importantly a wonderful person. I wish you and your family the best as you move to another city." - Deepa K., Web MD Review

"I had 2 lumbar spine procedures with Dr. Sinkov in 2014, at the same time no less. I felt completely confident in his abilities and in the fact that he genuinely cares about his patients. My leg no longer gives out from the discs pinching those nerves, and my quality of life has improved dramatically. Nobody wants to undergo a back surgery, but if you have to, Dr. Sinkov is a man you want in your corner, and OR! His kindness and caring ways add to the quality of care you will receive from him and his support staff. He will never rush you, or leave you with unanswered questions." - Patient, Web MD Review

"There are no words that express my feelings for this very talented surgeon. He is so very humble and sincerely wants to make your body right. He knows his stuff and does it with such ease. I was in such a terrible way when I first met him. I had been seeing another surgeon and he told me that I would never be able to turn my head from left to right after the fusion. This would mean never being able to drive and do many other daily activities. The picture was so bleak that I was in a very depressed state, from pain and anticipation of surgery. I then had decided to seek out another opinion. This was when I met Dr. Sinkov. I was in such a state, he sat down next to me and calmed me down. Listen and reviewed my MRI and told me what his idea of surgery would be and YES....Within days I was in the OR had nothing but praises to sing about this man. I had an anterior multi-level cervical fusion, I can turn my neck left and right. I can do lots of things that I have not been able to do in years. There are no words for his God given talent. Thank you Dr. Sinkov!" - Patient, Web MD Review

"Dr. Sinkov answered all of my pre-surgical questions thoroughly and patiently. By the time I booked my surgical date I felt extremely confident that I chose the right surgeon. I had a cervical fusion. I told Dr. Sinkov at my recent 6 month post surgical visit that "I have my life back." And it is true! He is a professional." - Patient, Web MD Review
