According to Dr. Brisson, his “approach to back care is conservative, and he typically starts with non-invasive treatments like physical therapy and rehabilitation exercises before turning to surgical procedures.” At New York Spine Care, his private practice, he is actively participating in the decisions and plans of his patients, taking the time to evaluate their overall health and medical history while determining the best course of treatment. “The decision to undergo back surgery is complex and often fraught with anxiety”, he says.

If surgery is needed, he and his staff are available before, during, and after the operation to answer questions and offer advice.
