At ESINY, we take pride in applying advanced endoscopic techniques so that every spine surgery is executed with superior precision while maintaining the least amount of invasion possible. Through this highly focused method, we are devoted to helping you heal more quickly, regain lasting strength, and enjoy once again the complete and meaningful life that is rightfully yours.
Finally, The Relief You've Been Waiting For.
Endoscopic spine surgery is reshaping the way doctors address spinal health and is opening new opportunities for the treatment of back conditions using modern techniques. At the Endoscopic Spine Institute of New York, our vision is to redefine surgery for our patients by placing their safety first, operating through smaller and carefully measured incisions, helping them achieve faster healing, and giving them the tools to regain the lifestyle they have been missing. With a team of both neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons who have distinguished themselves in this field, and as the exclusive Endoscopic Spine Institute within the United States, we proudly devote our care to restoring strength and mobility in every patient.
By working through an incision that is less than one centimetre in length and with the assistance of a camera no larger than a pencil eraser, our specialists are able to conduct advanced endoscopic procedures with impressive accuracy and the lowest possible level of invasion.
Your Precise, Powerful Solution From The Spine Experts
When it comes to the treatment of your spine, nothing is more important than ensuring that your care is placed in the hands of those who have already reached the highest echelons of the medical field. At the Endoscopic Spine Institute of New York, our acclaimed group of neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons has spent years cultivating both the science and the technique of endoscopic spine surgery to the very peak of refinement. Their careers are marked by an outstanding history of recognition, including the opportunity to present their methods and findings at over 500 conferences around the world, with notable participation in respected organizations like the North American Spine Society and the Society for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery. Their research contributions are equally remarkable, with more than 300 articles accepted for publication in leading peer-reviewed medical journals. Additionally, they have been distinguished with Honorary Membership in the American Academy of Neurological and Orthopedic Surgeons. With this extraordinary professional record behind them, your spine care is conducted with a level of precision medicine firmly anchored in both groundbreaking innovation and unparalleled expertise.
Fewer Risks, Faster Recovery
In contrast to open spine surgery, the endoscopic method offers a safer and more efficient route for treatment. It results in lower risk, far less bleeding, incision sizes that are frequently under one centimetre, reduced complications, and recovery times that are substantially shorter, sometimes shortened by weeks.
Go Home the Same Day with Only a Band-Aid
Approximately ninety-five percent of patients are able to walk out of the facility the very same day and resume light activity almost immediately. No cumbersome bandages are needed, as the incision is covered with a small ESINY band-aid. There is no requirement for an overnight hospitalisation, and the lengthy recovery commonly associated with open surgery is avoided.
Skip General Anesthesia
Additionally, the approach is focused on maintaining patient comfort by relying on local anaesthesia and light sedation. General anaesthesia continues to be available when appropriate, yet the majority of patients discover that they do not require it for their procedure.
A Solution For Every Stage
Endoscopic spine treatment provides meaningful solutions across the spectrum of care, from those just starting the process of finding relief, to those returning after earlier surgical experiences, to those who want to move past injections as their only option. With over 30,000 patients already helped, this method continues to bring restored quality of life to thousands.
The Go-To For Other Spine Doctors
Trust in our expertise goes far beyond patients alone, as evidenced by the fact that more than 40 spine surgeons have chosen our team for their personal treatment. Such confidence has established us as the widely respected surgeon’s surgeon.
What We Treat
Meet Your Team
At ESINY, our reputation in endoscopic spine treatment is built on the extensive knowledge and achievements of our distinguished team of specialists. Each procedure is carefully developed to address the true source of discomfort with exceptional accuracy, resulting in longer-lasting relief, fewer risks, and recovery that is far quicker compared with traditional surgical methods or repeated injections. Patients benefit from a level of care where innovation, precision, and efficiency come together with the single purpose of restoring mobility, comfort, and overall quality of life.
What To Expect
During your initial consultation, we dedicate time to learning about your needs by discussing your symptoms in detail and reviewing the treatments you may have already tried. If we find that you qualify as a candidate, we will guide you through every step of the procedure so that you feel informed and ready for the experience.
Endoscopic spine treatment represents the most minimally invasive surgical option that involves an incision. Thanks to the advanced techniques used, patients frequently enjoy quicker recovery times compared with traditional spinal surgeries, along with fewer side effects and complications. For most patients, local anesthesia is all that is required, and it is possible to return home on the same day of the procedure.
After the treatment is completed, your ESINY physician will personally reach out within the first week to review your recovery, provide additional guidance, and address any questions you may have.

Less Pain and Faster Recovery
Dr. Albert Telfeian is a world-renowned neurosurgeon with extensive experience in endoscopic spine surgery. I’m so impressed with the comprehensive care I received at Dr. Telfeian’s practice. He was very transparent and reassuring when explaining the procedure, and I felt comfortable knowing he is an expert in endoscopic spine surgery. The endoscopic approach resulted in significantly less pain and a much faster recovery than anticipated. Not only is he a skilled surgeon, he’s also a compassionate and caring physician. Dr. Telfeian diagnosed my condition accurately, and took the time to thoroughly explain my treatment options in detail. He made me feel completely at ease and most confident in his care. I am extremely grateful for The Endoscopic Spine Institute of New York and the positive outcome.

Truly Grateful!
I’m truly grateful to Dr. Shen for the incredible care he provided during my spine surgery. He performed an endoscopic, super minimally invasive procedure that allowed me to walk right away—without pain—and I was even back at work the very next day! From my very first consultation, Dr. Shen and his team made sure I felt comfortable and well-informed about every step of the process. Their genuine compassion and expert guidance eased my worries and made all the difference in my recovery. I’m now on the road to feeling completely healthy again, and I can’t thank him enough for his skill and dedication. If you’re thinking about spine surgery and want someone who combines expertise with a personal touch, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Shen. His care changed my life for the better, and I’m so thankful for everything he’s done for me.

Endoscopic Spine Surgery is the Way
Dr. Shen is a compassionate doctor who cares about every single patient he sees. He remembered everything about my case without a x ray or paperwork in front of him when I had questions. I successfully got two separate back surgeries this past summer. My pain in my upper back, that plagued me for years, is completely gone where I had cervical stenosis. My fusion on my lower spine is well on its way to healing fully. I vetted four different top surgeons in NYC before choosing Dr. Shen and I’m very happy with my choice. Don’t let old school surgeons tell you that endoscopic is not the way. They are just trying to get patients without learning the new technology. Dr. Shen called me every day after my surgery for about two weeks to see how I was doing and it meant a lot to me.
