Dr. Houden has been great. He has been helping me to keep working and active the last 17 years with his interventions.

Dr. Houden is the perfect mix of professionalism and compassion. When I arrived in Dr. Houden's office I was nearly hopeless. Every doctor before him told me that there was no known cure, that they were sorry, and good luck. Dr. Houden and his staff were quick to act, skillful, and restored hope to a situation where there was very little to be hopeful about. Though he was busy, I felt like I was the only person that he was worried about. I'll be forever grateful for Dr. Houden.

The radio frequency nerve ablation procedure I experienced was excruciating during, but especially AFTER. I experienced 5 abjectly miserable days of unending horrible nerve pain post-op, and intermittent unbearable pain for the following week. Percoset and Gabapentin barely helped. His nurse is abrupt, unsympathetic and rushed. Two other identical operations from other providers in 2022 and 2025 were uncomfortable for 2 or 3 days only. I wonder if Dr. Houden is using antiquated methodology. I would never ever recommend him a... read more

I went to him suffering from siattica. Was told he would perform something called an epidural. He neither greeted me nor talked to me during the procedure. When he was finished with what was a very painful few minutes. He went back to his corner where he had been originally and left me in the hands of his assistants. I was not even given nor offered a wheelchair, although I could almost not walk. Stay away from this practice. His associate Mellville is the same no personality.

I am extremely upset with the experience I had with Dr. Houden last week during my rhizotomy. I was told this was a minimally invasive procedure and I would be given medication to calm and relax me. It was apparent immediately that whatever medication was administered through my IV did not work. I was coherent and awake during the entire procedure and in excruciating pain. Because of the pain I was moaning and groaning hoping he would stop to see why I was in such pain. Dr. Houden seemed annoyed and upset that I did not just... read more

The Dr performed two rhizotomy procedures on each side of my neck. The 3xperiencecwas very painful. I was prescribed additional medication for extended pain. My recovery was longer than his PA expected and with no relief. I’ve not returned. I have since been treated by another Spine Specialist, Orthopedist with excellent rhizotomy procedures and relief.
