GLOVERSVILLE, NY – Nationally recognized neurosurgeon Dr. Nicholas Qandah, DO—known affectionately to his patients as “Dr. Q”— is now practicing at Nathan Littauer Hospital and Nursing Home. Dr. Qandah will be seeing patients at Littauer, expanding access to advanced pain management, brain, and spine care. A board-certified, fellowship-trained specialist, Dr. Qandah is known for performing non-surgical interventions and minimally invasive surgical procedures that promote faster recovery with life-changing results.

As the founder of CNY Brain and Spine Neurosurgery, Dr. Qandah has earned a strong reputation across New York State for delivering high-quality, compassionate care to patients with spinal cord injuries, chronic pain, and degenerative spine conditions. His presence at Nathan Littauer represents a significant expansion in the hospital’s ability to provide comprehensive pain management, neurosurgical, and spine services locally.

“We are honored to welcome Dr. Qandah to Littauer,” said Emily Wright, Senior Director of Provider Practices. “His expertise in minimally invasive techniques and personalized care aligns with our mission to provide innovative, accessible healthcare right here in the Fulton-Montgomery County area.”

Dr. Qandah’s training spans both neurosurgery and orthopedic spine surgery. His clinical practice addresses complex conditions such as back, neck, arm, and leg pain, as well as scoliosis, osteoporosis, herniated and bulging discs, sciatica, failed back surgery syndrome, and vertebral fractures. His individualized, minimally invasive approach to care reduces the physical impact of surgery while maximizing positive outcomes.

In addition to expert diagnostics and patient-centered care, Dr. Qandah now offers a wide range of advanced procedures at Nathan Littauer. These include percutaneous kyphoplasty to restore spinal strength and relieve compression-related pain, epidural and facet injections for non-surgical pain relief, and radio frequency ablations for long-term nerve pain control. Patients with chronic, treatment-resistant pain may benefit from spinal cord stimulator trials, and select cases may qualify for stereotactic radiosurgery, a form of targeted radiation therapy.

Dr. Qandah’s arrival brings world-class pain relief, neurosurgical, and spine treatment to patients across the Fulton-Montgomery region. Appointments with Dr. Qandah will be available soon. Individuals seeking more information or wishing to join the early scheduling list are encouraged to call (518) 646-1641. Additional information is available at Nathan Littauer’s website.
