This was my first visit to the practice. From the moment I entered the office I felt valued as a patient which is a testament to the staff. Dr Ayala is extremely knowledgeable and thorough. I appreciated the time she took to review my images and the go forward plan that was provided.

I met with Nicole on 7/14/26 as a follow up to back surgery performed in 2024. Over the past 10 days, I was experiencing pains in the lower back. Nicole was very thorough and professional. She listened intently and was able to offer both an opinion and solution. Her empathy and skills are top notch. I highly recommend New Jersey Brain and Spine as the service across the board is World Class and local in nature.

I went for my post surgery follow-up with Nicole Ayala. What a wonderful experience. Starting with a helpful and friendly front desk, and a great nurse’s assistant. Nicole happily answered approximately a million questions my wife and I had in a thorough and pleasant matter. She carefully covered my plan for continued recovery as well. I can’t say that I want to go back, since I rather not have more surgeries, but if I did, this would be where I go.
