Dr Stauff did a neck surgery replacing to disc’s with cadaver discs. That was 3.5years ago and gave me a new lease on life. The surgery went well and gave me the ability to walk again without falling or pain. In the 3.5 years I have joined a gym, I go every day, lost 45 lbs and have the ability to live life to the fullest thanks to Dr. Stauff, an amazing surgeon!

Dr. Stauff was my second opinion and from the moment I walked in the door I knew I was in the right place. He took the time to explain my options. I never felt rushed with him. Although he's a Phili fan, we still got along... My neck was 75% healed by my four month follow up. Highly recommend!!

My back is in bad shape. Had a neurosurgeon do my first back surgery in 2003. Long recovery time. Dr stauff DID my 2nd back surgery in 2016 and it went great he was professional and caring. Great surgeon . Will be having a 3rd back surgery in the next few months. I would not have anyone else do this surgery. I would wait months in great pain to have him do the surgery. He is a great person and surgeon.

Dr. Stauff was very considerate and kind. Listened to me and my families questions about the surgery, recovery. Concerned about his patients and their safety. He was the second Surgeon I had seen about my medical condition. I highly recommend him and his team.

I met with Dr. Stauff this morning as a follow up of a research project. I found him to be very professional, engaging, thorough, responding to my questions with much patience. I would highly recommend Dr. Stauff.

I ended up seeing this Dr Stauff because I wanted a second opinion. He told me the same thing the first doctor said but I like this one so much that I scheduled my surgery with him. Very polite and thorough with everything
