Dr Bassani was very caring and knowledgeable. He explained to me exactly what he wanted to do to achieve a positive outcome. I had excruciating pain in my legs and was unable to walk. After Dr Bassani performed my spinal surgery that took a couple of hours, I was able to move my legs without any pain. I was able to sleep in my bed. I was able to stand and take a few steps without any pain. All I had was a little discomfort at the surgical site. What a difference those few hours made for me!

Dr. Bassani was excellent. He was very reassuring and thorough and took the time to speak with me. Luckily our non-issue resolved on its own. I’d highly recommend Dr. Bassani to others.
