Dr. Matthew W Russo, MD - Reviews

Dr Russo performed an excellent knee replacement for me. He also straightened out my pro nation that has also greatly helped my foot to walk straight again. I'm going to have him do another replacement on my other knee soon. When in the office, Dr Russo is very caring and considerate of your medical needs. When I first went in to complain about my knee in the first place for the pain, he immediately suggested a cortisone shot. He hit the spot and I was good for several weeks that helped immensely. Office staff are great, too!

Dr. Matt Russo performed my total left knee replacement 8 weeks ago and I have a whole new lease on life at 71. He was extremely thorough in considering my hip and entire left leg before the surgery and explaining my issues thoroughly. My knee had become somewhat bowed which made my surgery more complex, but I couldn't be happier with the result. My bend is at 130 degrees and I went for a 7 mile hike in the mountains near Pinetop at 7 weeks with no pain. I would recommend Dr. Matt to anyone contemplating a knee replacement. ML Rector

What can I say? I struggled for months thinking that I’d pulled a muscle or strained a ligament. I walked and walked hoping to “walk it off”, loosen it up and make it better. That did not happen, in fact it just seemed to get worse and worse. Finally, a friend suggested that I go and see Dr Matthew Russo, an Orthopaedic Surgeon, for a full assessment of what was going on with my hip. I was beginning to think that at some time in the future I might need a new one, but after assessing me he advised me that I needed it now. I wasn’t sure if I was sad with the news or happy? This might be the end of my pain? He has this wonderful model in his office and thoroughly explained exactly what needed to be done and why. I was motivated and could hardly wait for my surgery date. The hospital (Honor Health – Scottsdale) was wonderful and the surgery was non-eventful. I couldn’t imagine that I was immediately able to fully stand on my hip and put all my weight on it! I only stayed in the hospital one night, initially using a walker and eventually graduated to a cane. At 4 weeks, post-surgery I did not need anything. I’m so grateful to this doctor, who has changed my life. Now I can get back to all the activities that I have been unable to do for so long.

Dr. Matt Russo and staff handled my total hip replacement with professionalism and care. The initial consult with Dr. Russo was informative, while answering all my questions and concerns. The surgery went exactly as was presented, and the use of home rehab with the pulse phone app made returning to pain free life quick and seamless. I would recommend Dr. Russo to anyone tired of living with debilitating hip pain and wanting to get back to a life of mobility.

Dr. Matt Russo did a total Anterior Hip replacement on me 6 weeks ago. I couldn’t happier with the outcome. He is a very courteous & thorough Dr. and spent as much time as I needed to address my questions. I would totally recommend anyone requiring a new hip to contact Dr. Matt Russo and use his Pulse App during recovery. Thank you!

Dr. Matthew Russo is an excellent orthopedic surgeon. His knowledge and skill made my hip replacement surgery a success.

I recently had a hip replacement by Dr. Matt Russo and couldn't be happier. From the first visit and his very professional office staff to the outstanding work he did with the surgery and rehab, I'd recommend him to anyone.

The experience with Dr. Russo, his Physician Assistant C.K., and the entire office staff was professional and absolutely first rate. Likewise, my office visits and follow-up could not have been more caring and professional. I had a hip replacement, and at 6 weeks, was walking 3-5 miles per day with zero hip pain. It was the trifecta of surgery experiences: great sensitivity and care for the patient, technical precision related to the replacement, and lastly the best of outcomes. I highly recommend Dr. Matthew Russo for a hip replacement.
