Dr. Russo was informative and took his time to explain the procedure I'm having in detail. I felt very comfortable asking questions. I am so glad that clients and friends referred him to me.

Went to Dr. Matt Russo for a second opinion regarding arthroscopic surgery. He answered all my questions and clearly explained my MRI/Xray results after a fall on both knees. He put my mind at ease to not have surgery at this time. I would definitely recommend him.

Dr. Russo was exactly the kind of doctor who I was looking for. Too bad all physicians can’t be like him.

I gave him 5 stars because he was extremely honest with me and listened to me! He wasn't trying to just cut on me. I love Dr.'s like that! And this was my first time meeting him. It lets me know that he is indeed a very good physician/surgeon. Dr. Matt is definitely one of the good guys!

Had both my knees replaced in 2020. Lots of PT in between. Dr Matt Russo is please tell, knowledgeable and has a trust inducing professionalism. Ortho AZ has moved and is a long way for me but will continue to go there for any orthopedic needs and let people know how good he is. Only down side is that my appt was late in the day and waited over an hour to be seen. All in all excellent however.
