In 2019 I lost all feelings in my legs- Dr Scott Russo - got me right in for surgery on my spine ! I can walk now but having some pain. I spoke to a Orthopedic Doctor in Traverse City, he said I need extensive surgical reconstruction- I hightailed it back to Dr Scott Russo- he did X-rays & explained why I did not need surgery & said he would call the other doctor & let me know the scoop. Also I'll be going for ct scan & rehab. I'm so happy & am so thankful to Dr Scott Russo

Dr. Russo is incredible. He listens then orders testing such as X-rays or a MRI to determine the best course of treatment. Dr. Russo explains all treatment options. I had a repair of a collapsed vertebrae. On the day of surgery, I walked into the hospital in a lot of pain. Dr. Russo performed surgery to repair the vertebrae and I woke up in recovery pain free! Highly recommended!

My visit requieres X-rays and I pre-gistered , after aproching the reception two minutes later I was taken to get X-rays and less than ten minutes later I was taken to the examination room. A friendly smile and a pleasant personality made it easy to follow his instructions to wear everyday this neckgard including while sleeping because he also took the time to explain in plain English the extend of my neck injury and the cause of the tingling feel of my arms
