I had cervical spine fusion. The team was fantastic, and I never doubted for one minute that I made a bad choice. I always felt I was in good hands, and that I would have a positive outcome!!

To begin with, Dr. Bonasso truly listened to me and made me feel at ease with the prognosis. He and his staff have communicated every step of the way. The surgery went perfect to plan and my symptoms were all relieved. These symptoms were so severe that I truly believe Dr. Bonasso saved my life.

I am glad Dr. Lefkowitz referred me to Dr. Bonasso, and it's been a very good experience to date. I could not have gotten any better care at Riverside Hospital from his team. It's been great so far and I am looking forward to getting my life back. Thanks so much!!!

Dr. Bonasso performed a laminectomy on my lumbar region to alleviate the problems I was having in my legs and feet due to advance damage. Surgery was very successful and after 3 week I am feeling great.

Dr. Bonasso was very informative before surgery of procedure and risk. I am very pleased with procedure and recovery. No pain after first 7 to 10 days. This has been a very good experience not only with Dr. Bonasso but Riverside. Highly recommend Dr. Bonasso.
