Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great patient care!

The Doctor called me on a Sunday afternoon to review my results from MRI on the previous Friday. He took his time, explained my MRI and offered a path forward. You don't get that kind of service ANYPLACE anymore. Highly recommend if you are looking for excellent care!

The best neurosurgeon out there!
I hope Dr. Bonasso knows how much of a blessing he is. I cannot thank him enough for what he does. He has given so many people their lives back, including me! I had a discectomy, laminectomy, and foraminotomy at L5-S1. He is very skilled and I had an even better outcome than I could have imagined. I think about him all the time!! So grateful for him.

Miraculous Recovery
At Doug's first visit, he was unable to walk without assistance. Dr. Bonasso was quick to schedule his surgery knowing how critical the need was. 4 weeks post op and I cannot keep up with him walking. Many thanks to Dr. Bonasso and his wonderful staff.

Pre, Surgical, Post Op appts
During the pre-op visit the procedure was explained to me and very direct on what to expect. At my surgery date, he came in and explained what was going to happen and it went well. After, the office called to check on me which was very nice. Post op was easy and things are going well.

I am so thankful for Dr. Bonasso and Staff
I came to Dr. Bonasso in so much pain in my SI joint, glute, and down my left leg. The imaging showed bulged disc. Dr. Bonasso was so professional, comforting, knowledgeable, and he did an awesome job performing my surgery. I am so thankful for his care and would recommend to friends and family.

I heave had 5 surgeries done by Dr Bonasso in a 15 year period. Although he is a very very busy Dr. He has time to answer all your questions and not make you feel rushed. He has an excellent bedside manner and that’s number 2 on my list besides his intelligence on doing what he does flawlessly. I have never felt the need for a second opinion because I know he always has my back! ( pun intended)
