Dr. Russo injected my torn rotator cuff tendon with bone marrow stem cells and platelet rich plasma 3 months ago and almost back to doing everything I was doing before my injury. Then, my wife was referred for her low back disc issue and he did injection on her too and it helped! Now, my daughter is seeing him after a severe bike accident and he's been helping her with rehabilitation and pain management. Our family is very satisfied with the care and attention we receive at his clinic!

I have received excellent care from all of the doctors, in the various types of procedures that I've had. I believe that there has also been an improvement in attitudes in general, in dealing so kindly with patients, and this has been on every level. It's like I have felt a shift toward the better in the whole environment. I truly appreciate the time that people take to treat me with care , and respect, and also care about more than just my pain, but me as a a whole. Thank you.

Dr. Russo was very clear about what was happening during my treatment, and talked through the entire procedure while he performed it, which I found very comforting.
At it's worst, my pain was at 10 out of 10. Now it's 0-2 depending on what I'm doing, and it hasn't even been 6 weeks since the procedure. I'm very pleased with the outcome!

Dr. Russo might not always tell you what you want to hear, but you'll never regret hearing it. He cuts to the chase and tells you things like it is. So far, the spinal injections are holding up good. I've repeated them twice and I can tell a certain improvement. Nice people and the staff go out of their way to make you feel like you get your questions answered and what not. Over all, I'd say its a 5 star experience at the pain clinic.

I was diagnosed with femoral-acetabular impingement syndrome in the hip and the orthopedic surgeon wanted to a osteotomy surgery (breaking my hip and re-aligning it). I was hesitant about her plan and went to see Dr. Russo. He reviewed all my outside records and thought that my low back, SI Joint, and pelvis may be playing a role. He recommended PRP injections into the the hip and SI joint. I was referred to physical therapy. I'm doing much better and very thankful for al...

I saw Dr. Russo after a severe work related motor vehicle accident. I was in a coma for two days, broke both legs, and had a vertebral compression fracture. After rehab my care was transferred to Dr. Russo. First, he helped slowly get me off the pain pills, he diagnosed that weren't diagnosed in the hospital, and agreed to handle the paper work for my lawyer. It's been over a year and a half and I'm just getting back to my old self. I can walk, have just minimal pain. I'm so happy!

I tweaked my shoulder shoveling snow. I went to see my primary doctor who referred me to an orthopedic surgeon. The orthopedic surgeon said I needed a surgery and did a steroid shot. The shot worked for 3 weeks but I didn't want to go have a surgery done. Dr. Russo reviewed my MRI and recommended a PRP injections into my rotator cuff tendons, labrum, and collar bone joint. He sent me for more physical therapy. I'm two months out from the injections and feeling really good.

I have a 25 year old chronic back issue that I was ready to have disk fusion surgery on. I decided to try Regenexx with doubts that it would work. However, it has been a huge success for me. I feel better than I have in years. I recommend it to anyone suffering a chronic condition. I was a doubter but not anymore

I brought my 15 year old daughter to see Dr. Russo due to pain that she has had for 3 years. Her condition (pain in sternum) has not been diagnosed in spite of consultation with multiple specialists. Dr. Russo examined her thoroughly, asked questions, listened, and above all, validated her. Time will tell if the PRP injection Dr. Russo performed with take away her pain, but I am grateful for the kindness and compassion he and his staff have given my daughter.
