Great Experience. Dr. Bonasso and staff were good to work with. Surgery and recovery went well. I went from only being able to stand for 3 to 4 minutes to being able to walk for extended periods. Just spent the day with my grandkids at the zoo for the first time in years. So thankful Dr. Ruane referred me to Dr. Bonasso and I would strongly recommend him.

Dr. Bonasso was very easy to understand and his staff is the best. There was no time wasted once seen by the doctor in getting into surgery and on the way to recovery. I was in a lot of pain and crying when he saw me the first time. The doctor and staff made me feel comfortable and understood everything I had to say. THANK YOU DR. BONASSO AND STAFF! I feel great again.

-Campbel087 in Columbus, OH | Jan 06, 2017
Doctor and staff are professional, friendly, and helpful. The treatment seems to be very effective and recovery is going well. There was a mix-up between the hospital and my insurance company and so I left the hospital earlier than I think I should have. However there was no harm done and I feel that I am doing very well.

-T. W. Teague in Lancaster, OH | Apr 08, 2016
Dr. Bonasso has done five surgeries on my back and I couldn't be more pleased. His care, along with his incredible staff, have made all five a success story. I have soft bone which has complicated the healing and recovery of fusion surgery. He has done outstanding with his attention and care making me feel personally important to him as a surgeon. Great job! I can highly recommend a visit to see if your condition will qualify his services.

-Jmay in Columbus, OH | Jan 29, 2016
Dr. Bonasso seems to be respected in his field, but BEWARE his follow up care is poor, his office staff is incompetent and have moved with him to his new location. If you want good follow up care and to have forms / letters completed/ phone calls returned this is not the physician for you. I called every other day for weeks to have a form completed for BWC that was never done. BWC denied my case because of this. This is peoples lives on the line not just a Simple surgery..
