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.

in Columbus, OH |
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..
in Mansfield, Ohio |
He has done both of my craniotomies & I'm still amongst the living ?? had first one on Monday 1/13/14 & was up walking & Talking the next day , and was back home on Thursday the 16th. Dr Bonasso saved my life . I trust this man completely Richard Finnerty Mansfield, Ohio
