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 donโ€™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.

Avoid. You'll be better off.
Ignored his patient, who presented with 8 of 10 pain due to the previous surgery failing less than 24 months post surgery, couldn't be bothered to respond for six days even when repeatedly messaged regarding ongoing 8 of 10 pain and developing worsening symptoms, overall seemed more concerned with avoiding this patient than helping.

Great care, professional service. Highly recommend
The procedure went flawlessly. Dr. Ronzo & his staff explained each step and it was finished in no time. I felt some immediate relief when I first stood up. And by the time I got home I was feeling almost total relief in my vertabrae that was repaired. Will definitely see Dr. Ronzo again for any future spine issues.

Nerve pain
I brought my MRI to Dr. Ronzo and he knew right there that I needed a laminectomy on L3-L-4. Surgery was set the next month and he did an excellent job. He has excellent bedside mannerโ€™s and explains everything to you in detail. The staff is totally 5 star and I would recommend anyone having problems to use Bio-Spine. That are all they advertise to be. Iโ€™m truly grateful to have found them.

Great experience
The people in the Springhill office were friendly and professional. They answered all my questions and were very knowledgeable. My experience at the surgical center was beyond what I thought it would be. Everyone there was very professional as well. It made me feel at ease while going through this procedure. Dr. Ronzo is very knowledgeable, Took his time and answered all my questions. I waited a year to have this done, I shouldnโ€™t have.

Exactly doctor
I like dr Ronzo because he is very knowledgeable. He takes time with his patients so they understand what needs to be done. He is a exactly surgeon. I wouldnโ€™t recommend anyone else. Your whole experience with bio spine is great from the time you walk in until the time you leave. Even when you do leave they check on you. Thank you all for everything.

Outstanding
I have had nerve pain for years. All up and down my back, hips and down my legs. After years of physical therapy, neurologist appointments, pain pills and chiropractors, it was discovered that I have scoliosis and had a pinched nerve at the L3 and L4 vertebrae. I had a laminectomy on June 21st, 2022, and I must confess that I was in almost unbearable pain after the surgery for 3 to 4 weeks. It is now August 5th, 2022. My pain is 95% gone. I have a minor bit of residual pain in my lower back and left thigh due to Piriformis Syndrome where the sciatic nerve is pressed against the hip bone by the piriformis muscle. three weeks ago, this syndrome was still debilitating, now it is a minor ache. I am truly on the way to a virtually pain free life. Thank you

I am glad to meet the BioSpine including Dr. Ronzo and the staff. I don't want to brag about the experience during the recovering period but Dr. Ronzo made it possible for me to be able to stand up again and lead my normal life. In fact, today is my first day to Yoga class after the post opp and I was proud of myself about my performance. Thank you Dr. Ronzo.

Biospine & Dr. Ronzo exceeded my expectations
I went to Biospine after my PCP group told me to do PT (which I did and did no good) or have my spine fused. I had no interest in doing that as I never talked to anyone who found it to be successful. Dr. Ronzo did my laminectomy surgery and the pain I had is gone. The entire process was amazing, the staff was kind and caring and their follow-up thorough. I would highly recommend Biospine and Dr. Ronzo!

Great experiencr
I was dealing with extreme sciatica pain for months and hoping it would go away. It Never subsided and only got worse. Dr Ronzo and his team at BioSpine were great at explaining the procedure and were even better during the post-surgery follow up. I had a nurse and a PT visit my house to make sure I was progressing in my recovery. Iโ€™m feeling good and getting back to normal. Highly recommend BioSpine.
