    Dr. Zampini is an amazing surgeon. I consider myself very lucky to have a doctor of this caliber. Addressing my concerns I've had three surgeries with Dr. Zampini and I still am so impressed with the work he has done on my spine. I would not hesitate for a minute to recommend him to anyone who is looking for a spine surgeon.

    After suffering with serious cervical and lumbar spine issues, I was very fortunate to find Dr Zampini. He performed two surgeries for me - one cervical and one lumbar- and both were extremely successful. His skill, precision and knowledge are truly exceptional. Beyond being an outstanding surgeon he is compassionate, patient and takes time to explain everything clearly. From the very first appointment through recovery, I always felt confident that I was receiving the best possible care. I've recommended him to many friends and acquaintances, and every person who has seen him has had the same impression. I'm deeply grateful for the improvement he has made in my quality of life and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone needing spine surgery.

As when I met with him in [redacted], he advised me that surgery would not be advisable in my case. This time he again spoke in a forthright manner and persuaded me that surgery would not be advisable because of the complexity of my spinal problems. He referred me for PT, and told me that I could call him if my pain becomes more severe, and he would give me a steroid injection. I will return to him in the future if it is warranted.
