Dr. Rick Colman Sasso, MD

An outstanding doctor. Knowledgeable, kind, courteous and carrying individual.

My spine collapsed ...he fixed me, my spine came through my skin...he fixed me, all while being a kind and caring man. Always back to work;retired at 72.

Dr. Sasso and all of his staff are fantastic. My cervical spine surgery was part of a clinical trial and the results were spectacular. Recovery time was minimal and I was back to doing whatever I wanted in a very, very short period of time. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Sasso.

I would not go to another spine surgeon ever again! Had my 1st microdiscectomy by another surgeon. I felt he was arrogant and had a poor bedside manner. Then 8 years later, I started having the pain go down my right leg again. I chose to see Dr Sasso. I was given an appointment very quickly. Felt amazing after that surgery. Unfortunately with me being a nurse and all the heavy lifting I do, my disc herniated on the left same level. My pcp called Dr Sasso"s office. He was unfortunately out of town. However, his NP was able to see me in a matter of 2 hours! She was amazing. Had my mri and results that day. And knew I was in for another surgery. 3 days later I was able to see Dr Sasso. He advised a fusion. With as much pain as I was having I said yes. He sent me over to have an injection to make sure we were dealing with the nerve we thought it was. I saw him again 2 days later and we got my surgery schedule. I am only 3 weeks post op but am VERY hopeful for a great outcome. He has treated me with kindness and much respect. And getting me in so quickly for appointments was so much appreciated. His staff are superb as well! Not that this is one of my concerns, but they even put my tattoo back together In perfect alignment. Lol! I appreciate Dr Sasso SO much!

I saw Dr Sasso one time and was well pleased. I am over 65 now and I wonder if he accepts medicare.

Went in couldn’t even walk, my leg was on fire and ready to call I quits. After an hour long surgery I now have my life back! Thank you Dr Sasso!!!

Was in tremendous pain! Could barely walk, get dressed and drive. Dr. Sasso fixed it! Spinal Fusion. I feel great! Thank you! Highly recommend!!

I had two sucessful surgeries for bone spurs on my vertebrae performed by Dr. Sasso. The only thing I didn't like was the wait to see him and delayed time of surgery after I was already there. What I did like is he personally called me at home the next day to see how I was doing.

Dr. Sasso has been extremely helpful and compassionate in treating my multiple problems over the past two years. I recommend him to everyone I know who talks about having significant back or neck pain. There is no one I would trust more than him to operate on me, or to help me get to where I need to be. The wait time is worth it, I can't express that enough. I am forever grateful for him and his incredible staff!

I am so grateful to be the patient of this doctor! I have achondroplasia dwarfism, and am 27 years old. It is not uncommon for young people with achondroplasia to require spine surgery because of our narrow spinal columns. Dr. Sasso has taken care of me for over 2 years and I couldn't be happier to have him. He is such a skilled surgeon and has performed 6 successful procedures on me. As well, I appreciate his kindness, genuine desire to see me feel well, and attentiveness to my many questions.

Outstanding surgeon, seems to be overbooked.

A 3 1/2 hour wait only to be told to take 2 aleve 2 times a day! See me in 6 weeks! With a folder of information of things I've had done to my back in the last 8 years only to tell me I need physical therapy (which I've already had) what a waste of time!

I have been with Dr. Sasso since 1994. He is a great spine surgeon and cleaned up a mess left by another doc. Went several years with no problems and now that I have problems again, I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I was referred to this Doctor by my doctor. After waiting weeks in pain for my appointment, I had to wait over and hour and half to see Dr. Sasso. He came into the room with another man and did not ask my permission for h iim to be there. They made me put a gown on for a neck injury and yet Dr. Sasso only had me pull his hands. He didn't even touch my neck. Spent 3 minutes with me and told me to go to physical therapy. I am in constant pain, he did NOTHING. Don't go here it is a bad place!

I absolutely recommend Dr. Rick Sasso without reservation. He performed an anterior cervical discectomy with fusion on levels C5/C6 and C6/C7. The surgery eliminated the pain/numbness/tingling and enabled me to regain strength in the affected muscles. I found Dr. Sasso to be extremely knowledgeable and personable and although I hope not to have problems with any other parts of my spine, if I do I will again place my trust in Dr. Sasso.

My wife's spine was in terrible shape due to a series of failed surgeries by doctors around the country. She was in horrible pain 24/7. She had been told by dozens of doctors that there was no hope for a successful repair. Dr. Sasso put together a well laid out plan of surgery and assembled a team of the rite doctors to make it as successful as possible and then performed the surgery. It was more successful that we could have ever imagined. He has been so good to explain every step and detail. He takes time with us to answer all questions without ever displaying attitude or arrogance. His staff has been wonderful and very caring. All-in-all, he is the best doctor that we have ever seen. I guess that because he is so good is why it is so hard to get the first appointment to see him, but don't give up, keep trying until you get in, it will be life changing for you and your loved ones.

I really appreciated the great care that I received - by Dr. Sasso and his staff. Everyone was very helpful.

This is an excellent world reknown physician. I would recommend him to anyone with a spine problem

Biggest problem on our first visit (he came highly recommended), we waited 1 1/2 hours in the waiting room after our scheduled appointment to get called back to an exam room. Then waited another 1 1/2 hours before the doctor came in to see us. He spent about 8 minutes with us and recommended surgery.
