“Dr. Ronzo told me I had a real good case of spinal stenosis and that I was a candidate for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery.  He promised me I would be walking the next morning and sure enough I was.  The next morning after a spinal fusion surgery he came to the hospital and couldn’t find me because I was walking the floors of the hospital.  I hadn’t walked like that in at least four years!”
-Jim G.
"I know the pain I've been in and I understand that people are afraid to go to the doctor and if it's going to cost them a lot of money and being afraid of the after affects. I just have to explain how our Medicare and Supplemental insurance covered Dr. Ronzo's bill and how great it is being active, climbing mountains and all that stuff like Jim says. We are in our 80's but we're hoping for another ten, twelve years at least to be able to scoot around and do the things we are doing".

“I’ve been doing horse shoeing for 32 years now and over the years, I had developed some chronic sciatica to the point where it looked like I may have to retire from the business. “  " I went to see Dr. Ronzo and he told me about the procedure to relieve the pressure on the nerve.  “It was a one day thing, went in the morning, operated in the afternoon and home that night.  I woke up the next day virtually pain free.”  “I didn’t want to give up my career.  I’ve been doing it so long, I really love horses and love the work.  I have to thank Dr. Ronzo, he gave me back my career.”

“About the only thing I’ve been able to do for the last twenty nine years is gain weight!  There was always a discomfort in my lower back and in my right leg.  So, no exercise, no golf”   said Skip.  “It was really difficult to deal with him sometimes.  The only thing that got him to go to the doctor was the fact that he fell on the floor and couldn’t get up” said Judy.  “People ask me what the difference is.  I tell them I had back surgery.  It took about twenty minutes to have the operation.  Three hours later I’m on my way home.  29 years of discomfort and only 20 minutes to fix it!  Pretty awesome” exclaims Skip. 
Judy is convinced that what Dr Bono has done for Skip is phenomenal, next to a miracle.  “You know, Dr. Bono is excellent.  He really, truly is!”

“The pain got to the point that I could hardly drive for five miles without having to get out of the car and walk around.  The pain was severe.  I was diagnosed by Dr. Ronzo with Stenosis.  Dr. Ronzo went in and enlarged the opening so the nerve had more space.  Since then, I’ve had no problem whatsoever.  I’m actually able to swing a golf club so I think everything is perfect at age 94!”

"I had a pain in my right hip that was treatable by normal method. I was talking to some friends and they recommended Dr. Ronzo. The pain made it so I couldn't dance, play golf, get around and it just hurt a lot. I was on pain medication for four months, tried therapy and after reviewing my X-rays it was apparent no therapy was going to fix it."
"Dr. Ronzo took two x-rays and said here's your problem and this is how we're going to solve it. I went into the hospital at 6 AM and left at 12 PM with absolutely no pain and that was without pain pills. In a matter of six hours my life completely changed back to the way it used to be. A home healthcare service came to change the bandages; I had a brace, and other useful tools for recovery."
"I've never seen a bill from anybody. Medicare and AARP did it all. I went into the office the tenth day after surgery and he said I could hang up or throw out my brace and cancel my next appointment because I didn't need it. I've talked to other people about it and in fact my wife is going to be seen them about her neck. It was easier than going to the dentist, an experience that I thought was going to be scary actually turned out to be one of the best things I've done. "

Dear Dr. Ronzo,
I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate what you and your staff have done to improve immensely my quality of life. I have endured chronic back pain and two previous back surgeries since 1995. An MRI showed spinal stenosis in the L4-L5 area and in March, you performed Minimally Invasive Spinal Fusion on my L4-L5 vertebre. I am back on the golf course and amazingly pain-free. You have changed the course of my life and I have resumed to normal activities without pain. I am eternally grateful to you and your terrific staff.

"Dr. Ronzo and I talked about my back and after having X-rays and a MRI scan performed and initially he thought the pain was fixable with physical therapy and pain management. So we tried those things and they didn't work so we opted for a lumbar 4 to 5 spinal fusion. Before surgery I was experiencing pain in the sciatica and both legs with some weakness. When I'd walk it would feel like I was going to fall. Now I can golf, I can work in the yard, and I try to stay as busy as I can. Recently I had the opportunity to drive two long distances, almost 500 miles in about a month. After each trip I got out of the car feeling fine."
"The recovery period is so short and the entry points are hardly an inch long. The procedure really is minimally invasive like he mentions. I have met people who have suffered with pain, and I recommend if you live in the area at least make sure to get an opinion from Dr. Ronzo. He is just a class act and so knowledgeable. I have all the confidence in the world with him. If you follow the instructions the recovery will be satisfactory and I high recommend it!"

"I had pain that was so debilitating that I was almost passing out. I was walking crooked due to the sharp pain in the bottom of my foot. I couldn't perform my tasks the way I normally would. I was always grouchy. The pain had taken over.
So I came to Dr. Bono and it was like he instantly took away my fear and calmed me down. He told me he could fix me and take the pain out of my foot. I left that day confident he could do it. I felt really comfortable with him.
The operation took an hour and half. He made two incisions that were minimally invasive which meant that I wouldn't have a long recovery. Getting back to work was most important to me.
As I said to my wife I've never been in a doctor's office where you go from the clerks, to the x-ray technicians, to the patient room to talk with doctor. It was like a well oiled machine. You don't sit there more than 5 minutes, and you know you're in good hands".

I was playing golf three times a week and all of the sudden I noticed, I'm having a heck of a time getting around out there. My Internal Medicine Doctor said, "well I'll send you to the best back surgeon in Florida, Dr. Ronzo". It was wonderful. I went and took my MRI. I said how soon can we get it fixed and he said "well how about a week or so?" I went in and it was great. I knew my insurance would take care of it. I work today on the golf course five days a week, just 100% better, I have no pain in my back at all and ya know, I can do anything these young kids can do!
