Patient Reviews
Jun 27, 2024
I went to Dr. Vaccaro for a second opinion. Immediately, he knew I didn't need the surgery I was told I needed by another Doctor. We are talking a major, major, major surgery. That's how the first Dr. described it. Fusion from T10 to the Pelvis. A two day surgery 8 to 10 hours each. Dr Vaccaro not only took the time to call me, he sent me for tests and made an appointment quickly. The staff is amazing and so highly trained. Very impressed. I'm scheduled for his surgery in September. I feel confident and know I will be well taken care of. He has proposed a Spinal fusion from T2 to the Pelvis. Much less invasive. Omg, I could have died with the other one. I feel he saved my life.
