I ended up needing emergency back surgery. I was so lucky to end up with Dr Zotti. Unlike other doctors who want to rush in and do it all Dr Zotti is careful and only does what he needs. It was during Covid so couldn't have my husband in with me but we did a 3 way phone call so he could let him know what he was going to do. I was so scared but he put my mind at ease. He really is dedicated, cares and knows what he is doing. My scarring was minimal. I need my neck done next year and I wouldn't go anywhere else. Thank you Dr Zotti

I am a 58 year-old male and its nearly 12 months since I had a spinal fusion at L4 L5 and a double laminectomy. I have had backpain since my mid-20s and have been active in treating it conservatively for over 30 years. The pain had gotten to the point where I was going to have to give up work. Subsequently I was referred to Dr Zotti with my history of x-rays and scans and I then saw the master go to work. In laymans terms he explained what he thought the problem was which had never been diagnosed in the reports. In his conservative approach he then sent me off for a range of scans and tests to assess and confirm his findings which resulted in me having surgery. The best decision Ive ever made. I was up and walking the next day and by the morning of day four I went home and was back at work in 14 days, way ahead of schedule. Also the level of pain was much less than expected. Dr Zotti checked in every day post surgery and his bedside manner is like a friend coming to visit. Thank you for giving my independence back. If you have back pain or would like a second opinion I do not hesitate in recommending Dr Mario Zotti. Once again thank you Mario.
