Best hip replacement!! I had both my hips done. I was in so much pain and limited mobility. I had a walker and scooter. Both hips were easily replaced and I am back to normal. A few years later my husband had his hip replacement and has recovered beautifully and can't believe how much better he is. we can't say enough about him. highly recommend him. First Class treatment! read more

I was referred to him by a colleague of mine from Brooklyn . A nurse with 30 years under her belt who knows her stuff. She didn't hesitate: "Don't bother looking at anyone else in the Valley. Go see Russo." In that heavy accent. I'm glad I listened. As a nurse myself with 26 years of experience, I've seen it all -- the good, the bad, and the downright scary. Dr. Russo is one of the best. His father was a physician, and I can say with confidence his Father should be incredibly proud of the surgeon and human being his son has become. Dr. Russo isn't just a highly skilled surgeon with a stellar track record and excellent credentials. What really stood out to me was his bedside manner. He never once made me feel rushed. He listened. He cared. And you can tell he genuinely loves what he does -- there's no trace of the burnout you sometimes see in seasoned surgeons. On top of it all, he's a family man with kids of his own, so he gets it. He understands how a bum hip doesn't just affect you, it affects your whole family. That empathy came through in every interaction. I had a left hip replacement and walked out the same day with not just a new joint, but a new outlook on life. I'm excited to soon tie my own shoes again, to ride a bike pain-free, to live my life again. If you're considering surgery and you're lucky enough to get in with Dr. Russo -- don't think twice. Thank you Dr Russo! read more

There isn't a day that goes by that I I'm not eternally grateful to Dr. Matt Russo for fixing and replacing my hip As a woman in her 60s, the thought of having a hip replacement was very scary. I had complete confidence going in after being so highly recommended to Matt for this surgery from the moment I went in and immediately waking up from the surgery I knew I was going to be more than OK To Dr Russo I am a patient like all the rest, but to me he is one of the most amazing doctors I have ever come across My life has improved in so many ways. I have zero pain in my hip and I have resumed all of my activities and I feel so great again. Thank you, Matt Russo for changing my life Helen Walker read more

I was in severe pain and unable to walk without a walker for almost a year. I had a total hip replacement 2 weeks ago by Dr Matthew Russo. Immediately after surgery when they had me walk I had No pain. I thought it was from the medicine I received before and after surgery. I'm happy to say, the excruciating pain I had, due to bone on bone, was gone from day one. I highly recommend Dr Matthew Russo. I didn't think it was possible that the pain would be 100 percent gone, but it was and is. Very thankful to Dr Russo as I had a very complicated case and with his expertise it was a successful procedure with immediate results-No more pain! read more

Dr. Mathew Russo is kind and caring. He even called me personally to explain more fully a question I had about the knee implant he uses. It is obvious that he is fully invested in each client. I've been working with Dr. Russo and his staff over the past two years and can totally recommend him for total knee replacement. He is one of five orthopedic surgeons I have interviewed. read more

Matt Russo is a fantastic surgeon. I had a TKR my knee is probably one of the best knees that ever had surgery. But now I understand Dr. Russo and his office will no longer take Medicare patients. I have referred at least a dozen patients to Dr Russo some of them need a second surgery -And he can't do it or won't do it and that is so disappointing. read more

Dr Russo takes him time with his patients explaining details of surgery. He also provides a detailed workbook of what to expect before and after surgery. Quite helpful. Today he performed surgery at HonorHealth. As his first patient in the queue, surgery was expected to last 2 hours. He called me when he had completed to tell me all went well. Recovery lasts for 2 hours and then observation for the next few hours. A nurse contacted me awhile later to give me a hospital room number and visiting hours. I spoke with the patient briefly. I was impressed by the communication. read more

I had a hip replacement by Dr. Matthew Russo in May of this year and I just had a full knee replacement this past week by Dr. Russo. I have had very little to no pain after each procedure. While Dr. Russo has prepared me quite well for both procedures, his skill as a surgeon has definitely shined brightly. I talked with others that had a joint replacement by Dr. Russo and they have had very similar experiences. I highly recommend Dr. Russo. He had told me that he does 15 hips and or knees a week on average and it is quite obvious that he is very experienced in regards to joint replacement. If I had to have another joint replacement, I would go to Dr. Russo without any apprehension. He is very professional, explained everything thoroughly, and has a great staff. I was well prepared physically, mentally, and emotionally for both procedures. Thank you Dr. Russo! read more

Personable is not the same as professional. If you wish to wait hours in a waiting room for a scheduled appointment where he takes 5 minutes, where he wants his surgery fees upfront before operating and waiting to get paid from a BC/BS EOB (Explanation of Benefits), if you want rude staff, then this is the doctor for you. The LAST surgeon I would ever wish to operate on me!! read more

10/10 Doctor care with Dr. Matt Russo. As of now, both hips replaced with him at Ortho Arizona. I had my left hip done in June 2022 at the new facility in Scottsdale and not in the hospital as I did the first time. What a great experience! Out patient surgery with everything done in house. They have their own nursery, pre and after care, their own rehab specialists, and their own anesthetists so you stay in one place with great care. It is a little faster paced surgery but it all went down with great care and super easy. Surgery was at 11 am, recovery after that, then around 4 pm awake and gently up and walking around the hall with a walkers and an aid. Out the door by 5:30 pm! First day home was bit sketchy but after that all went well. I had no pain at all with the second surgery as well. This surgery was less stressful with coming off the anesthesia meds the next day. A little stiffness but up and walking with no pain and no assistance just a walker around the house. You can hardly see my incision which both sides were done anterior. Highly recommend this doctor. read more

In March 2020 Dr. Matthew Russo did a total anterior hip replacement on the left...Three months later he replaced my right. Four weeks after the right was replaced I can walk a mile without assistance and salsa dance once again. I did Dr. Russo's exercises daily. Two years before I was told by another orthopedic surgeon that I would always limp. I suffered intense pain for two years. My pain and limp are both gone. In my eyes, Dr. Matthew Russo is a miracle worker...and I am testament to that. read more

Matthew Russo, MD - Four weeks after both hips were replaced can salsa again! - Orthopedists Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

I was so frightened to have surgery(never in a hospital!) but my hip replacement by Dr. Matt Russo was so easy I am now one of those people who say" why didn't I do this a year ago?!" The office personnel was friendly and professional, the surgery was so smooth I didn't even know I had it! I would recommend Dr. Russo to anyone needing a new hip read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Vincent Russo for almost 20 years and have trusted him with multiple successful surgeries. When it was finally time for me to get a hip replacement, he recommended Dr. Matthew Russo and since I trust Dad with my life, I trusted his son as well. I can't tell you how fabulous my surgery went. I was in a car accident 40+ years ago and knew one day I would need a new hip. I had hip pain, back pain, and could barely walk. Dr. Russo explained everything so I could understand, made me feel comfortable, no anxiety, and when I had the surgery, I didn't have ANY pain from the replacement. I was walking without assistance by the third day and consider the Russo team my absolute heroes. I don't have any back or hip pain and I have my life back thanks to Dr. Matthew Russo. He cares and he is an outstanding surgeon. I would highly recommend him to anyone!!! read more

I cannot say enough about Dr. Matthew Russo. He recently did my hip. Just had my 6 week appointment. My procedure was a bit more complicated as he had to lengthen my leg at the same time. The next morning when he visited and I was up for the first time I felt the difference immediately. He really knows his stuff and is so involved with his patients. If you are considering joint surgery you don't need to go anywhere else. read more

WOW!!! I can't begin to give Dr. Matthew Russo the thanks he deserves. Two years of dealing with a bad hip, Dr M. Russo verified I was bone on bone. After having this initial consultation with Dr. M. Russo, he explained the anterior approach, I don't know what I was waiting for. Prior to this, I just anticipated a lot of surgery pain and a long recovery. On the contrary, I now have my life back and didn't have to deal with any pain or consequences from the surgery. It was amazing!!! I was home within 24 hours and left the hospital with Tylenol for the pain. I hate to call it pain since that is what I was dealing with for the past 24 months, this was more of a temporary weakness, a slight discomfort. I was on a walker for 4 days and doing my Pulse Exercise program religiously and the progress was quick. Went to a cane for the next two weeks and back to work after three. This was an incredible experience and I can't say enough how fortunate I have been to find Dr. Matthew Russo!!!! He is a fantastic individual and so easy to communicate with. Obviously, VERY SKILLED, and an Excellent bedside manner. I HIGHLY recommend him as your surgeon. Also, I don't want to forget to give kudos to his PA, CK Kaplan and the awesome office staff for doing their part!! Jim H. read more

My right hip was replaced a few years ago, and it was done elsewhere. I thought it went well. But in dealing with Dr Russo on my left hip it went fantastic. the Pulse App exercises got me in shape for surgery, and made recovery go a lot faster. I was walking the day of surgery and within a week I was not needing to use a cane. within 4 weeks I was basically back to normal with much better range of motion and minimal pain. Dr Russo will be highly recommended by me read more

For more than a year I was suffering from Bi-lateral leg pain and left thigh pain. My PCP did not think much of it. Try aspirin/Tylenol/Aleve, probably arthritis come back in a month and let's see what if it is still bothering you. Well after seeing an orthopedic doctor (not an orthopedic surgeon) and a Rheumatologist, and like 6 visits to the PCP and some research online I told the PCP I wanted to get a referral to see Dr. Mathew Russo. Best decision I ever made. From making the first phone call, the office staff was courteous, friendly, polite and very professional and helpful and got me in as soon as they could. I met Dr. Mathew Russo for the consult, he was very polite, understanding and professional. He did not rush me, listened and looked at the x-rays and with a totally positive diagnosis said "you need hip replacement surgery". So I was scheduled for surgery in like 3 weeks. Went to the hospital, checked in, had surgery, saw Dr. Russo while I was in Pre-Op, his bed side manner was great, answered question, took his time, did not rush me, shook hands and said see you later. I woke in recovery, very little pain and I mean LITTLE, hospital was great, the P.A., Chaim Kaplan, also saw me after surgery, he also had excellent bedside manner, polite and professional, asked me questions and he answered my questions, also called the office after hours one day and he called me back in like 20 minutes and again listened to why I called and made sure he answered my question and told me to call back no matter what if I have any concerns or questions. And when I saw him for the first follow up appointment he remembered me and was again professional and polite. I am now pain free, walking like a normal person, feeling good, ready to go back to work 4 weeks after surgery. I highly would recommend Dr. Mathew Russo and his entire office staff and Honor Health Hospital at Shea and the 101 for any joint replacement surgery they need. No one asked me to do this review and I am the one who does reviews when something is not right. But I wanted to give this review because it was deserved and warranted and Dr. Russo took away my pain and returned my quality of life back to me. THANKS DOC, STAFF AND HOSPITAL!!!!!!!!!! read more

Dr. Matthew Russo and his staff performed a total hip replacement for me earlier this month. Matthew works with his father, Dr. Vincent Russo at their Ortho Arizona office near Honor Health Hospital/Shea in Scottsdale. Russo has training in performing orthoscopic "anterior" hip replacements. The anterior approach, compared to the "posterior" procedure is less invasive, and enables patients to recover from the surgery far more quickly. For many years, I lived in the Washington, DC area. The Anderson Clinic in Alexandria, VA is a renown orthopedic surgical center. Dr. Russo did his medical internship training at Georgetown University, and interned at the Anderson Clinic. The Ortho Arizona practice coordinates their surgeries with Honor Health/Shea. Coordination between Ortho Arizona and Honor Health is seamless and efficient from start-to-finish. Honor Health offers a two-hour pre-surgery seminar to help patients better understand what to expect, the surgerical procedures for knee and hip replacements, after-surgery recovery, and available hospital-based physical therapy services. I enjoy working with people who are on top of their game. If you are in need of a hip or knee replacement, Matthew Russo is your man. Share review Write an update Edit review Remove review read more

I had an anterior total hip arthroplasty performed by Dr. Matt Russo in January 2019. I couldn't be more pleased with the results. Dr. Russo advised on the type of procedures that were available to me and explained the whole process. The surgery was a total success with no complications and surprisingly very little pain. I was up walking the same day and walking without assistance within a couple of days. It's been less than 6 weeks and I walked 3 miles yesterday. Unbelievable! Dr. Russo is not only an experienced surgeon, he has the bedside manner anyone would want in a physician. I would recommend Dr. Russo to anyone needing hip or knee joint replacement surgery! read more

After 8 months of suffering, having xrays, a ct scan and an mri done I was told the pain was coming from my back and there was nothing that could be done for me. A visit to a Lazer Surgeon confirmed to me that the pain was from my hip and I was in need of a total right hip replacement. I was rejected by two orthopedic surgeons due to high risks, then Dr. Matt Russo was suggested to me. I first met with his father, Dr. Vincent Russo who advised me that his son could help me but he could not see me until the following week since he was out of town. I did meet with Dr. Matt Russo the next week and he confirmed after taking xrays that I needed a total hip replacement. Dr. Russo did explain all the risks of the surgery for me but after suffering for almost 9 months I felt I had no choice but to have the surgery. To everyone's amazement, including Dr Russo's I got thru the surgery with no issues at all. I give all the credit to Dr. Matt Russo. The doctor was on top of everything, he prepared for anything that could possibly happen but due to his care, attention to detail and experience I am one of the many patients on his success list. Thank you Dr. Matt Russo, I am so blessed to have you for my surgeon and feel so very confident for when you do my husbands hip. To say just a bit more I must say this office is very well ran with a very well qualified, personable, efficient staff. read more

Dr Matt Russo performed a total knee replacement on my right knee. I am extremely happy with his expertise, skills, and bedside manner. He took whatever time I needed to understand the procedure and answer any questions I had. It's been 2 months since my surgery, and for the first time in many years I am pain free - I can walk-up stairs without pain, something I was unable to do before. I highly recommend Dr Matt Russo and his staff. read more

I had a knee revision of a knee replace 10 years ago. Dr. Matt Russo was informative, open and had great bedside manner, telling me what he was going to do, what to expect and how to get the most complete recovery possible. The surgery went well and I was up and walking the next day. The pain and strength in my knee was much better than the first surgery with virtually complete rehab after 6 weeks. Walking without assistance within 2 weeks and off pain meds after 2 weeks. Highly recommended. read more

As a result of Dr. Matthew Russo's amazing surgical skill, I have a brand new right knee (6 weeks ago) that is allowing me to return to all of the activities that I love - walking, swimming, gardening. Hiking will begin at the 3 month mark and I have all the confidence in the world that I'll be hiking farther, faster and higher! I feel like a new person - no knee and joint pain, I have incredible stability and my gait is returning to normal. Dr. Russo's expertise, fun & compassionate personality and love for what he does made this the best thing I've done for myself in years. I've recommended his office to a couple of my friends with joint issues. They will be as satisfied as I've been, guaranteed. read more

I strongly recommend Dr. Matthew Russo to anyone needing a joint replacement. I had a total knee replacement in February 2018 and Dr. Russo did an outstanding job. Highest of recommendations! read more
