He is accomplished in all areas of cervical, thoracic and lumbar spinal surgeries, including trauma, tumors, degenerative conditions, scoliosis and herniated discs. His subspecialty of interest is in the non-surgical and surgical care of pediatric and adult scoliosis and kyphosis. Dr. Russo is also part of the clinical faculty at Grand Valley State University, Michigan State University College of Human Medicine and the coordinator for the spine in the Grand Rapids Orthopaedic Residency Program. In addition, Scott is the founding member of Recover Health.Patients are referred to Recover Health from their surgeon, primary care physician, or other medical professionals, to optimize the outcome of their surgery.
