In patients' words
"Dr. Dirisio is a phenomenal neurosurgeon... When I first saw him I couldn't walk... It was a tough battle. And a miracle....I am now 90 % of what I was thanks to Dr. Dirisio."
— Birdeye (Albany Med Dept. of Neurosurgery)"Rude and uncaring. Had major 8 hours surgery in horrible pain and he made a joke about it... I will never go back"
— RateMDs"Having had 3 back surgeries in 3 years by Dr. Scheid, I am so grateful that he was willing to try and fix my back... If it weren't for Dr. Scheid and his fabulous and talented staff, I do not know how I would function today."
