I have extensive experience having surgery at Dr. Jay Zampini. He has operated on my spine a total of seven times. Dr. Zampini, his PAs, his office staff are just top shelf. They are excellent to work with, very responsive, very knowledgeable, some of the best medical professionals that I've had the opportunity to work with. And I do speak from a lot of experience. I've had about 30 surgeries in my life, and Dr. Zampini is at the top of that list.

After suffering with serious cervical and lumbar spine issues, I was very fortunate to find Dr Zampini. He performed two surgeries for me - one cervical and one lumbar- and both were extremely successful. His skill, precision and knowledge are truly exceptional. Beyond being an outstanding surgeon he is compassionate, patient and takes time to explain everything clearly. From the very first appointment through recovery, I always felt confident that I was receiving the best possible care. I've recommended him to many friends and acquaintances, and every person who has seen him has had the same impression. I'm deeply grateful for the improvement he has made in my quality of life and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone needing spine surgery.

I like Dr. Zampini's unhurried disposition and calming voice. This was a 1st visit and I was concerned that my spine/neck would need surgery so I was nervous! Age and arthritis have played havoc on my structure but the idea of Tylenol and PT was music to my ears!

The provider from Mass General Brigham was very professional, timely, informative, and covered every concept that he needed to, as well as asking key questions for me about my health background, medications I was on, how the accident happened, the operation, the surgery, and how the process would take from here. So very impressed, very professional.

2025-11-08
-
I was seen by Dr. Zampini in [redacted] for a similar consultation. He didn't remember me, but perhaps that was because he doesn't have access to records from that long ago. As when I met with him in [redacted], he advised me that surgery would not be advisable in my case. This time he again spoke in a forthright manner and persuaded me that surgery would not be advisable because of the complexity of my spinal problems. He referred me for PT, and told me that I could call him if my pain becomes more severe, and he would give me a steroid injection. I will return to him in the future if it is warranted.
