Dr. Root and his team changed my life. Despite heading into back surgery next week, knowing that Dr. Root is on my side makes this process less frightening. I started working with Dr. Root after another surgery in December 2018. I have had 10 surgeries since 2012. As a natural redhead (for whom pain medications do not work as well as the average bear) and someone with a permanent autoimmune condition, I went into and came out of many of these surgeries in horrible pain. Moreover, I lived with acute pain, despite having a team of doctors. Many doctors questioned my pain. After one surgery, we realized that the pain-med ball was not hooked up. Still, it took three days while in the hospital to get help. Meanwhile, I was living a moment-by-moment nightmare and thought I was losing my mind. Many people have their own horror stories; I have many. If you are looking for pain meds due to addiction, Dr. Root is not for you. He is serious about his craft. But if you are living with pain due to any current problem or long-term illness, Dr. Root will be your best advocate. He and his team are kind, knowledgeable and responsive. As I head into my 11th surgery since 2012, I know Dr. Root is on my side from start to finish. If you are fortunate to get to work with him, consider yourself blessed and lucky; I do. Thank you Dr. Root and the entire Innovation Spine team. I love you guys! Michelle

I appreciate having a caring physician as Dr Root who is sensitive to the frustration of living with chronic pain and a patient who wants to have a life in spite of it. Dr Root is supportive and encouraging and makes my ability to continue working feasible, which by the way is something I'm passionate about. My appreciation is unending and I'm confident in recommending him as a physician and friend without hesitation.

I adore Dr. Root as my pain management doctor whom was referred to me by my own primary care doctor. He is very knowledgeable in multiple areas, very patient, has a great patient doctor rapport, as well as having the ability to guide me as the patient towards my treatment plan. He’s also been known to follow up with me, meaning to call me to check on how I am doing after a procedure. I’ve been through a handful of Pain Management doctors and Dr Root is by fair the best and knowledgeable. I am extremely happy with his care! I highly recommend Dr Root for your pain management issues. Best wishes!

I've been disabled since 1989 with a very severe back Condition I have seen many doctors over the years Dr Matthew Root is the best I have ever seen He's very knowledgeable and he has not only intelligence and experience but there is a strong intuitive side which is so important to me. That's very hard to find He's always been spot on with his recommendations and eventide I hit a bump he glides me through. He has many options but his main goal is quality of life. You will not be disappointed I would highly recommend him over all others He is a gift from God

Dr. Root is a very special doctor. He relates to his patients and is so knowlegable. He is the only spine and pain doctor who explained my condition thoroughly. He told me things about my condition that no other doctor had the time or inclination or interest in me to explain to me and I have been to quite a few doctors. I wish he could treat my condition forever but I was informed I can only have him for 6 months because he is not in Optum plan within a plan. This makes me very sad. To sum up Dr. Root is a fantastic doctor.
