Staff

A Dedicated Team

Twin Cities Spine Center physicians are board certified or board eligible, fellowship-trained leaders in the field of orthopedic spine research and surgical practices. All physicians frequently lecture and publish on issues relating to the treatment of spinal diseases and disorders.

Patient care is provided by a multi-disciplinary team of professionals led by each Twin Cities Spine Center physician. Each member of the team plays an important role in the evaluation and treatment of patients. Spine fellows (orthopaedic surgeons receiving advanced training) and other physicians frequently assist with patient care or observe during clinic visits.

The entire team of employees at TCSC seeks to make each encounter with our Center the best that it can be.
