From the moment we walked into the Twin Cities Spine Center, we sensed that it would be a positive experience. The office assistants were friendly and helpful. We got into our appointment ahead of schedule. Once in the exam room, staff immediately began collecting information and assembling our daughter's medical history. Throughout the experience, staff remained friendly and helpful but very professional and knowledgeable.

—Terry A., October 2021

I went in for [a second opinion], and I was very satisfied with how they spent the time to let me know what was going on and show me on my MRI. Totally would recommend.
