"It was easy to get an appointment, and staff was very friendly. Met with PA Rebecca, she was great. She listened and was clear about what they could and couldn't do, and was very knowledgeable."

—Greta P., January 2023

"I highly recommend seeing Rebecca Pelkola, PA-C, with the Twin Cities Spine Center. She quickly identified my ruptured disc issue. Within 24 hours of my first visit with her, I was able to get my issue pinpointed, with an MRI and treated with a Steroid injection. I can finally walk upright again, after 12 previous days of pure, bent-over, pain! Thank you Rebecca. You are a Life Saver!!!"

—Truth Patriot (Google Review), March 2021

"Took the time and had the compassion to listen to my concern. Showed me in detail MRI scan and explained what the pictures showed. You are blessed to have her part of your staff."

—Jim B., September 2019
