Twin Cities Spine Center (TC Spine) is a medical practice of specialists focused solely on advancing the care and treatment of the spine, with a commitment to improving the lives and well-being of our patients.
Our pioneering founder, John H. Moe, MD, began a dedicated scoliosis service in 1947. Seventy five years later, our specialty practice continues the legacy of leading orthopedics dedicated to one incredible and complex area of the body: the spine.
Today, our center continues our leadership through the adoption of cutting edge techniques including minimally invasive spine procedures and robotic assisted technologies. Our full-time Research Department enables us to evaluate and measure our care and treatment, as well as publish papers that contribute to the overall practice of spine care.
Educating the next generation of spine surgeons through our Fellowship Program demands that we stay at the forefront of our field and continually evaluate and teach best practices based on science and research.
