Every person I interacted with in his office, from the X-Ray technician, to Dr. Koski's RN, to Dr. Koski himself are all whip-smart & empathic. Dr. Koski presented different synopses that could require different approaches to helping my back heal. As his colleague at MGH, Dr. John Shin said, Dr. Koski is not an aggressive 'jock' surgeon, but rather is conservative & clearly is thinking about what is best for the patient.

Dr. Tyler Koski has a reputation of being one of the best if not the best, back surgeons at Northwestern Memorial and in Chicago. I wanted to get two or three opinions so I went to the top back surgeons. Dr. Koski was really good in his analysis and suggested procedures.

I felt that Dr. Tyler Koski and his assisting doctor really tried to identify the issues through the questions they asked. They also had spent enough time reviewing the MRI's and xrays to get an understanding of my spinal stenosis and degenerative disc situation. The recommendation they made is consistent with what my main ortho doctor, Dr. Tom Hudgins, was suggesting, but needed to proceed after surgical consult.
