Reviews from Patients

I was very nervous about this surgery, however after talking and listening to Dr Koski I was very relieved and felt much better when I left the appointment than I did when I walked in. Dr Koski is certainly an asset to North Western.

I understand the Dr. Tyler Koski is very highly regarded I just found that the total experience was very cold. He never looked at the computer or showed me what he was seeing in the xray films to explain why he believed that I will need a full reconstruction of the current fusion and adding the disk above.

Dr. Koski has been very understand-ing about my pain & is trying the besthe can to get me ready to sustain sur-gery. It's very difficult & serious sur-gery so he has to have great caution.so far he's answered my questionswithout minding which is very import-tant & not always the case with a physician, esp. a surgeon.

Dr. Koski is an outstanding physician, who examined my husband's condition very thoroughly. He noticed details about my husband's condition from the whole body xray that other surgeons did not even mention. Though He recommended possibly a fourth spinal fusion, than others, he was very much leaving the decision up to my husband as to when pain mandated the surgery. He also recommended knee replacement first to bring stability to his recovery from spinal surgery. We so appreciated his willingness to fit us in early in am before his surgery and did not rush us. He is very level minded in his approach. We have made a follow-up appointment with him in 5 months to reassess my husband's condition and have highly recommended him to other friends and medical providers who have need or patients in need for lumbar surgery.

Dr. Koski and his APN were exceptional. The both were exceptionally thorough regarding my history, current condition and potential solutions. Dr. Koski reviewed all films (MRI) with me to assure to I understood my current diagnosis and how any potential surgery would correct it. I felt very confident when I left that I had a great surgeon.

Dr. Koski and Angie couldn't be nicer or more helpful and considerate of their patients. These appointments are a pleasure. The treatment i get is spectacular and I can't praise the doctor and his staff enough. He is the best!!!
