I was impressed with the courtesy shown by the front staff and the professionalism of Dr. Thorson.
Great bunch of people! Caring, Professional and Attentive
Dr Thorson was thorough and explained well procedures I will have. Excellent Dr.thanks
Caring Doctors that listen!
Great communications
Very uncomfortable chairs in the waiting room for a pain clinic.
Kind, dedicated staff!
Love the front desk lady. PA Sara is great. Would recommend them to anybody that needs to be seen here . Thank you all so much.
I saw Dr Thorson at this clinic in Edina (there is another location in Minneapolis off of 394 and it has a different name: Midwest Injury.) At the Edina office: the office desk and waiting area appeared reasonably clean,could’ve been a bit …
IMO find yourself a better Dr. Worst experience I have had.
5 stars for Kristen B. Is very understanding, she goes out of her way to make sure you are getting the care needed to feel better.
Absolutely the worst medical facility I have ever seen. I have never be so discriminated against in my whole life. “Nora” or “Mora” will sit there looking you right in the face and calmly lie to to. She is a professional liar. If her lips a …
I asked them up front numerous times what my out of pocket cost would be and they did give me a dollar amount and they asked for payment before my procedure or they wouldn’t do it so I paid it and now weeks after my procedure I am receiving bills for THOUSANDS of dollars that they say I owe. Stay away!!!
I highly recommend Advanced Spine to others searching for pain relief. I have found Dr. Thorson and his team professional and incredibly helpful; they have developed a plan that has helped me manage my pain and live a normal life. I meet …
Dr Thorson has put together a great staff. A clinic is only as good as the team and the person who picked them. This fine group of caring knowledgeable people would not be there if they did not reflect Dr Thomson’s commitment to treating …
After a normal visit with their nurse that writes prescriptions, they wrote my Mother a letter saying they would no longer help her. This was when her last bottle of medication was nearing completion. The reason is that she became conufused …
Not the most professional clinic I have ever visited, but Dr. Thorson was very real with me and helped me to get my life back. Refused to discuss back surgery until I got my weight under control. After a very harsh conversation (which I …
We are very pleased with the clinic because they wanted to help my son. Prior to this, we were at a loss as to how to help him feel better. We asked about the medical cannabis program. We communicated with a nurse by email and phone a …
Tried to speak with someone and ask one question but they just kept trying to get my number and information and wouldn’t answer my question and then just ended are conversation ! …
find someplace else to help with your chronic pain they never listened to me and it took them almost 8 months to give me a diagnosis of arthritis and degenerative disk disease I`m not very happy and still in a lot of pain. I wanted …
I always delisted to be greeted by Angelica she pleasant Abd always on top when it comes to dealing me and miss my Kristin
Dr. Thorson and his Nurse completely discriminated against me. This seems to be a theme here in MN. They refused to help me. Good thing I save all of my notes and medical history. I will see you in court.
I have been a client of Advanced Spine and Pain Clinic for several months now. Every part of this clinic has been a positive experience, from the friendly staff to the very personable doctors and nurses. Recently I went in and had the PRP …
I’ve been a patient here for quite some time and I have always been treated very well from the girls at the front desk and the rest of the staff.
Kristen is the best!!
I have had multiple (painful) procedures with this group and not one time have I been disappointed. The entire staff is no longer only professional, but friendly and always willing to answer questions.
I wouldn’t go anywhere else!
Dr. Thorson has been my pain doctor for a number of years. I have always found him to be very insightful and up on all the current and upcoming treatments that might help keep me active and as pain-free as possible. He has a great staff. …
Dr Dixon is very kind and knowledgeable.
Amazing results with the PRP facial! I had been researching the best long term options to shrink pores and rejuvenate my skin now that I’m in my 40’s. I have had precancerous cells removed in 3 spots on my face so I was also concerned …
The whole experience was superb! The staff was very friendly and made me feel completely comfortable and at ease. Doctor Thorson was very helpful in answering my questions and giving me great advise on persuing my personal goals. I have …
The girls at the front desk are very friendly and helpful.
Kristen also is very friendly a d very understanding of my pain and very easy to talk to about my pain.she has compassion. We need more of her in her field
Patrick is amazing, he takes him to figure out how to get pain under control
Would not recommend this clinic. I got a referral faxed to their office, physically dropped off my MRI report. Told me 5 to 10 working days for them to review options and schedule a appointment. It is now 6 weeks later with no response …
I’ve blown three weeks trying to chase down if they received a fax. That is step one in the process and I have been forced to go cold turkey on my pain meds and I am still weeks away from completing this process. …
5 stars for Kristen, NPC & the staff for the care they provide. I have been a patient of Kristen’s for the past 13 months & always feel like she is attentive and carrying. I do not feel as though I’m a number, rather she looks at what I may …
I highly recommend avoiding this clinic. They are so discompassionate! Patrick doesn’t care about you. Remember that. He’s rude, doesn’t return calls, he WILL let you suffer.
AVOID THIS CLINIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great staff at the front desk. Shawnn was the one that I communicated the most and she is awesome. Marty and Dr. Janiga were so caring and made sure I was comfortable for my medial branch blocks, I had three! I would refer this clinic to anyone.
Drove an hour out here and arrived 45min early to my appointment. Kelly told me the doctor was one-time – great, because I have other appointments today. I waited 20min passed my appointment time before leaving. I understand that doctors …
The clinic receptionist, Angelica, is always very helpful & polite. She goes out of her way to make sure you are scheduled & taken care of. She follows through every call to make sure it is completed, she is phenomenal!! This provider has always been accommodating, helpful, caring and sympathetic to patients. Thank you Angelica!!
This is the worst clinic I have ever been to. Dr Thorson is so unprofessional and has a very big ego. They run drug screens in the clinic and every time I had a “positive” urine then it would go to an outside lab and it was completely …
I have lived with pain for so long I assumed it was natural to be in agony waking up every morning. Some friends and family use this clinic to manage their pain so I decided to check it out. I was finally heard and my pain was managed in a …
Place is very understanding to your needs whether it’s help with pain or doing their best to get rid of it. I would recommend this place to anyone who needs help with pain relief
I have been a regular patient at Advanced Spine and Pain Clinic and have recently had an above and beyond experience with one of the practitioners. Patrick Dixon fought a battle with my insurance company, along with Shawn, not once but …
I have been going to the Wayzata Blvd location for quite some time now and their receptionist Angelica is the absolute best, not only is she friendly and helpful but she always remembers me, she goes out of her way to make sure things go …
I gave the clinic several opportunities to correct a billing issue. I called to make an appointment last Spring. Due to Covid I was told I would receive a call to discuss my needs. I was not told I would be billed for that call. The …
Advanced Spine has been helping me for the last 3+ years. I’ve been dealing with chronic pain for a long time. It was complicated due to multiple contributing factors. Finding the way to Advanced Spine was hitting the jackpot. …
There is no better front desk person than Angelica! She is incredibly professional and the kindest person I know. I can sometimes be a complicated patient, I need different things and to contact different members of staff and she I always …
Advance spine and pain clinic that completely eliminated my back issue without the use of narcotics. I couldn’t be happier!
The doctors here treat you with respect, allowing you to give your own input in …
Dr. Thorson is excellent. He takes his time and asks many questions to understand me and my pain.
Asked about medical cannabis they told me they could do it but it would cost me $200.00 to get my certification I asked why can’t they just charge my ins for the appointment they said oh no we can’t do that when I told my GP about it he …
Wonderful service at the front desk, I’m sorry I can’t say the same thing about the rest of the staff, I was waiting almost two hours with a horrible back pain and on top of that my child sick at home and the back office people didn’t had …
Patrick Dixon is awesome and so is his nurse (I believe her name is Kate?). The lady at the front desk needs some manners though….
Advanced Spine and Pain Clinics Staff is always professional and knowledgeable. They are always willing to listen and try to figure a solution to help your situation. Thank you to everyone there for your hard work.
Don’t waste your time here Dr Thorson is a very rude man and makes his own “laws” and it’s his way or the highway. The other PA’ s are not to much better they are judgemental and don’t seem to care. Most of the front staff people are rude as well I noticed that if they get someone kind and nice they don’t last long.
Very efficient, straightforward care from Dr. Thorson, Patrick, and Lori. There’s no flexibilty in care or any compassion during severe flare-ups, with the exception of Lori. She is compassionate, shows concern when I’m miserable.
Dr. Thorson figured out where my pain was stemming from in 15 minutes. I have been to several other doctors that could not figure out what was wrong and where the pain was coming from in the past 12 years. Highly recommend if you want great treatment, go here!
Patrick Dixon is absolutely great! He has been my pain nurse practitioner for two years and he has taking very good care of me. He is #1 in my book.
I get so much more that help with Pain from your clinic and from Patrick Dixon. He has become a trusted source for my overall wellbeing. I have followed his recommendations and am dealing with the chronic pain more effectively than ever.
Excellent care at this clinic. They show great empathy and concern. Patrick Dixon is very personable and helpful. He engages you in your approach to your health goals and give great options. I was seeking help with weight loss due to pre diabetes and I am no longer pre-diabetic. I highly recommend this clinic.
I went in for a consultation. Based on my first encounter and personal experience at this clinic, I will not recommend it to my family, friends or anyone. The receptionist did not recognize me standing at front desk waiting to be called. …
Very nice place. I would have been lost without them. Patrick Dixon is a great Nurse practitioner he actually listens to you. In fack almost every one there cares about you. I met the owner of the place once you get to know him you would have a hard time finding another one who cares about your welfare than him. Thank you ASP!!!
