Hear What Other Patients Have to Say

Great staff! Everyone was very respectful to my elderly Mother who was there to have check-up for her Scoliosis.

When steroid injections no longer worked, I decided to have back surgery. I asked if there were exercises I could do before surgery and Dr. Even immediately set me up with PT for the weeks prior to surgery. The day after I came home from surgery, the home health physical therapist began working with me 3 days/week. 3 weeks later I was cleared for outpationt therapy at TMI. Shelby Beal was excellent - not only giving me print-outs of exercises to do at home, but explaining the hows and whys of each exercise I did at TMI. The pain in my lower back is totally gone and I only need to continue working to strengthen the muscles. The doctors and staff at TMI make sure the patient has all the help needed for a successful rehabilitation.

Dr Even is the best! He performed my ACDF in 2019 and I had the best recovery. I have since moved out of state, so, when I needed a second opinion on another issue I traveled 3 1/2 hrs back to him to get his opinion. I would trust him with any issue.
