Thank GOD for Dr. Schultz...he made certain I knew ALL the issues and problems that might arise...I lost count of the forms I signed... I'm older and kinda wish I still had it...but I just wanted to say that chronic pain forces people to look to everyone everywhere to make it stop.

Unlike so many other pain clinics, Twin Cities Pain Clinic is not here to just write prescriptions.

They will recommend non-prescription techniques of relieving pain such as aquatic exercises, injections, etc.They take the time to listen and recommend best treatments for you. If you are not improving, they will continue to try various treatments until you get the pain relief you need. I personally recommend Stephanie Drew. She is, in my opinion, best in class and truly a rare gem in this crazy medical world.

Would give zero stars if it was possible. Went to TCPC after living with 10 years of severe Lumbar…read moreradiculopathy affecting my left leg. Met with a NP, who told me that she would never prescribe anything for the pain and that the intrathecal pain pump was my only option. I had previously tried the spinal cord stimulator with failing results. After the "trial" I ended up with a spinal fluid leak, leading to excruciating headaches. After days of calling, they finally scheduled a procedure to fix the leak. I should have seen the signs then, but was so hopeful to have relief. Had the pain pump installed and thought everything was fine and I would finally live with less pain. Little did I know, the pump would be empty before the date they told me to come back on and I was forced to endure morphine withdrawals on my own. Phone calls went unanswered and portal messages ignored. When my NP finally responded to me via the portal, she blamed the emptying on me. Fast forward to round 2, I asked for a medication change due to the side effects I was experiencing, was given the change but again was forced to withdrawal because they will not return phone calls asking for a fill. I am so done, I will have the pump removed and learn to live in pain. Do your homework!!!

I opted for PT and after a couple weeks of no results I went searching and came across MN Disc Institute. Meeting with Dr. Jamy was the best thing that could have happened. First off I cannot thank him enough for giving me the flexibility with everything going on in my life when we 1st met with the different pay options, etc. Without the treatment he provided me, I would not be where I am at today. I think its been about a year or so since my last treatment and I can say I am still pain free. I have been able to complete a couple rounds of P90X one as a super modified version as more of rehab and core strengthening and another where I was able to go at it and get back in shape. I am just finishing up my 1st round of P90X2 in preparation for Tough Mudder (Google it if you don't know what it is). Again, a big thanks for everything he did to help me get back to living normal again.

I asked him why he doesn't do MACI anymore, but he wouldn't say why. He emailed me back saying to email his administrator, Amanda Peña, to arrange for him to review my records. I emailed her about getting my records to him, asked what his reasoning is for not doing MACI anymore, and if he would recommend OCA for me. She did not answer any of my questions and just said that he would be happy to review my imaging and records, and that he can't offer a full recommendation without also doing a physical examination. I emailed Amanda on May 18 asking when would be the earliest appointment available, and again, asked what his reasoning is for not doing MACI anymore and if he does OCA. She did not respond. I tried emailing her, calling her, left voicemails, and submitted my questions/request for an appointment on Dr. LaPrade's website and on the TCOMN website. No one ever responded. I didn't know what else to do, so I contacted the records department on June 10. They responded to me on June 16 and said that someone would reach out to me. Christa Johnson, a Patient Advocate, told me that LaPrade wouldn't take on my case. I emailed her back and told her that Dr. LaPrade said he wouldn't make treatment recommendations without examining me and reviewing my reports. I asked her why that changed. I also told her that the last surgeon I saw was the only one out of everyone I've seen who recommended MACI/TTO, so it didn't make sense to continue treatment with him. Furthermore, I wanted to get care locally in MN, and Dr. LaPrade was recommended to me. Christa never responded to my questions or emailed me back. I tried emailing Dr. LaPrade again about getting an appointment ASAP. No one responded. Because of the lack of communication I received, I didn't know what else to do other than to drive to the clinic to schedule an appointment since no one was helping me. The following week I get a voicemail from Paula. She says that Dr. LaPrade is not going to take on my case. I call her back and ask why, but she won't explain. To sum it up, I am beyond frustrated and disappointed with the lack of communication and consideration of Dr. LaPrade and his team. They are disrespectful, neglectful, and it is completely inexcusable for them to treat me the way they did. I spent almost 2 months trying to get an appointment, and in the end, it was a huge waste of my time and energy. And it was a major letdown. I wouldn't recommend him to anyone.

I couldn't readily identify the source of the pain nor attribute it to anything I had recently done. It got progressively worse over the course of the day, and got to a point that I knew I needed help. I wasn't sure if I needed to see a doctor, a chiropractor, a masseuse, or someone else. I happened upon Kim Pilgrim's website and decided to give it a try. Gently and patiently, Kim's therapy coaxed out whatever pull/kink I had developed. I felt quite a bit better by the end of the session, and felt progressively better that evening. By the time I woke up the following morning, no pain remained. Thank you Kim! Your therapy was magic and exactly what I needed!
