:) Click to report rating    7/24/09 5 5 5 5  My Mother asked an Orthopedic Surgeon in a different state, "If you needed a Lumbar Fusion, who would you have do it?" His answer was Dr. James Schwender in Minneapolis. That's how I found Dr. Schwender. He removed the cages that were put in my spine by a different surgeon and fused my Lumbar Spine with screws and rods in 2005. My low back pain was finally under control. I would highly recommend Dr. Schwender to anyone who is looking for a state of the art surgeon. I found that he is very straight forward with you and he really knows his ****. Though he is a very busy man, he always treated me with a great deal of care and took the time to make sure I understood everything about my problem. He is a credit to his profession and is worth his weight in gold. If I have any further problems I know I can count on him and his staff.

:) Click to report rating    1/8/09 5 4 5 5  Dr Schwender is the most professional surgeon that I consulted with prior to having surgery. After exhausting all other options he still waited for me to make the decision to have the surgery. Only after the surgery did he tell me that I made the right choice. He changed my life completely. I went from giving up activity after activity (because of pain) prior to surgery, to now enjoying all the things that I used to love to do. I think he even added a few yards to my driving. I have nothing but respect for him, and would recommend him to any of my family or friends.

:) Click to report rating    10/21/08 5 4 5 5  I have always felt that Dr Schwender has had my best interest through out the years that I have been seeing him. He has been helpful in pain management, and he has recommended only the surgeries that he felt would help me the most. The follow up visits were very helpful also. He and his staff have made me feel that any question I ask is important. Great Doctor and great team!

:) Click to report rating    6/25/08 5 4 5 5  Dr. James Schwender is an excellant surgeon. I had surgery in April 2008 and I believe he has given me a life back without the pain I had prior to the surgery. He is kind, gentle, and his staff is excellant..I cannot brag enough. My family is very pleased.

:) Click to report rating    9/27/07 5 5 5 5  I had an L5/S1 minimally invasive TLIF with instrumentation on me last year. I had grade 1 spondylolisthesis with a broken pars bone that eventually left me with 24/7 pain and radiculopathy down my left leg. The result is I no longer have 24/7 pain.
