I came to Dr. Templin with a multilevel need. He felt fusing the most prominent concern should be addressed. You can't reverse a fusion he said but can always do another later if the need arises. So grateful for his opinion and surgical expertise. His Team is Awesome at St. Joseph in Joliet. Everyone. I mean everyone treated me with respect and care. His personal, upfront approach was refreshing. I needed to know what was going on and he was so honest about what this would and wouldn't fix. A true answer to my prayers! Eternally grateful.
I had a L4-5 fusion.

Dr Templin is super nice. I had been hit by a car. I had since Dr Templin and he had me go to Modern Pain for shots in the back, They didn't work so he said he could put a spacer r in and 2 screws and he could fix me up. I said go for it. I am 6 weeks out and after the surgery I went back to see him and I was pain free after the surgery. I was in so much pain for14 months. He has a wonderful bed side manner. as well. Also when I went to see him I saw his p a who is very knowledgeable. I saw him in the hallway and he said everything looks great. I said it sure does. I was telling him how I felt and he even gave me a hug. I was so touched. I would recommend him without a doubt. From start to finish he is fantastic. I am out of pain that is all that matters. Big Thank You.

Have congenital spinal stenosis and had laminectomy 18 years ago so when other problems crept in I looked for someone extremely knowledgeable about the spine. Dr. Templin diss replacement and fusion on my cervical spine and we've schedule a fusions on 2 disc in my lumbar. I wouldn't trust anyone else. He's the best.

I have suffered for almost 3 years with electrical shocks to my groin and left thigh from a bulging disc. Other doctors told me I should just live with it! I went to see Dr. Templin, and he said he could help me with a Minimally Invasive Surgery. I am 4 weeks out and I could not be more satisfied with Dr. Templin and his staff. I give him the Highest Rating!
