During the first visit I was confident that Dr. Ostrup was the best choice - he used a high resolution display to show me the extent of my stenosis and clearly defined the risks/rewards of the recommended procedure - the results were outstanding. Erica, his Practice Manager, provided exceptional follow-up and expedited arrangements to prepare for surgery - as a neuro orthopaedic surgeon, Dr. Ostrup has a unique combination of skills and extensive experience giving me the confidence to work with him to perform this complicated surgery.

I contacted Dr. Ostrup because of lower back issues and he ended up performing a 4-level ALIF surgery on my spine. I appreciated his approach and his care in ensuring that I understood exactly what the surgery would entail. He was very straightforward about what the surgery would/wouldn't accomplish and that helped me make my decisions. Dr. Ostrup changed my life in a very positive way through his skill and expertise. The surgery greatly improved my function and quality of life in addition to tremendously reducing pain. Dr. Ostrup is my hero and I cannot thank or praise him enough! Also, his assistant Erica's overall support was a major help to me throughout the many months that I was under Dr. Ostrup's care. She is so proactive and attends to all administrative details impeccably.
(Total length of consultation/care = approximately 8 months.)

Dr. Ostrup and his Staff did an amazing job on helping me through my toughest time. I was diagnosed with a Meningioma that was affecting my vision by pressing on my Optic Nerve and extreme head pressure. He reviewed several MRI's and discussed my situation with his colleagues on how and what was the best procedure to move forward with the removal of the Meningioma. I liked that he did not rush to surgery and he discussed my situation with me and my wife. Dr. Ostrup and his staff cared how I felt and would do what was needed for my well being. Post operative care was amazing, nothing was left to chance with any issue that I may or would have had. I am 15 weeks past surgery, feeling great and on my way back to being healthy. I truly appreciate what he and his staff have done for me and my family.

Dr. Ostrup and his staff have been very help and kind throughout my surgery process. I had been dealing with lower back and leg pain for years and the pain injections I was receiving were working less and less. When I finally decided to have surgery to eliminate the spinal stenosis in vertebrae L2-L5, the process was made very smooth by Dr. Ostrup and his office manager Erica. I am very pleased with the communication Dr. Ostrup and his office kept with me after surgery to ensure I was healing as intended. Dr. Ostrup is a no nonsense type of doctor and super easy to communicate with. I am happy to tell everyone I am pain free and almost back to normal activities 11 weeks after surgery.

I ruptured my disc between L3-L4 and after about two months of visiting my chiropractor and coming home in greater pain than I went in with, I decided one day to go to the ED. I am so thankful I did since I received a referral to Dr. Ostrup and my life changed for the better at that moment. When my wife and I went in for our first visit we were immediately impressed with Dr. Ostrup's manner. He was confident, explained what had happened, and showed us what had happened on the CT Scan. He recommended surgery which we agreed to. Here I am, two months later almost back to normal. We greatly admire Dr. Ostrup and would recommend him to anyone. The office staff was great too, especially Erica. She was a delight and helped us navigate the process.

I rarely take the time to write a review. However my excellent experience with Dr. Ostrup and his staff have compelled me to share my thoughts. I suffered from Spinal Stenosis for 2 years. I experienced daily leg pain that would not relent. I was referred to a Neurologist who referred me to Dr. Ostrup and suggested that I should get an MRI before seeing Dr. Ostrup, which I did. The MRI showed clearly that I needed a Spinal Decompression (L4/L5). Dr. Ostrup's staff was professional, caring and supportive throughout the process. The surgery went well, and I only needed to stay at the hospital overnight for observation. Right away my leg pain was GONE and it felt amazing to walk without having to bend over, which is what I did to avoid the pain. Within just a few days after the surgery I was pain free and on the mend. I am writing this review six weeks post surgery and I believe I am 100%.

Dr. Ostrup is a highly experienced Neurosurgeon with impeccable credentials. He is also a very kind and respectful person, and explained everything clearly to me. I feel so fortunate to have had him as my Neurosurgeon. He made me feel comfortable from our very first meeting. Please consider Dr. Ostrup and his staff if you need services they provide. I could not be happier with my experience. They are a truly amazing team of medical professionals!

From the moment I entered the office and was escorted back by Nurse Practitioner Jeremy Bird, I knew I was in good hands. Mr. Bird explained what was wrong with my disc and patiently explained the procedure. Dr. Ostrup walked in and confirmed I needed surgery. His office staff was so good to me even though I was in the worst pain of my life and cranky! When I woke up from surgery, the pain was gone! My post op pain was well controlled and I got to have a very educational chat with Dr. Ostrup.

I had a very rare infection called Spinal Epidural Abscess which caused nerve compression. Thanks to Dr. Ostrup who performed an emergency surgery, I barely felt pain after the surgery and I had a speedy recovery! Had it not gone been so prompt and successful, I could have end up paralyzed. I am so grateful for his professionalism and expertise in his work. Additionally, his practice manager, Erica Ebert, was very helpful, friendly and efficient in providing all paperwork and necessary information. I would highly recommend Dr. Ostrup and his team!
