Neurosurgical Services

Drs. Kim and Feldkamp hold privileges at:

• Abbott Northwestern Hospital
• Maple Grove Ambulatory Surgery Center

The decision about your surgery hospital will depend on a number of factors including the type of procedure, your preference, your insurance, and referring physicians’ affiliations.

For patients with spine problems, please note that as a small subspecialty neurosurgery practice, we evaluate and perform spine surgeries for neurological problems that arise from the spine, such as arm or leg pain, weakness, numbness, incoordination etc. We do not manage patients with back or neck pain if they do not have such neurological problems coming from the spine.

We respect our patients’ time and money (in these days of high deductibles). We also need to ensure that we have time available to evaluate and take care of patients who can benefit from our particular expertise. For these reasons, we review all referrals and will offer appointments only to those patients who we feel will benefit from consulting with one of our physicians.
