Ronaele S. (pictured on left) was thankful that she did not have any pain after her spine surgery with Jeffrey C. Dick, M.D. (pictured on right), of Twin Cities Orthopedics Edina. “Before surgery I found it painful to stand and walk,” she said, “not a good quality of life.” The morning after her surgery the physical therapist helped Ronaele stand up and “there was no pain,” she said.
