Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Very thorough and empathetic!
He did the most detailed intake and exam I've ever had, including compared to my 2 spine surgeons!

Refused to treat me
Bragged incessantly about his credentials and how great a doctor he is. Got angry when I didn't remember the names of all the doctors that sent me on the numerous MRI's I brought with me. Then told me he couldn't help me and stormed out of room. Left me crying and trying to leave but I couldn't walk and other patients in waiting room helped hold me up and get me to my car. Even a office staff lady tried to help. Dr Kallgren was loud, intimidating and cruel.

I had terrible back pain. Someone told me I needed to see a neurosurgeon and he wanted to do surgery and Dr Kallgren save me with from that. He did a RFA and it lasted almost 7 months. What a difference. I can walk again thanks to him pretty awesome doctor

Epidural Injections
After a series of 2 epidural injections my chronic lumbar pain was improved along with the newer, severe rt knee pain that I had been recently suffering from. I had serious doubts when advised that my knee pain might be related to my spinal issues even when he explained this upon review of my MRI's but after 2 epidurals, my knee pain was greatly improved! He knows his stuff and I'm so glad he has joined this practice!

Very attentive.
Dr Kallgren was very attentive to my particular pain issues. He spent time going over different options. After ablation procedure my pain is better but not completely resolved. I confused working with him on this.

Great appt.
Dr. Kallgren took his time to explain treatment options to me-I really appreciated that. I didn’t feel like he was rushing me out of the room like so many experiences I have had in the past. It was the second time I saw him and it was just a great as the first time. Thank you for spending time with me and not rushing me out of the office. ??????

At first not impressed
My first visit with Dr. Kallgren I was not impressed. But giving him a second chance he came across caring and knowledgeable. I recently had a procedure done by him and I was extremely happy. His expertise was very apparent as it was almost painless. He knows what he is doing!

His Time Is Valuable - Yours is NOT
Very disappointed and by far the worst experience I have had with a provider. I was 3 minutes late and had already checked in early traveling over 50 minutes to get to his appt, an appt which I should never have needed had his office staff completed their duty of obtaining records for my first appt (staff had 2+weeks to obtain records for my first appointment - they never called to indicate they did not have records). So, the appointment was useless and I had to schedule another appt. For the second appt, I was traveling over 50 minutes and called the office, went through their long list of prompts. I called when the ETA updated and stated I would be 3 minutes late. I was told via by Renee that the Dr said if I was 1 minute late then I was to be turned away because he had something he had to do. He was 15 minutes late for my first appt by the way.As I stood at the counter, he had just walked out of his appt prior to me and looked at me and yelled at his staff that he would not see me.
