Dr. Koski is a highly skilled surgeon, filiarizes the medical history before meeting the patient. He heavily stresses overall health, especially bone health before considering surgical procedures to ensure the best possible outcome. Dr. Koski is involved in patient care even without being present at every visit. This was my 3rd spinal fusion. The surgery was revision and extension, but my recovery this far has been the best of all 3. Dr. Koski & team has been the best at monitoring my recovery, with genuine concern.

Not withstanding his overwhelming surgical skill, his ability to "cut to the chase" in describing what the surgery entails,your improvement after surgery and how long your rehab may take.

Dr Koski, besides being an excellent surgeon, runs a very efficient group of doctors and nurses. They all know what’s going on with your specific case.

He has great OUTCOMES from his SINE SURGERIES. He is extremely thorough in determining the type of surgery one needs to correct one’s spinal problem. He makes sure that you are healthy enough to have a lengthy surgery. He also wants your input as to the surgery you think is best for you. My personal decision was to let him so what he thought was best for me. I’m not the Neurosurgeon, Dr. Koski is. I trusted his judgment and I was right to do so. Again it’s the OUTCOME.

Dr. Koski gets my highest recommendation . I would give him an 11 if I could. He is a fantastic surgeon . Originally I did not want to travel 33 miles from Schaumburg to Northwestern Memorial so I saw an orthopedic surgeon and a neurosurgeon near me and when I discovered this will be a major surgery I decided to see Dr Koski. He was my family DR first choice He explained my situation and showed me the issues on my MRI and back X-rays in detail. His recommendation was a MIS TLIF on bevels 3-4 and 4-5 which the other surgeons were not willing to do. I remember telling him I told him I was 98% sure I was going to pick him and he told me thie appointment was for me to thoroughly review his information and him and take my time making a decision The surgery went fantastic . All my neurogenic claudification in the back of my legs was gone The majority of my pain was from the stitches and have lower back pain which was less than I was expecting His CNA’s Alex and Ange get back to you with minutes when you send them a question

My wife [name], and I met with Dr. Tyler Koski on [date]. I had heard he was one of the top surgeons for my ailment. Both [name] and I were highly impressed with his calm, knowledgeable, and sincere demeanor. He could have entered the meeting room wearing a Super Surgeon cape, as he was most impressive. He explained why I was not a candidate for surgery, but made it clear, he was on my team to hear take care of any request or answer questions about my injury. A 20 out of 10 would be reasonable for our experience with Dr. Tyler.
