Innovative Neurosurgery Associates

The first time I went was to get a second opinion about having spinal surgery. I liked Dr. Paulson, so I decided on him to be my surgeon if I were to have surgery. Now, several years later, I feel closer to having surgery, so I tried to go back for a consult. They kept rescheduling me, I don't how many times. I live a 5-hour drive away from Anchorage. I nearly lost my Medicaid travel privileges because of the rescheduling. Once I finally got that all arranged, which was very stressful for me, and took up a lot of the front-person's time at my local doctor's office, I went to Anchorage to find out they needed to reschedule me yet again because Dr. Paulson wasn't there that day.

Worst place I’ve ever been with a dr whose bedside manner is one of the worst I’ve seen in a long time. Dr Todd will forever keep #1 for the worst, but Dr Paulson definitely has the #2 spot.

A surgeon and PA-C who do not immediately want to perform surgery and want to exhaust all options to help alleviate your pain without an immediate invasive procedure? YES, they really do exist! When I made the appointment to consult with Dr. Paulsen, I was worried that I would just be another number and I would not be heard.

I did not immediately want to commit to another procedure, but felt as though my options were limited. Enter Dr. Paulsen and his PA, Darcie. When making the appointment, I worked with the Practice Manager, Ashley who is an absolute delight. She communicated everything to me on how the practice runs, and what to expect at my first appointment. She was very profes

I was unable to walk or function without crippling back pain after an injury sustained months ago which progressively got more severe over time. Dr Paulson and his team after one visit were compassionate and kind, most importantly, tremendously effective. Their recommendations and course of action had me set on a path to healing in 8 days. Thank you, Dr Paulson, Ms Sorensen, and Team.

Best Doctor and tries very hard to meet and understand his patience You go Paulson
