Dr. Agren removed successfully my herniated disc in December 1995. I had been in continual pain for several months. I was home in my own bed by 11:30am the morning of the surgery. The pain was totally gone. I healed quickly and regained full function - golfing, gardening, biking. He was always professional, kind, and patient. Sixteen years later I am still very grateful for his expertise.

I fractured three vertebrae and was sent to Dr Agren because my primary doctor said he’s the best in the state. I had some reservations because of the reviews written here, however I trust my doctor and had the appointment with Dr. Agren. My daughter accompanied me because she works in the health field and wanted to listen to the prognosis and ask questions.I was so grateful and delighted with Dr. Agren. He introduced himself to both of us with a smile and handshake. He went over the MRI results and X-rays showing us visually what was wrong. He listened patiently to our questions and concerns, and then answered with clarity and compassion. I am 67 and live alone, so naturally I had some concerns. Dr Agren took time to help me with my natural fears of the, “what ifs” in the future. My daughter was very impressed with his thoroughness and personality.I am on my third follow up visit and again, Dr.Agren arrives and greets me with a handshake, a smile and has a wonderful and engaging personality. My fears are gone even if the back issues will be issues forever. My experience with Dr. Agren gave me a sense of confidence, because from the first hello he showed he was sincerely invested in giving me the best treatment he has to offer.In conclusion, I suggest that those considering Dr Agren go. That if you are looking at reviews please try various sites and not one with just 3 (now 4 with mine). Also, you go to his office and ask the staff for exit reviews which are available. Remember, good doctors certainly are out there, but great doctors are few. They are in a class of their own, and willing to try harder to get the best results while never compromising the patients health.Trust me, I checked and asked many people and friends in the medical field about Dr. Agren and everyone has said the same thing.....Dr Agren is one of the great ones.

Wonderful doctor!!! Kind, compassionate, and explains everything in a way to make all the medical jargon understandable. I suffered daily migraines for 4 years before agreeing to cervical fusion in 2008. The surgery and his aftercare has made such a difference in my quality of life.

Wouldn’t recommend very rude doctor. His staff are great himself I wouldn’t recommend. He isn’t prompt on notes so you wait a week or more for other doctors to be able to send out needed insurance forms. He calls you by the wrong name it was a very awkward visit. Then stood at door waiting to leave the entire time.
