Overview

She provides nonsurgical neck, back, and spine care, serving Minneapolis/St. Paul metro patients. Dr. Choi completed an interventional pain management fellowship at the University of Chicago. “Part of my approach to care is providing patient education,” she notes. “I want my patients to see the imaging that explains what they are feeling and what’s happening to them. Then, I help them understand the available options, from conservative treatments to surgery. I guide them, but ultimately it’s up to patients to choose the path they want to take. If one treatment doesn’t work, we’ll keep looking for another option.”.
