What makes us different?

One third of all adult Americans have sought medical care for a back problem.

Some will begin the search for relief with their family doctor. Others consult with a physician who specializes in the treatment of "back problems". But exactly what kind of physician should you choose?

At the North Institute the staff partners with the patient in every phase of treatment and recovery. You no longer need to make a choice. Two doctors from two different disciplines of spinal care have joined together to create an enhanced treatment plan to care for your back problems. All you know is your back is hurting and you want to feel better! How should the average person, with an aching back and no medical background know which type of doctor to select?

Dr. John Logan, Orthopaedic Surgeon, and Dr. Donald Dietze, Neurosurgeon, created the North Institute because they are determined to produce the best outcome for people suffering from back pain.

"It's two for one," says Dr. John Logan, Orthopaedic Surgeon and co-founder of the North Institute. "Our patients really love the idea. Dr. Dietze and I conference about every patient. North Institute patients benefit from the expertise of us both."

When we operate together. It's like having a second opinion built in to your treatment.

The North Institute's approach combines both orthopaedic and neurological expertise with physical medicine. Dr. Susan-Bryant-Snure a rehabilitation specialist and sports medicine specialist Dr. Richard Texada Jr. are both important members of the North Institute care Team. Combine this with a state-of-the-art physical therapy gym and their own x-ray department, and you can see what makes us stand out from the rest not only because of innovative technology but the ability to care for our patients all under one roof.

The North Institute wants patients, their families and loved ones to know they don't have to accept a life of pain and immobility. Our entire team lives by the Institute's motto:

"WE GIVE BACK LIFE"
