Providing Comprehensive Healthcare

Ancillary Services

To save you time, extra travel and more waiting for your convenience, we offer on-site access to an array of ancillary (diagnostic/ therapeutic) services, to name a few:

In-House X-ray

Your x-rays are ordered and can be accomplished before or immediately after your examination to get a clear picture of your source of pain or potential disorder. Our experienced radiology technicians can perform them on-site in CSO’s main facility. Results are available almost immediately, and your physician will discuss your diagnosis and treatment options during your initial appointment.

High-Resolution Diagnostic Imaging

Your physician may need an MRI or other high-resolution diagnostic modality before or after your visit to gain a clearer picture of your condition. You can schedule an MRI or other diagnostic modality at Health Images onsite. On the same visit, you can also schedule a follow up visit with your CSO provider. For added convenience, simply pick up MRI results just before your next follow-up appointment. For details, visit healthimages.com.

On-site Lab Tests

To save you another drive and possibly a long 1.5 hour wait at an another lab facility or other hospital, CSO offers on-site blood tests as part of preparation for surgery and on-site urine testing, which may be required for drug screening on the day of your appointment.

Durable Medical Equipment (DME)

To save another drive to another site, CSO offers durable medical equipment (DME), such as orthopedic boots, braces and foot inserts, that you can pick up in our office should your physician order it. Our goal is to save time and save you from waiting.

Electromyography (EMG)

CSO provides on-site electro-diagnostic treatment, such as EMGs. An EMG analyzes the electrical activity in your muscles so your physician can learn more about nerve functioning in the arms and legs. Small, thin needles are placed in the muscle to record the electrical activity. Your doctor will listen and watch a TV-like screen that broadcasts the electrical signals. For more information about electro-diagnostic services at CSO, click HERE.

Surgery Center

The on-site North Metro Surgery Center is a fully-licensed ambulatory surgical center for orthopedic, spine, podiatry and outpatient procedures. Patients enjoy a warm, comfortable environment, enabling them to return home the day of their procedure or stay several nights for observation. Patients also receive individualized attention to minimize the stress of surgery. A highly skilled team of registered nurses and medical technicians will assist your surgeon.

Follow up appointment with Dr. Rumley who is always professional and takes an interest in what I have to say. I appreciate the way he includes my opinion in our discussion and provides a thorough treatment plan. The staff is always professional and friendly.

Kristina Venable is a nurse practitioner at the Center for Spine & Orthopedics. After meeting with Dr Leimbach (who takes excellent care of my back issues) he has started having Kristina handle my pain issues. She is kind as well as thorough. For an old lady like me, I know when a person cares. Both Dr Leimbach and Kristina have shown me that care.

My first experience with Alexis was great. Very thorough. She spent a fair amount of time listening to my questions and concerns. I will look forward to seeing her again in one month.

Dr. Levy has made me feel comfortable going into my neck surgery. I loved the fact that he wanted to check all the boxes before just jumping into surgery amd was thorough on his diagnosis. Front staff could be a bit more friendly, but really is my only complaint. As there are very neutral/monotone.

I have been impressed with the staff's communication, empathy, and professionalism. That extends from the administrative assistants to the doctor. Appointments are easy to schedule, my wait times are minimum, and I get complete treatment for what I am there for. Dr. Eric Kuhlman has an easy demeanor and listens to patient input. His treatment plan has been simple and easy to follow. I would recommend him as a practitioner and the Center for Spine & Orthopedics as an overall facility to anyone. Thanks!

Wonderful staff. From the warm greeting at the front desk to the exit greeting from the nurse and front desk staff. Dr. Lembach was professional and very helpful. Also considered not only my limitations but my pain. Very informative and willing to answer any questions I had. Loved my experience and would travel another 2 hours if needed to see this team again.
