My neighbor knew you by reputation. You took me out of my wheelchair and gave me back my golf life – I can not say thank you enough for being the magician you are.

Just a line to say “thank you” for the great care I received from you. The cure was immediate and the recuperation was fast. I was always comfortable and felt that I was truly in good “hands.” Thank you again.

Dear Cary,

Thank you does not seem adequate to express my thanks for your expertise regarding my spinal MRI. It was so kind of you to take the time to study it and then call and talk to me about it. I so appreciated your insight as to what is happening to my back as well as solutions to the problem. I will keep you posted!

Dear Dr. Templin,

Good news Report :):
Today, I only took two aspirin & used no topical analgesics. Just now it occurred to me that it is exactly three months since the day of injury (6/26). I wanted to share this wonderful event with you because you have been my “rock.” Oh sure, I still have local tenderness & become very sore with normal activity. However yesterday, I noticed it is treatable with ice & rest. Your optimism & encouragement shepherded me through a very tough time. Your analysis and plan of care has guided me to the brink of wellness. From the deepest part of my heart. Thank You!

The kindness of strangers is amazing! Thank you so much for your assistance, compassion, caring and professionalism during my “incident” on the United flight from Cancun to Chicago. I have never had an allergic reaction before and traveling alone certainly didn’t help. Please know you made my situation more bearable. If it wasn’t for your assistance and knowledge, things could have turned out much differently. I am fine and doing well.

I only wish I could thank you in person. You truly touched my heart that day!!

Dear Dr. Templin,

“Stellar” is the word that came to me in thinking about your service and care that I experienced at both your office and at the hospital as your patient. I was surprised to actually find a card with that word on it, but knew it was the right card for you!

Very professional and friendly people. My particular problem was examined in detail, and my questions were answered. I am very satisfied with the care I received from Dr. Templin.
Magdalena C.


I had a L3-4 Lateral Fusion done by Dr. Templin in December of 2015. Three and a half weeks after my surgery I returned to work full time! Prior to surgery, Dr. Templin ordered physical therapy and injections. He wanted to be certain that surgical intervention was the correct and best option for me. He showed compassion and concern for me before, during, and after my surgery. I am continuing to do very well and no longer experience back or leg pain! Dr. Templin is an extremely skilled surgeon. I am very thankful to Dr. Templin and his staff!
Liz D.


I was pleased with the professional manner of all the staff that I interfaced with.

Dr. Templin was very easy to talk to and listened to me. He actually spends time with the patient, not just a rush in and out type of Dr. I also like the fact that he is so personable.
