When you’re living with constant neck or back pain, you don’t just want answers—you want someone who truly listens.
That’s what Kristi found with Dr. John Styliaras, Neurosurgeon at Winona Health. From the very beginning, care focused on understanding what she was experiencing, talking through her symptoms, and reviewing her scans together so she felt informed and supported in every step.
“I am several weeks post-op from my second surgery with Dr. Styliaras, and I’m healing very well. I’ve never had a doctor make me feel so comfortable and truly cared for throughout the process of surgery.

He has a sense of calm, along with a bit of humor, that most neurosurgeons just don’t normally have. He’s a special person. Dr. Styliaras has masterful skill—“magic hands,” I would say. He finds the best course of action, especially when he’s actually operating and can see what’s going on.
For anyone out there who is suffering with back or neck problems, I highly recommend seeing Dr. Styliaras, as he could change your life as he did mine. He is someone I will cherish as both my doctor and a person, as he truly is a rare gem.
Thank you, Dr. Styliaras, for the best care in the world—from me and my family, who are also so grateful to you!”
Now, after her second surgery, Kristi is healing well and getting more of her life back.
She encourages anyone suffering with neck or back problems not to wait to seek care, adding that her experience has been truly life-changing.
Because when care starts with listening, everything that follows feels different. Local care, world-class results. Neurosurgery expertise you can trust.
