Dr. Spartz graduated from the University of Minnesota in 2004. She received her training in Family Medicine and Occupational Medicine at St. Joseph's Hospital and Region's Hospital. She also earned a Master's Degree in Public and Environmental Health from the University of Minnesota.
As an Occupational Medicine Specialist, Dr. Spartz has a large body of experience dealing with chronic neck and/or back pain. Unfortunately, she has also seen the devastation that can occur when back and neck pain interferes with one's job and life.
She believes strongly in the fitness approach to chronic pain championed at PNBC and looks forward to helping patients get back to an active lifestyle without pain.
