JoAnne A.

Dr. Moeller is an expert on elbows. She did a thorough exam and recommended a test on my nerves first. After the tests, she recommended the surgery and explained the process in detail. The surgery went extremely well, and her team called the following day to ensure I was doing well. I had two follow up visits and after 8 weeks my arm and fingers have no nerve issues or numbness. I highly recommend Dr. Moeller and team.

I love Dr. Moeller. I’m a big baby when it comes to surgery but I was confident because she was confident. My broken/shattered bone in my hand is 100% repaired with full mobility. Other than faint evidence of slight scar, I have full mobility and no visual evidence of any break. It looks perfect and feels great.

I want to express my utmost gratitude to you, your team, and the whole TCO team. We ended up in your care under very unfortunate circumstances with a little girl who was very traumatized by her injury. The TCO team was so gracious, patient and caring. I could not thank you guys enough. From the person who answered my call at the call center and got us an appointment with Dr. Moeller, while keeping me on the phone for 30 minutes to figure out how to make it happen on the same day. Wow what persistence and care to maneuver all the pieces to make it happen. To the care team in the office who was so respectful of my daughter and her needs, not once minimizing her feelings, or being annoyed at her crying. To you, who stayed with us while we called insurance to figure out if your clinic was in network for our insurance. And of course, Dr. Moeller who took such great care of our little girl while having to change surgery locations.

Honestly from the bottom of my heart thank you so very much. Thank you for the work you are doing. Your efforts and care does not go unnoticed by our family.

Please pass along this message to your higher ups. I want your superiors to know what an outstanding job you are all doing.

Dr. Moeller is very knowledgeable and takes the time to truly listen to her patients. I am very grateful for her thorough examination of my injury and ongoing care to assist me in reaching maximum potential with a post right wrist fracture. She explains things in detail and provides realistic options for treatment with comprehensive follow up to measure progress.
I definitely feel that she has my best interests in perspective. Thank you for your ongoing expertise and care.

After many years playing the harp, piano, and violin, my fingers have developed aches and pains, along with trigger fingers. I went first to one doctor and had a bad experience, so I asked Dr. Seybold who he would recommend and he told me about Dr. Moeller. I feel like I won the lottery for doctors! She was wonderful. So patient, kind, and extremely knowledgeable. I will never use another hand doctor after experiencing an office visit and procedure with her. I highly recommend her; you will be impressed!

What a great day it was! My surgery was scheduled and performed on time, as promised- by my wonderful surgeon, the best there is, Dr. Moeller. My time in the operating room was filled with smiles and laughter as we chatted away the surgery being performed on my wrist. Before I knew it, we were done. I didn’t have to be put under, pain was controlled, but only lasted a day and my recovery has been wonderful. The scar is barely visible. In fact, I had another doc tell me the incision work was great. Thank you, Dr. Moeller, you released my carpal tunnel so I can finally conduct my life as a two handed person! Bye-bye numbness, hello hand!

I just wanted to take a moment to let anyone interested in hand surgery to consult with Dr. Amy Moeller at Twin Cities Orthopedics (TCO). I, and my family, have had to utilize TCO on a number of occasions, and then recently I required surgery on my hand. Dr. Amy Moeller was recommended to me, and subsequently, she performed very successful surgery on my hand. I cannot speak highly enough about her abilities, as well as the attitude and performance of her team – from greeting/scheduling, to surgical environment, to the surgery itself and after-care. And I would have to emphasize her “bedside manner” – Dr. Moeller is outstanding in listening, understanding and relating. I have in the past done some consulting concerning operating room environments and safety – and hers was exemplary. Should anyone reading this need hand surgery, Dr. Moeller is the finest.
