Patient Testimonials

Dr. Comfort is seriously the BEST!

I had left thumb surgery with Dr. Dwivedi. I am very pleased with my results, and my healing is going great. I no longer have to wear the brace, my pain in gone and I continue to improve every day. Occupational therapy was helpful and continues to be beneficial to my recovery. I really liked working with Dr. Dwivedi. He is very informative, listens well, and provides great direction. The instructions I was given regarding the surgery, what to expect, and recovery care were very clear. Overall, I am very pleased with my experience.

In 2021 and 2022, I had my left and right knee replacements done with Dr. Eric Busse. He is wonderful! He used robotics for a quad sparing technique replacement. I have had no complications since he has the best surgical skill and outcomes. I have sent family members and friends to him, and their outcomes have been excellent as well. I am a Registered Nurse, so I was very picky about who I wanted as my orthopedic surgeon. I can honestly say I picked the best! Thank you to Dr. Busse and his team!

Jillian loved every minute of her return to the ice and got to experience it all with her younger sister playing beside her. She could not have done it without Dr. Hess’ expertise and extraordinary surgical skills, as well as all the TCO staff that assisted with her surgery and recovery. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

I had trigger finger surgery with Dr. Dwivedi and am very pleased with my results! My healing is going very well. Dr. Dwivedi is a great physician. He is very detailed, thorough, and excellent with execution. He explained and communicated everything very well which is appreciated. I would highly recommend him!

I was lucky enough to have an appointment with Dr. Miller on March 3rd. I have daily finger stiffness and pain extending to all joints in my hand. Dr. Miller was very detail-oriented when reviewing my blood test results and took the time to carefully review my medical history. He was very patient when listening to experiences involving my joint pain development. He provided me with a solid conclusion and helped me find a solution to my joint pain at the end of the visit. I have two sons; one is a physician and the other is a medical student. I told them that Dr. Miller is very professional and a role model to young doctors in how they should serve their patients with loving hearts.

I recently celebrated the first anniversary of my second knee replacement, which was performed in March 2025 by Dr. Scott Anseth and his outstanding team. I had my first knee replacement in 2019 and experienced the same excellent outcome. I was playing tennis at six months, with full, unrestricted play by eight months. I am currently playing three to four times a week.

I have been in the medical device industry for over thirty years and have worked alongside thousands of highly qualified, professional, and caring physicians who consistently deliver quality results. Without a doubt, Dr. Anseth, Heidi Bolgren, PA-C, and the surgical team at Twin Cities Orthopedics are among the very best. I am grateful for their outstanding patient-centric care!

As an aside, the second surgery was performed at the TCO Chaska same day surgery center. What a phenomenal experience! From check-in to discharge, the entire staff was exceptional. Thank you to all!

From my initial visit to the surgery, I was so impressed with Dr. Arntson. His people skills are fantastic, and he is very easy to talk to. My surgery was a great success! He was excellent with the follow-up after surgery as well. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to have a hip replacement.

I had thumb fracture surgery with Dr. Dwivedi and was very pleased with my experience. Everything went smoothly and my healing is going very well. I would highly recommend Dr. Dwivedi!

I can’t say enough about Dr. LaPrade and his staff. I had a partial bicep tear and a full rotator cuff rupture of my left arm/shoulder. I previously had surgery on my right shoulder back in 2016 and it was a tough one. It was through another orthopedic clinic, but the pain was excruciating and the recovery was difficult. This injury was more complex than my previous, so I was dreading the surgery and recovery. I have had numerous orthopedic surgeries over the years (around 15) and have had some painful recoveries. I was astonished when I was home that evening and the pain was kept to a dull ache. I kept waiting for the nerve block to wear off and send me into a tailspin, but it didn’t happen. Dr. LaPrade’s work was nothing short of amazing in my experience. I had a steady and progressive recovery, but I never once had a setback or had to tolerate any high pain levels. My recovery is approaching the three-month mark and I’m happy to report that I should be returning to work soon. I can then move towards getting my strength back to normal.
