She completed an Orthopedic Traum­­a Fellowship at nearby Hennepin County Medical Center, and a Limb Lengthening and Reconstruction Fellowship at The Rubin Institute for Advanced Orthopedics in Baltimore, Maryland.

After fellowship, Dr. Wood returned to Minnesota to provide expert fracture care to patients in the region. She practices at the Twin Cities Orthopedics clinic in Robbinsdale.

Peggy C.

My mother broke her left hip a few months ago. It was suggested by Dr. Wood that my mother should have surgery on her left hip. She is 87 years old and very precious to all of us. Dr. Wood was the most caring patient Doctor I’ve ever come across. She reassured my mother about the surgery and talked to her a few times about it also. She was in great hands and we couldn’t be more appreciative of the excellent care that Dr. Wood and her team gave my mother. Thanks SO very much!

I was involved in a car accident in Oct. 2016, where someone crossed the center line and hit me and my wife. I was airlifted to North Memorial. Dr. Wood performed several surgeries as I had extensive damage to my lower extremities. She is AWESOME! Everything went very well and when I needed another surgery for a minor adjustment, that went great as well. I would HIGHLY recommend her and her staff. She is a caring, informative and described everything she was going to do.. Bedside manner is awesome. I can not say enough about her and her staff. EXCELLENT JOB Jennifer.. High FIVE!

I sustained a traumatic injury to my lower right leg in September and was taken to the trauma unit at North Memorial. Dr. Wood performed a procedure the next day to externally fixate my lower leg. Two weeks later, she removed the external fixator and placed internal fixation hardware on the affected bones. My recovery has been swift and without hassle. Best of all, I am returning to the active lifestyle that I had enjoyed prior to the accident. There has been no residual joint pain, even though the break was also in my ankle. Dr. Wood’s confidence and competency were never in question throughout the entire process. Her support staff went above and beyond regularly to answer any questions and help us out. Nick was particularly helpful. My recovery is not yet complete, but I am getting pretty close. My family and I are beyond grateful for the efforts of Dr.Wood and her staff, and I would certainly recommend them to anyone needing an expert Orthopedic Surgeon.
