William T. Schneider, MD

Last January, Dr. Schneider performed my total knee replacement and it could not have gone better. From the very first appointment to discuss my torn meniscus to the post-op follow-up, Dr. Schneider was caring, professional and knowledgeable. I had a ton of questions about the pending surgery, and Dr. Schneider even called me at home to respond to all of them. He explained my options and why he thought replacing the knee joint was the best option for me. The surgery went exceptionally well and the recovery was much better than expected. 10 months later, I have absolutely no pain and am back playing pickleball. The icing on the cake was a “get well” card I received from Dr. Schneider and his team after I was discharged from Hudson Hospital. Not many surgeons would take the time to do that. I have recommended him to several friends with knee pain issues and would absolutely go to him again in the future. He’s the best!

When Dr. Schneider first saw me, the damage to my shoulder was so bad that he wasn’t sure if it was repairable, but he immediately scheduled me for surgery and I never had one moment of anxiety or doubt, because I completely trusted him and the staff at High Pointe Surgery Center. 

Dr. Schneider’s reputation as a surgeon is exceptional and I personally knew people who highly recommended him. I could not have asked for a more qualified and experienced surgeon.  My partner also had rotator cuff surgery with Dr. Schneider at High Pointe Center several years ago and we were both very impressed with the quality of care he received then.

I cannot express enough thanks and gratitude to the doctors and staff who cared for me both at TC Orthopedics in Stillwater and at High Pointe Surgery Center in Lake Elmo .  Dr. Schneider and his clinician, Sue, are exceptionally caring professionals who carefully explained the procedure, answered all my questions, and made me feel confident in the positive outcome of my surgery. 

Currently, I am still undergoing physical therapy, but am looking forward to soon having full use of my arm again – thanks to Dr. Schneider and the TC Orthopedic staff and therapists.

I just had shoulder surgery six weeks ago and am feeling super! I had minimal pain and didn’t need much, if any pain medication. I am very confident in Dr. Schneider and will have him do my other shoulder in another year. I feel that he is highly competent and am recommending him to others!

Dr. Schneider has done two knee replacements for me, a year and a half apart. The first one blew out fast and I had to wait a few months to get on the waiting list as it was November and everyone wants surgery before the year ends. I knew it was the right thing to do and the pain was so bad I was using a cane and felt like I was going to fall all the time. I had other family members who had Dr. Schneider and they were very pleased with the results. My first recovery was good and in in 7 months I took a European trip and was hiking through Sweden and Denmark with no pain on cobblestone streets. I had my second surgery a month ago and Dr. Schneider’s work is amazing. I talked a colleague into getting knee replacement surgery after my first surgery as mine went so well. She suffered with pain for years and she went to another facility in the Twin Cities and did not have a good experience. This summer she had her second surgery on the same knee. After a week from my most recent surgery I was not using a cane or walker and used limited pain meds. My therapy has gone very well and I am dismissed and will continue my therapy at home and a health club. Yesterday I treated myself to a pedicure. I was sitting next to an elderly gentleman and we got to talking. He had two hip replacements at Mayo Clinic. They did not go so well. When I told the man I had Dr. Schneider he said oh yes, he redid my second surgery as Mayo did not do the best job. He said that if he needed any further surgeries he would go back to Dr. Schneider in an instant. He was very pleased with the results. I told Dr. Schneider he can’t retire as I have too many family and friends who are in  need of care. Dr. Schneider and his team are prompt, professional, thorough, efficient, follow up on all details and run a well-tuned organization. I am looking forward to continued improvement, a trip to London this year and retirement with renewed vigor and health. I would highly recommend Dr. Schneider and his team to others needing orthopedic surgery.

I am 5 weeks out of a total knee replacement. It is a very painful surgery. I am very happy with the fact now I can go up steps pain free. Thank you Dr. Schneider and helpers.

I have recently had my second knee replacement, performed by Dr. Schneider. The first one gave me great relief from years of pain. Due to deterioration in the other knee, my overall benefits were limited. Now, I am able to enjoy life and my daily activities in ways It is difficult to express. To walk without constant pain as I do now, is beautiful. It has been well over twenty years since last I felt this good. Thank you, so very much!
