Patient Testimonials

Everyone on Dr. Hartigan’s staff has been kind, helpful, and informative. I was very comfortable and confident under Dr. Hartigan’s care. My recovery after my hip replacement in November went very well. My leg length discrepancy was resolved, and I just returned from a trip to the Netherlands where I put 70 miles on my pedometer. So thankful I had this done or that wouldn’t have been possible. Thank you so much to Dr. Hartigan and his team.

Dr. Andrew Ockuly was such a great surgeon. I really enjoyed being his patient.

Everything is going well after my hand surgery with Dr. Dwivedi. My surgery experience was very smooth, and everything was communicated well to me. My healing and recovery have been slow and steady but going to occupational therapy has helped tremendously! I would highly recommend Dr. Dwivedi!

I had open carpal tunnel release surgery done on both wrists with Dr. Dwivedi, and I couldn’t be more pleased. I am feeling very good and my grip strength is almost back to 100%. I no longer have any symptoms of tingling or numbness, and I can do everything I used to be able to. I am so glad I had this procedure done! I would absolutely recommend Dr. Dwivedi to anyone in need of hand or wrist surgery. He and his staff were extremely competent and took excellent care of me from beginning to end. Everything was very clear and I knew I was in good hands. His clinical assistant was wonderful and worked extremely well alongside Dr. Dwivedi during my procedure. I found their banter very reassuring and entertaining. Huge thanks to Dr. Dwivedi and his team.

I am an 87-year-old woman who visited Dr. Bircher about my very painful knee. I previously had several shots, but they didn’t relieve my pain until Dr. Bircher performed a knee replacement. The recovery was explained thoroughly so I knew what to expect. The healing process is going exactly as planned. Dr. Bircher was very patient and kind. I would recommend him to anybody in need of knee care.

Our daughter Ruby, an active 12-year-old, experienced a concussion with severe symptoms that significantly impacted her daily life. After beginning weekly sessions through the concussion therapy program at Twin Cities Orthopedics, we saw a dramatic improvement in her condition.

Carly Mattson was exceptional throughout the process—she truly listened to Ruby’s symptoms and created personalized exercises tailored specifically to her needs. At each session, Carly would introduce new exercises for Ruby to continue at home during the week, if they didn’t trigger symptoms. When we returned, Carly carefully assessed her progress and guided her to the next level of challenge if Ruby was symptom-free. Step by step, this thoughtful progression helped Ruby safely return to normal.

During one session, Ruby also used a specialized virtual reality tool that involved following lights to ensure her symptoms were not triggered, which added another valuable layer to her evaluation and recovery. Our experience was superb from start to finish, and we highly recommend TCO to anyone struggling with post-concussion symptoms.

I have metastatic breast cancer. Between mild to moderate arthritis and cancer medications, I couldn’t even stand up straight. I used to walk and ride my bike almost every day as it played a huge factor in my mental health. I had not been going on walks for almost two weeks because of my condition but Dr. Vanden Berge helped me by prescribing a steroid shot. This morning, I woke up a new woman! I have so much gratitude for the care I received. Thank you so much to Dr. Vanden Berge and his team!

I had trigger finger release surgery with Dr. Dwivedi and I am very pleased with my results. My recovery is going very well. I really liked Dr. Dwivedi and would definitely recommend him!

Shashank S. Dwivedi, MD is an amazing physician along with his team. I was treated with respect, and all details were explained thoroughly. I would highly recommend him to friends and family. If I ever have hand surgery again, I will go back to Dr. Dwivedi without hesitation. I cannot say enough amazing things about the care and treatment I received.

It has now been two years since my surgery. I have been very pleased with my care with Dr. Carlson. He has been great through all my follow up appointments. I highly recommend Twin Cities Orthopedics and Dr. Carlson.
