Dr. Ockuly, his team, and the rehab crew were magnificent! The surgical experience was first rate and the follow up was fantastic. They were always direct and clear with me from confirming they can do the surgery to informing me how to rest and rehab properly. Thank you, Dr. Ockuly!

After years of managing my knee pain with injections and activity modifications, I finally decided to pursue a total knee replacement. I am grateful that my search led me to Dr. Samuel Carlson at Twin Cities Orthopedics. From my first consultation through surgery and recovery, the care I received was exceptional. Through diagnosis, surgery, EXCEL Extended Care, and physical therapy, the process was seamless and far beyond my expectations.

A knee replacement is an important life decision, and I couldn’t have asked for a better team. I highly recommend Dr. Carlson and TCO to anyone facing an orthopedic challenge. You only get one chance to do it right. Make sure you have the best surgical team. I am grateful I did.

Dr. Nishant Dwivedi was amazing! My adult son, Nate, fell and broke both wrists. Both were severely damaged. We met with Dr. Dwivedi for a consultation and scheduled surgery which was quite extensive. I was so impressed with Dr. Dwivedi’s bedside manner. He was polite and patient in answering all our questions. He did not rush and was very thorough in explaining the surgical process. Nate is recovering well and his X-rays after surgery were very favorable thanks to the skilled hands of Dr. Dwivedi. Thank you!

I highly recommend Twin Cities Orthopedics for joint replacement surgery. Dr. Leafblad and his staff did an excellent job with my total reverse shoulder replacement in March 2025. The pain from bone spurs is now completely gone in my shoulder. With physical therapy, I am making good progress toward increasing mobility. I am looking forward to having my other shoulder replaced within the next year.

Kelly Vanderheyden provided excellent care. My prior cortisone experiences were not pleasant. She was informative, personal, kind, and very gentle. The entire procedure was well executed. Kelly made my day. Thank you!

My thanks to Dr. Butterfield and his surgical team for the left total shoulder replacement. Dr. Butterfield’s expertise and precise technique has given me an excellent outcome from this surgery in April of 2025. Dr. Butterfield and his team did a total right shoulder replacement in August of 2021 as well. I went to TCO with a lot of pain in both instances and each outcome resulted in zero pain. TCO’s physical therapy staff showed me how to regain full use of both shoulders. Dr. Wetter also replaced both of my hips back in 2016 and 2018, also with no pain afterwards. The four surgeries I have had have been life changing. Thank you!

Dr. Seybold is an excellent surgeon who truly listens to the needs of the patient. He is compassionate, positive, and has a sense of humor. Dr. Seybold and his PA, Holly Chappel, are “all in”. Thank you for allowing me to get the care I have received.

My story starts about eight years ago when I started having pain when walking. Three and a half years ago, I realized I needed to actively treat my pain which was consistently getting worse. Mobility had all but gone and I thought I needed some adjustments so saw a chiropractor. Quickly I realized that was not helping. I saw three different doctors, had X-rays taken, received several steroid injections, and took multiple MRIs. I was going to physical therapy for two years, including massage therapy. Finally, I went to a hip surgeon that refused to perform surgery because I was “too young” at the age of 52. I was in so much pain, so I got a second opinion the next week.

Dr. Nessler took new X-rays and showed me why I was in so much pain. I was amazed at how bad my hip joints were, both were bone on bone. I held my breath waiting for him to tell me I was too young to have the surgery, but he didn’t. Instead, he said he could do the surgery and that it was really my only option to alleviate the pain. I broke down and cried because it was the first time I felt heard, and I finally found someone to help me.

Getting surgery done scared me but not having sit done scared me even more. I had my right hip replacement done in November of 2024 and the left hip done in February of 2025. Having hip replacement surgery was the best decision I ever made. During my first walk around the hospital after surgery, I found that my joint pain was completely gone! I am now 3 months post-op and doing very well. My mobility is back, and it is getting better every day.

Dr. Nessler gave me my life back. He and his team (Anne Meyer and Lisa Marcellus) were professional, patient, knowledgeable, and kind. I couldn’t have asked for a better surgeon or care team. I would send anyone in need to Dr. Nessler without hesitation. Thank you, Dr. Nessler, for everything.

My daughter had surgery with Dr. Dwivedi to repair her right thumb fracture after she was involved in a car accident. During the many visits we had with him, my husband and I both think that Dr. Dwivedi’s bedside manner was beyond amazing. We absolutely love him! He is beyond the best of the best. He takes his time with patients and is wonderful! We would definitely recommend him.

I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Dr. Meisterling and his entire team for the wonderful care that I received. I needed a surgical repair and follow-up care from an unfortunate trip and fall injury resulting in a torn rotator cuff. Dr. Meisterling listened to me and answered my questions in a very direct and professional manner. He handled my arm very gently during my post-op follow-up visit, which I appreciated. Everyone I encountered was so kind, thoughtful, and helpful as I moved through the process of surgery and the physical therapy that followed. I would highly recommend TCO and Dr. Meisterling’s care team. They are a 10+ out of 10!
