We had an outstanding experience with Dr. Dwivedi as our hand surgeon. From the very first appointment, he demonstrated an exceptional bedside manner—kind, patient, and genuinely caring. He took the time to explain the procedure in clear, easy-to-understand terms and made sure all our questions were answered thoroughly.

What truly stood out was how detailed he was in preparing us for both the surgery and the recovery process. He walked us through exactly what to expect, which helped ease a lot of anxiety and allowed us to feel confident and informed every step of the way.

Dr. Dwivedi is not only a skilled and knowledgeable surgeon but also incredibly friendly and approachable. His positive attitude and professionalism made a stressful situation much easier to handle. We’re so grateful for the excellent care and would highly recommend him to anyone needing hand surgery.

Dr. Dwivedi is amazing. I had a very positive experience with my hand surgery. I feel I am completely healed and have gained back my strength. I have had other surgeries in the past, and I truly can say out of all the surgeons I have had, Dr. Dwivedi is the most compassionate doctor of them all. You can tell that he truly cares about his patients. He is the best in the business!

Dr. Nishant Dwivedi did such a great job explaining my situation for severe carpal tunnel, which I had thought was from my previous knee surgery. I am really pleased with him and my hand therapist. I followed his recommendations, and I now have equal strength in both hands. He is a very good listener. Overall, it was a really good experience.

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!

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 had made an appointment in December 2024 for surgery with a general Orthopedic surgeon for my right thumb joint due to arthritis. He had quickly described the surgery to me, and I asked him if he thought I could have both thumbs done by the end of the year. He said that he thought it should be fine. I had made an appointment with Dr. Dwivedi to talk about surgery for my left thumb joint, since the original surgeon didn’t have any openings.

My first impression of Dr. Dwivedi was that he was warm, caring, and gentle. He took his time explaining the surgery, the Ligament Reconstruction, and the Tendon Interposition (LRTI) in a detailed way that I fully understood what to expect. He highly recommended that I did not get both thumbs done so close together. With his thorough explanation, I understood and agreed. I chose to reschedule my original surgery for my right thumb with Dr. Dwivedi and I couldn’t have been happier. I was nervous the day of the surgery, but he was upbeat, calm, and reassuring. I trusted him completely. The night of the surgery, he even called me to see how I was doing.

I am a person who asks a lot of questions until I fully understand things and he was very patient. He seemed happy and excited to share his knowledge with me. My husband and I could tell that he is passionate with his job and takes pride in his work. Every appointment, I was met with his gentle handshake, warm smile, and friendly demeanor. My sister works at the surgery center where the surgery was performed, and she has heard so many great things about him. My hand therapist also said she has heard the same about Dr. Dwivedi. I am so thankful that I chose to have the surgery performed by Dr. Dwivedi! I would highly recommend him and will have him do my left hand sometime this year.

I have lived with arthritis pain in my right thumb joint for many years, even with multiple painful cortisone injections. I decided to take the next step and contact Dr. Mark Fischer, a Hand Specialist at TCO. I had a great consultation with him. Dr. Fischer was very thorough about my options to get pain relief. Without question, my husband and I liked his solution to address my pain. He took the time to explain the procedure and all that it would entail from pre-surgery, post-surgery, and recovery. Immediately, Dr. Fisher made me feel confident that this was the right choice to eliminate my thumb pain.

On the day of my surgery, the staff were friendly, professional, and informative. No question was unanswered. Dr. Fisher’s surgery team came in to introduce themselves and explain their roles. Once sent home, I took only one prescribed pain pill. When the cast came off, I opted to take advantage of hand therapy. After two visits, I am back to feeling completely pain free with total mobility. Thank you TCO, Dr. Fisher, and Team!

In November 2024, I fell while on vacation in Arizona.  The result was a broken left wrist and torn ligament.  I went to the emergency room for examinations and X-rays. They immobilized my arm and wrist and said I needed to see an orthopedic surgeon when I returned to Minnesota.

I had been to TCO a few years before for shoulder surgery and physical therapy.  Before I got home, I called TCO to get an appointment. They took my information and set me up for the day after I returned with Dr. Aundrea Rainville. She took X-rays and confirmed my injury. She wanted to schedule surgery ASAP since it had been a week since my injury. We scheduled pre-op for Monday and surgery for Tuesday. She explained my X-rays and what she would be doing in surgery. She is very genuine and made sure I understood everything.

The surgery went well, and she was very reassuring.  Follow-up visits, X-rays, and physical therapy went well. My physical therapist, Shannon, was wonderful. She too explained my treatment well.

My wrist is back to full use.  I would highly recommend Dr. Rainville to everyone. I appreciate the care I was given.
