Patient Testimonials

After a scary car accident, I broke my wrist and finger. I was referred to Twin Cities Orthopedics and Dr. Moeller. Everyone on her team and in the physical therapy department — Eryn, Sarah, Bridget, and Morgan (and more!) — have been wonderful, upbeat, fun, and kind. Everyone has been so understanding, patient, and informative to make sure I felt well taken care of. A positive and personable medical team makes all the difference, and they obviously know that. I would highly recommend their 11/10 service!

Dr. Karlstad performed a Trapeziectomy surgery on my left thumb in April. The surgery went very well. I now have full use of my thumb, and the scaring is hardly visible! Before my surgery, I would drop things as my thumb couldn’t support the weight, not even a cup. I will be seeing Dr. Karlstad again for my right thumb!

Dr. Moeller has been an incredible help with my hand care. She’s consistently prompt, thorough, and attentive, taking the time to listen and ensure I never feel rushed. I’m deeply grateful for her care and will continue to recommend her to everyone I know.

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Dwivedi. I cannot say enough good things about him! He listened so well, and I am very grateful for having gone through my surgery. My hand feels so much better!

My wrist is feeling great after my surgery with Dr. Nishant Dwivedi. He was very professional and compassionate. He was clear and concise about the procedure, and I felt well listened to throughout the entire experience. I would recommend him to anyone!

This was an injury that occurred while working in the EMS field. I tend to “over educate” myself on any procedures or medications that may be done to/or going into my body. While I initially “spooked” myself listening to others around me, I ended up postponing my surgery. I am very glad that I had another consultation to have my concerns addressed with Dr. Honstad. He sat down with me for 45 minutes and answered all my questions which eased my concerns. I confidently rescheduled my surgery for a week later, and I am very happy with the professionalism, expertise, and the follow-up so far. I feel that we have made the right choice to go about addressing the issues present, and in the proper order. I would not hesitate to have Dr. Honstad be my hand/wrist doctor when I need it in the future. I feel it was a good choice to trust Dr. Honstad for my care.

I recently had a carpal tunnel procedure to relieve the numbness in my fingers and thumb. It was a very good experience, and Dr. Fischer explained everything completely. He and his staff were very good. I had no pain during the procedure or after when it was healing. Thank you so much!

I broke my finger on a Saturday and went to the ER. They didn’t do anything but splint it and sent me on my way. After a long two days, I called TCO on Monday and they got me in on Tuesday morning. Once I was there, I met with Dr. Moeller who was super helpful. It was very easy to understand what she was talking about. I ended up needing surgery and they managed to get me in on Thursday. I got there 15 minutes early and checked in, baring having time to sit down before they called me in which was great. They got me set up and hooked to an IV, then I was wheeled down to surgery within the hour. Once I was in the surgery room, it was super cold and Dr. Moeller herself went to get me another blanket even though I would be put under soon. The nurses were super nice and helpful!

I had bilateral carpal tunnel surgery done with Dr. Nishant Dwivedi. I really liked the endoscopic procedure, and I am very happy with the results. Dr. Dwivedi was very informative, knowledgeable, and he took the time to explain things thoroughly. I never felt like he was rushing through my appointments. He provided post-op tips and tricks to help with my healing, which have made a big difference in my recovery. Overall, it was a great experience. I am very glad I finally had the procedure done!

In the fall of 2020, I was walking across my deck with an extension cord and tripped over the cord end. As I lay on the sidewalk assessing for possible damage, I rotated my leg left and right. Unfortunately, my right foot looked like it had quit, as my toes remained pointing skyward. I had made it to the age of 72 without breaking any bones. We were assigned to Dr. Ockuly and his team. My wife and I were introduced to Dani, who is Dr. Ockuly’s Care Coordinator. If we had any questions or concerns, Dani called back incredibly quickly and was very professional. If she didn’t have the answer, she found out and called us back promptly. During the consultation, we shared our faith life with Dr. Ockuly, who responded in kind. This deepened the relationship greatly and added significantly to the trust between patient and doctor.

Sometime after that, my wife was involved in a car accident. I drove to the emergency room and met her there after the EMTs had arrived. Lo and behold…she had unfortunately broken her arm and wrist. These were the first broken bones for her as well. During a break in the action, I slipped outside and left a message with Dani. She quickly called me back, and we scheduled an appointment with Dr. Ockuly again. I was so grateful to have his team help me get scheduled on the spot.

In my retirement, I took a job as a school bus driver. I am blessed with wonderful kids on my route, and they make me happy. One part of my job I did not like was taking the 200-yard walk from the base office to my bus, and the same walk again at the end of my shift. My arthritic knees made the journey so painful. This summer, Dr. Ockuly and his team replaced both knees. WOW! Though some discomfort remains, I am taking long, confident strides. At my follow-up appointment this week, I told Dr. Ockuly, “Thank you for using your God-given gifts to repair me so I could share my God-given gifts with others!” At that point, Dr. Ockuly offered me a tissue as I was starting to tear up! As I left, I thanked Dani profusely and received a hug from Annie, who invited us to her church to see their adoration chapel. My incisions are healing very well, and my final knee X-rays proved the surgery was perfect.
