Patient Testimonials

The total shoulder replacement process was initially communicated as taking the better part of a year. I feel thinks are going much better than I thought they would. The performance of all TCO staff, including Dr. Kelly, has been outstanding.

The TCO team was excellent in addressing all of my concerns and following up on continued care. Dr. Kelly did surgery on my right shoulder and it was truly a life changer for me. I’m one year out and feel like I’m back on track to full recovery.

I would recommend Dr. Butterfield to anyone and everyone. I saw him after being recommended to TCO by a competitor that new I needed the best in the field. Dr. Butterfield respectfully and compassionately listened to me, then proposed a plan. I had been in horrific pain for a year and had some old injuries that were acting up due to the new issue. He fixed everything! Twenty years of pain gone after one, albeit major, surgery. He is a terrific surgeon. I cannot praise Dr. Butterfield enough.

I was apprehensive about having a shoulder surgery but I had lost so much mobility in it. I now have almost complete mobility back and an mow working to increase my strength. It feels so much better than before surgery. I am very thankful to Dr. Kelly and Lindsey Anderson, PA, for all their support and encouragement!

My rotator cuff repair with Dr. Kelly went well and I think the key to my shoulder recovery has been the dedication that I have put forth in my PT exercises given to me by my medical team. They have been very thorough on their discussions with me regarding what to expect and how to progress.

I am a mid-60s man and tore most of my right rotator cuff muscles rescuing my dog. That was two years ago. The surgery was complex but a few months after surgery with Dr. Kelly, I’d regained full range of motion and core strength.

Dr. Ridley re-attached my bicep on November 20th and the surgery was a complete success! After therapy, I have almost full movement in my arm and am able to use it without any problems. The follow-up visits were great and he answered all of my questions.

After a right shoulder reverse replacement 11 months ago, I have no pain, only occasional stiffness if I overdue it. I would recommend the procedure to anyone who wants relief from arthritis pain. Dr. Edward Kelly performed the operation and he couldn’t have been more pleasant, reassuring and thorough. His assistant, Lindsey, was helpful and impressive too. When I was able to begin physical therapy, Mike Dixey was very good and encouraging. I would recommend that anyone who has the procedure be sure to be faithful in doing physical therapy if you want a really good outcome. I do no regret having the this surgery and have recommended Twin Cities Orthopedics to friends!

I have been treated by Dr. Meyer for years, he has helped me with multiple body aches and pains. I am more than pleased with the outcome of both knee replacements and shoulder rotator cuff repair. I am now able to do just about anything compared to before I was very limited in my activities. My follow-up care has always been great. He is a caring provider, I would highly recommended Dr. Meyer.

Rotator cuff repair surgery with Dr. Kelly was completely successful. I had no pain after the first day and following my rehab instructions successfully restored my range of motion and strength.
