Patient Testimonials

I had left elbow surgery done with Dr. Dwivedi and everything is going well. I received very good care, and my healing is going as expected. All my questions were answered right away and were explained so I could understand them. Overall, it was a good experience, and I would highly recommend Dr. Dwivedi and TCO!

I would like to thank Carin, Max Christopherson, and especially Dr. Bobel for their assistance on April 8, 2026. This team was extremely helpful in providing their expertise to explain my health problem regarding my rotator cuff. They answered all my questions and provided me with options to resolve the issues. Being out of state, I was unsure where I should go but Twin Cities Orthopedics in Eden Prairie was great and I highly recommend them!

I first met Dr. Dwivedi in 2024 when I had an injury to my elbow. He reviewed my scans with me, all the options that were available, and what the outcome and recovery would be. We tried steroid injections first and then I opted for surgery. The outcome and recovery were just as he had explained. Now, I am two years past my surgery, and I have opted to have another surgery with Dr. Dwivedi as I trust his professional opinion and his ability to fix my current issue. I would highly recommend Dr. Dwivedi to anyone as he and his team are personable, professional, and very skilled at taking care of your orthopedic needs.

I can’t say enough about Dr. LaPrade and his staff. I had a partial bicep tear and a full rotator cuff rupture of my left arm/shoulder. I previously had surgery on my right shoulder back in 2016 and it was a tough one. It was through another orthopedic clinic, but the pain was excruciating and the recovery was difficult. This injury was more complex than my previous, so I was dreading the surgery and recovery. I have had numerous orthopedic surgeries over the years (around 15) and have had some painful recoveries. I was astonished when I was home that evening and the pain was kept to a dull ache. I kept waiting for the nerve block to wear off and send me into a tailspin, but it didn’t happen. Dr. LaPrade’s work was nothing short of amazing in my experience. I had a steady and progressive recovery, but I never once had a setback or had to tolerate any high pain levels. My recovery is approaching the three-month mark and I’m happy to report that I should be returning to work soon. I can then move towards getting my strength back to normal.

My family has been surrounded by support from Twin Cities Orthopedics and their staff this year. My husband had a successful knee replacement with Dr. TJ Panek’s staff in the EXCEL program. The organization, communication, and outstanding care provided from start to finish could not have been better. A knee replacement is not a minor procedure, but his surgery and recovery have been incredibly smooth and supported.

Our older son injured his shoulder during his high school football season. His school’s TCO sports trainer, Julia West, has been supporting him through every step of his recovery as he prepares for his final high school baseball season. Our younger son dislocated his kneecap this fall and initially tried rehab through physical therapy. When it became apparent that therapy wasn’t going to be the solution, Dr. Christopher Larson reassured him that surgery would provide the pathway to getting his goals back on track.

We’ve spent quite a lot of time this year interacting with many healthcare providers at TCO and every experience has felt like we were their main priority. From scheduling to record keeping to PT to imaging to surgical care coordinators to doctors, our experience has been outstanding and the recovery outcomes positive. I would highly recommend TCO to anyone looking for orthopedic care for themselves or their family.

Dr. Michael R Johnson and his team did an exceptional job on my rotator cuff surgery and recovery. The professionalism and care went beyond what I was expecting. I am so appreciative for all their efforts. I highly recommend Dr. Johnson for your health care needs.

I broke my arm in 2010 during a massive snowstorm. Dr. Neil Johnson came to the emergency room and scheduled me for surgery the next morning. The repair involved a plate and 11 screws. After 9 months, the hardware needed to be removed due to a metal allergy, which he was able to access quickly. Dr. Johnson and his team were outstanding during the entire process! Due of his incredible knowledge and surgical expertise, my arm is back to being 100%!

I had surgery for cubital tunnel syndrome with Dr. Moeller and Bridget Greiber. Both are very caring and explained what was going to happen thoroughly. My recovery has been good so far and I am very happy that I chose to have the surgery.

I had both my knees replaced in 2023. It went great! I’m getting my left shoulder replacement surgery in March, then the right one replaced in July. I wanted to give a shout out to Dr. Peterson and his team at TCO Wyoming. I’ve been asking Jenna and Christine many questions and concerns. They’re so great and understanding! When you go through a serious thing like this, it’s reassuring to have someone so knowledgeable and kind. It really helps to make you feel relaxed. Every experience I’ve had at TCO Wyoming has been very good. I know other people including family members that have been there and they feel the same way. Thank you for putting up with me through all of this! You’re all the best!

I fell and broke my right arm. I had just healed from a reverse shoulder replacement on the same arm/shoulder. Dr. Walker did an excellent job and today the X-ray showed the bone had healed. Dr. Walker has an amazing bedside manner and is easy to talk with. I would recommend him to my family and friends! Thank you, Dr. Walker. I am grateful for your expertise and kind demeanor!
