Patient Testimonials

Thank you so very much Dr. Banks for the wonderful back surgery results. When I saw Dr. Banks for my initial visit, my sciatica pain was ranging between an eight to ten. Dr. Banks and his team got me in for surgery (discectomy and laminectomy) within a few days. Now, two weeks after surgery, my pain is nearly gone! I highly recommend Dr. Banks and thank him for helping me so quickly.

I have been battling with lower back pain for years. Between urgent care visits, physical therapy, and other medical visits, my back finally said enough is enough. I couldn’t walk since the pain was so bad. I could hardly use the bathroom without being in excruciating pain. It was so bad that I would rather have gone through childbirth again; if you know, you know.

Dr. Green gave me my life back! I am not one who usually leaves testimonials or often has great things to say about doctors; however, Dr. Green is the bees’ knees. In a world where I often feel like the medical system treats symptoms and doesn’t provide solutions, my experience with TCO has been phenomenal and completely changed my perspective. Thank you to Dr. Green, his team, and TCO!

I have some ongoing spine issues that I am still working on. However, when I saw Dr. Bisch, I was very impressed. He is extremely kind, professional, and explains things very well. Most importantly, he listened and was very respectful toward my situation. I appreciated that very much. I would highly recommend him to others.

Dr. Davis is the best surgeon and spine specialist I have ever had! I have had experiences with multiple providers, and no one comes close. What he has done for my spine pain has been nothing short of perfection. I owe a lot to Dr. Davis and his team!

I have been heavily involved in Minnesota Special Olympics since I was eight years old and now, I will be turning 30 this month. Last fall, I sprained my ankle at flag football practice. I knew right away that I injured my ankle, so my dad took me to the ER. They did an X-ray and said it wasn’t broken but referred me to Twin Cities Orthopedics. The doctor at TCO Maple Grove ordered an MRI and said it was a bad sprain. I was put in a boot and eventually an ankle brace. The doctor ordered weekly physical therapy which I continued for several weeks. Unfortunately, I was unable to return to flag football that season. I met with the doctor again to check progress, and he continued the PT for a few more weeks just to be make sure everything was fully healed. I was given the go ahead to play but told to go slow.

I am part of Osseo-Maple Grove Athletic Association (OMGAA) teams and play ice hockey with Minnesota Special Hockey. A few weeks into this past season I also took a fall on the ice and injured my hand! I again went to TCO Maple Grove where they did another X-ray, and I was given a brace to wear on wrist. I was still having pain issues, so I returned to TCO and saw a doctor in the hand specialist clinic. He ordered an ultrasound of my wrist, and I have a follow-up appointment with him this week.

I also do gymnastics for MN Special Olympics. Three weeks ago, I injured my back at practice doing the vault. After a week, I was still having a lot of back and leg pain, so I went to TCO again. The doctor ordered an ultrasound of my back, and the results were a herniated disc. I start PT for my back this week. He also ordered a cortisone shot for my spine so I will likely be out from basketball and gymnastics for the season.

During this time, I will work on strengthening my body parts! In addition to playing several sports with MN Special Olympics, I also coach my sister’s bocce ball team in the summer. I have been chosen as an athletic coach for bocce at the USA games that will be held in Minnesota this summer. I am very excited! I went to Seattle in 2018 for the USA games and competed in gymnastics where I came home with five medals. I also was a part of the USA games in Orlando in 2022 for half court women’s basketball. We won a gold medal! I have always felt very supported at TCO and listened to by doctors and therapists. They always thoroughly explain at home exercises and are very clear on when I can return to sports. I am sure with all the sports I play that I will be back to TCO in the future!

I have seen Dr. Reynolds twice for low back and SI pain. He nailed the diagnosis immediately and confirmed it with an MRI. He has a fantastic “bedside manner” and is very easy to communicate with. Dr. Reynolds explains everything well. I feel like I receive great information coming in and going out. He sent me to TCO physical therapy, and I am responding fantastically to the exercises in my rehab! I have already referred him to others and will continue to do so in a heartbeat! What a great addition to TCO!

I saw Dr. Michalik for some complicated issues that I am experiencing with my lower back. He was very prepared to meet with me. I felt like he really understood what I was going through, not just physically. I left his office feeling very excited about the next steps and having him as my ‘spine guy’. I haven’t felt this confident in a really long time.

I’m struggling to find the words to say my heartfelt thank you to Dr. Harris and his team! I am in such a significantly better place now compared to last January before my L4-L5 fusion surgery. I can move and function again! Each time I walk into Twin Cities Orthopedics, I thank the Lord for being physically able to get out of my vehicle, walk, step up stairs, and stand proudly upright. Dr. Harris and his team cared for me so well! Thank you!

I had low back disc surgery in February 2025 with Dr. Harris. When I was filling out the post-op surveys that were sent to me, I wished I could thank Dr. Harris for the wonderful results I’ve had from his skillful surgery! Yes, it was painful at first, but with each week I continued to improve until I had no pain at all. I am now able to enjoy every day!

I saw Dr. Eggers for pain in my lower back and hips. I was thoroughly impressed during my initial visit. After listening to my symptoms, I found that his knowledge was confirmed by an MRI that I received shortly after that consultation. He was also very honest about his practice. I sincerely appreciated that. I was also comforted that he would take the time to discuss my condition, concerns, and treatment. I feel that I am in excellent hands when seeing Dr. Eggers.
