Patient Testimonials

Dr. Ridley answered all my questions of moving forward with my second knee replacement. He performed a replacement on my other knee two years ago and I couldn’t be happier! He personally followed up on my pre-operative and post-operative visits and was proactive in getting the surgery and insurance handled promptly.

In early 2023, I had both a knee and hip replaced by Dr. Nemanich. First I got my new hip and never looked back. My knee was also a success but, I will say, it hurt more than the hip replacement. Dr. Nemanich is a skilled surgeon and a kind man. I have full confidence in him and do recommend him for your next surgery.

I went to TCO Burnsville Orthopedic Urgent Care on Sunday afternoon February 4th, 2024. They were busy but there was no waiting to check in with the lovely lady that registered me. I asked how long of a wait it would be and she was very honest, it was going to be an extended amount of time. I let her know that I would come back later in hopes of it not being a lengthy wait time. She encouraged me to stay in case there was a break. I told her I would wait 30 minutes. Within the next 5 minutes she came over and told me that she had contacted the TCO Eagan Orthopedic Urgent Care and confirmed it would be a much shorter wait time. Needless to say, we headed right over to TCO Eagan. We were greeted by very friendly staff, from check-in, to getting a room, to X-ray, and care from the PA. I would highly recommend Twin Cities Orthopedics Urgent Care Burnsville and Eagan MN.

Dr. Larson was awesome!

Dr. Kneeland is a fine doctor. I highly recommend her. She has helped me and her staff is wonderful. I’m 69 with rheumatoid arthritis.

I saw Dr. Schmiesing and had a great experience with the entire process of surgery and recovery!

I love Dr. Moeller. I’m a big baby when it comes to surgery but I was confident because she was confident. My broken/shattered bone in my hand is 100% repaired with full mobility. Other than faint evidence of slight scar, I have full mobility and no visual evidence of any break. It looks perfect and feels great.

Prior to my left knee replacement, Dr. Nessler explained the procedure and let me know it wouldn’t be easy but that it’d be worth it. Prior to the surgery he also ordered an MRI of my back, which proved to be contributing to my overall health issues. The surgery went very well; there weren’t any complications. Throughout the first 6 weeks post-surgery, Dr. Nessler listened and responded to all concerns with effective advice and/or strategies. He provided clearly defined goals and was very encouraging. Once I was able to look at the X-ray of my new knee, I knew it would just be a matter of time before I would be able to live without knee pain. Lisa (his assistant) was pleasant and always available to answer questions. She was also skilled at knowing when Dr. Nessler was needed for a follow-up which resulted putting me at ease.

I’ve now reached six weeks post-surgery and I’ve successfully rounded a corner. I’ll be continuing PT one time per week with Kyle at TCO Hudson, combined with exercises at home. Kyle was a perfect match for my needs. He’s a competent and enjoyable young man to interact with! I’m planning to have my right knee replaced in October of 2024 (must take advantage of the upcoming golf season of course). I will be trusting Dr. Nessler without hesitation to replace my right knee. I highly recommend him.

I am so thankful I found Dr. Dwivedi when I went to TCO Urgent Care after a bike accident and the resulting thumb problem. He had such a wonderful way of explaining and watching that I actually understood the procedure needed. He was able to get me into surgery within two weeks and I am so happy with everything – the process, his demeanor, his knowledge and patience. I have to look pretty hard to find where the surgery scar is. My mobility and thumb strength is amazing too. I highly recommend Dr. Dwivedi. He is an excellent hand surgeon and I feel so fortunate he was at the TCO Urgent Care when I stopped in for help. Thank you so much Dr. Dwivedi!

I had my hip replacement surgery recently by Dr. David Hartigan at Twin Cities Orthopedics. I am 1000% happy with the results. I was scheduled to have this surgery two years ago and I chickened out because I couldn’t imagine going through the surgery. I had hip pain every day for a long time. When I couldn’t deal with the pain anymore, I went back to TCO and Dr. Hartigan assured me that everything would be great. I am amazed at how well my surgery went. Dr. Hartigan is the best. I have not had any pain since my surgery and my quality of life has improved. I wish I would have done this surgery years ago. I feel like a new man. I recommend TCO and Dr. Hartigan hands down. Thank you, Dr. Hartigan and your team at TCO, for taking great care of me and my surgery. I am forever grateful.
