Patient Testimonials

I saw Dr. Norberg on Oct. 24, 2018 one year after my reverse shoulder replacement surgery. I am extremely happy with the results. I have no pain and have regained most of my prior mobility. I very much appreciate the fine manner that Dr. Norberg has when dealing with me as a patient.

I had a very positive experience with Twin Cities Orthopedics covering the period of time from urgent care to rehabilitation. I had the injury on a Saturday and requested that I might get my surgery scheduled as soon as possible with one of the most skilled and proficient arm and elbow staff surgeons there. They accommodated me quickly and on the Tuesday after, Dr. Bakker was recommended as my surgeon and he fit me into his schedule. He presents himself with very good communication skills and organization of procedures. It is about two months out, my surgery site is healing well and I thank him and his staff so much for their prompt and excellent care!

Dr. Norberg performed rotator cuff surgery on my right shoulder in April 2018. I am very pleased with the outcome – no pain and excellent range of motion. Physical therapy group at TCO Plymouth was great to work with. I highly recommend Dr. Norberg and his team.

March 2018 left shoulder surgery with Dr. Norberg. Now, 6 months later everything almost normal. Great doctor, staff and organization.

After the shoulder tear I was not able to do many of my normal activities. After the repair I followed the recovery plan to the tee. With the excellent therapy I received, I consider the surgery a complete success. Thank you Dr. Meyer!!

I could not be more pleased with the care and professionalism I received from Dr. Meisterling and his staff. Dr. Meisterling repaired my badly torn rotator cuff and torn bicep. The surgery went as well as possible, and I was fully cared for throughout the recovery process. I could not recommend Dr. Meisterling more highly.

December 2017 surgery on my (80 year old female) right (primary) shoulder. Badly torn right shoulder resulted in a total shoulder replacement. Dr. Norberg was professional, he put me at ease, and the results were so spectacular that I had almost no pain and walked out of the hospital after 1 night without using any pain medication. I followed their range of motion post op instructions and fully recovered in just over a month. His office staff were outstanding and great to work with on all interactions.

I picked Dr. Szalapski out of a phone book 18 years ago at 43 years old needing a hip replacement. He was professional and gave me all the information I didn’t want to hear! I lucked out and got the best results I could have hoped for! He has since replaced my other hip, a knee and most recently my shoulder. I love him and tell everyone I know to go to him! He doesn’t always tell you what you want to hear but honestly not his fault. I thank God I randomly picked him I’ve gotten the best results on all my surgeries and can honestly say I have no residual pain. His staff is awesome and I could not be happier and no I’m not related ha!

Dr. Arntson performed a shoulder joint replacement for me. The surgery went perfectly, and I had no pain following surgery. Dr. Arntson gave me his full attention whenever I had an office visit and I was treated very professionally. I will be having my other shoulder joint replaced in the fall, and I actually am looking forward to it. Of course, I will have Dr. Arntson doing the surgery.

Dr. Arntson diagnosed my shoulder problem and operated on it. The surgery was a success, I have no pain and I feel great! He did a great job and I’m glad I went with Dr. Arntson.
