Patient Testimonials

Dr. Cammack is one of the best doctors I have ever met. He’s effective, knowledgeable, kind and funny. He cured my arthritis on the second visit. I highly recommend Dr. Cammack and thank him for his kindness.

First of all, I would like to thank everyone at TCO and the EXCEL program. I made a good choice to go with them. They are very nice and professional. With two knees, bone on bone, I could not move very well at all. I met with Dr. Owen O’Neill and needed surgery to replace my knees. Dr. O’Neill answered all of the questions that my wife and I had. He made us feel very comfortable, as did his TCO team. I would recommend Dr. O’Neill to everyone I talk to and I would recommend the surgery and therapy, if you want to get back on your feet and moving again. Now, after two knee replacements, I am feeling great and am moving around very well for the first time in years. I put it off so long and should have acted quicker. If you are in the same shape that I was, call TCO for a consult. TCO does everything from knees to hips, shoulders, etc. Thank you TCO and team!

Today is the one year anniversary of my knee surgery. I would love to thank Dr. Wulf and my PT, Jill, for their efforts in my surgery & recovery.

The surgery Dr. Meyer performed on me has greatly reduced my pain. I still have some pain and swelling but I’m not fully recovered yet. I anticipate that this surgery will be a complete success. I would recommend anyone having knee pain and getting the diagnosis for a partial or full replacement to go for it! I’m very happy I did!!

My knee surgery with Dr. Kelly corrected a very serious quad tenon injury which allows me to continue with my activities somewhat similarly to before. I do have some restrictions but I feel fortunate to be able to function as I am.

I had hip replacement surgery with Dr. O’Neill on October 13, 2020 and everything went smoothly. I could barely walk into the facility on the day of surgery and had less pain after the surgery. The staff at the overnight facility was great. My recovery went very well and my hip felt noticeably better each day. I just got approved to play golf again just 8 weeks after surgery.

Dr. Anseth did partial knee replacement surgery in 2018 on my left knee. Of the surgeons I checked out, only Dr. Anseth provided sensible options. He came highly recommended by a former patient. Then in November 2020, he did a partial knee replacement on my right knee. Now, I too, highly recommend Dr. Anseth! He is caring, genuine and a great surgeon. I am now pain-free. Also, special acknowledgement to his team members, Heidi and Jess. They were always reachable and solved whatever issue I had. I always felt secure and confident with Twin Cities Orthopedics and Dr. Anseth. Thank you to everyone!

After nearly two years, three specialists, dozens of appointments, procedures, & medications Dr. Olson was the only one that listened to my symptoms & pursued a treatment plan that finally addressed my condition & concerns. Thank you so much. I just wanted to let him know how thankful I am for taking such good care of my health!

After a fluke accident, my daughter fractured her finger and mangled her nail. The ER referred us to Dr. Ridley at TCO. We got an appointment quickly and soon learned that this injury to her tiny finger would require surgery. From the very beginning, Dr. Ridley and his staff made the process as easy as possible. Both Dr. Ridley and his assistant, Bradley, are kind, funny, gentle, and patient. They both did all they could to make my daughter feel comfortable and ease her fears. As a parent, I appreciated the fact that they travel together to their different clinic locations– familiar faces helped to ease my daughter’s nervousness, and provided for excellent continuity of care.

Dr. Ridley explained things thoroughly and took plenty of time to answer our questions and address any concerns. COVID (combined with a holiday) made scheduling tricky. But between Dr. Ridley and his care coordinator, Jackie, they took action to not only secure an open operating room, but assisted in getting same day scheduling for the COVID test and pre-op exam. Dr. Ridley demonstrated superb bedside manner. In the world of orthopedics, I suspect that this is one of the most minor cases. However, an injury is painful and scary for a 10 year old and Dr. Ridley was respectful and compassionate towards both of us. Immediately following surgery, Dr. Ridley filled us in on how things went and what to expect next. The surgical experience was flawless and my daughter experienced NO surgical pain at any time after. We are now three weeks post-surgery and she is healing, as expected, and nearly ready to return to all her usual activities.

Scheduling post-op appointments has been easy and efficient. We have been able to schedule at times convenient to us, and have experienced almost no wait time while at the clinic. While I would prefer no more broken bones in our future, I would definitely return to TCO and would have no hesitation in returning to Dr. Ridley. He is knowledgeable, competent, and patient-focused. In the words of the patient herself: “Five out of five stars! He is fantastic!” She also sought out a business card on her way out. I will have to monitor this, as she may now think they are old pals and be calling just to chit chat.

Dr. Arntson performed an anterior hip replacement for me on 11/9/2020 at Mercy Hospital. Even with the hoops to jump through during this COVID-19 era, everyone from check in, surgery, recovery, and post-op care was wonderful. I am 5 weeks post-surgery, and have been walking unassisted for 2-3 weeks, with little to no unmedicated discomfort. I will be scheduling hip #2 with Dr. Arntson for 2021.
