Patient Testimonials

I am continuing to heal. I appreciate very much the high level of care that I have received through this entire process with all involved from Dr. Meyer, TCO, and Ridgeview Medical Center! I look forward to my knee fully healed.

Three years after my first total knee replacement went awry, I have now had a highly successful replacement — of the replacement. Dr. Arntson’s reputation in the community for being a gifted surgeon made my decision easy when selecting him. What came as an unexpected bonus was that his kindness and underlying sense of humor during office and hospital interactions with him brought me joy.

I suffered with plantar fasciitis for three years. I did everything that I could to resolve this problem, as every step I took was filled with pain. It was only after meeting with Dr. Moser, who ordered an MRI of my feet, that it was determined that a platelet rich plasma (PRP) injection was my hope for healing. It was my answer! I am grateful and mostly pain free! I would recommend this treatment to others without reservation.

I am so pleased with my surgical experience. Facing a total hip replacement can be scary. The experience went so much better than I expected. I know every person is different but, at the end of 6 weeks, I have no pain or discomfort. Dr. Arntson – thanks for your skill and encouragement.

I spent my junior year of high school in constant pain because of my shoulder injury. I saw several doctors to get help with the pain and tried everything from physical therapy, acupuncture and massage. My shoulder pain continued to get worse. I got to the point that I could not concentrate at school because of the pain and I had to quit basketball. With cortisone shots I was able to play softball but I was still in significant pain. After the platelet rich plasma (PRP) injection, I was soon able to get the full range of motion back in my shoulder. I am fully enjoying my senior year pain-free. I am 3 weeks into the softball season and still completely pain free in my shoulder. I wish I would have had the PRP injection much sooner. Thank you, Dr. Holmes!

I was a very active person who hiked, biked, played tennis two hours a day, lifted weights and did many things during the day. My knee was very worn out and I became extremely debilitated. My pain was at a 10 and walking was extremely difficult as was sleeping. I felt like I couldn’t do anything without intense pain. After I had the surgery and went through strenuous physical therapy, I am now back to doing everything I like to do without pain. It took approximately 4 1/2 months to get back playing high-level tennis and now I’m playing three hours a day. I had absolutely no idea that I could feel as good as I feel doing the things that I love. I would have the surgery again if needed! Dr. Meyer did a great job! I would highly recommend him. The nurses and the support team were fabulous too.

Although I am still in the early stages of total recovery (10 weeks), I’m amazed at how well the surgery by Dr. Kelly and recovery have gone. Surgery pain was quick to subside (within days) and the shoulder pain (bone on bone + bone spurs) was totally gone immediately. Very thankful and pleased with the elimination of the day to day pain. By following PT plans, I’ve been able to notice constant improvement of restoring mobility and strength. Both are already much better than before the surgery and getting better every day. Can’t wait to get the other one fixed too. THANKS!

My surgery was a great success! Dr. Meyer was extraordinary and the care I received was amazing! The nurses at the Chaska Surgery Center were incredible! The recovery has been moving along smoothly. Walking without pain is such a treat!

Prior to my shoulder surgery with Dr. Christopher Meyer, I was not able to use my right arm at all. Instead, I was using a sling to keep from moving it at all to avoid the extra pain that came with it. After my surgery, I was able to go back to my everyday life and use both arms again!

I’m able to ride my bike pain free and most importantly ride my horse pain free!! Thank you Dr. Meyer and TCO!
