Patient Testimonials

My recent back surgery was very successful. I feel better than I have for several years; I am able to go up and down stairs without any pain. I am looking forward to being able to do things I have not been able to do because of my back issues and pain. I thank Dr. Deal and Twin Cities Orthopedics for the great work they do.

I had surgery to repair a disk herniation that was causing a pinched nerve in June 2015. Dr. Deal had my condition quickly and properly diagnosed. His confidence in recommending the proper treatment put my mind at ease regarding the planned surgery. Prior to surgery I was unable to work, had great difficulty sleeping and was in extreme pain. Right away after surgery I was doing much better. Over the next three months while on restrictions I noticed a slow and steady improvement as lingering symptoms slowly disappeared. Now I am pain free and even small tingling reminders are becoming a rare occurrence. I could not be happier with the direction and outcome I received from Dr. Deal’s care.

Dr. Sherman treated me in 2000 when I was unable to attend to my own needs, my husband and children did everything. I woke up from my surgery and knew immediately that Dr. Sherman had given me back my life. I have been pain free for 15 years. I owe him so much.

My name is Joy.  I had suffered with very bad back and neck pain for years and the pain and complications were progressively getting worse. Dr. Deal was recommended to me and I have to say I have been extremely happy and satisfied with my results. I was very fearful of the surgery, but Dr. Deal is not only a fantastic surgeon, professional  but also a truly caring and compassionate person. He answered all of my questions and treated me with respect and a kindness one does not as often these days find in the medical profession.  I highly recommend Dr. Deal. I have had a successful outcome after my ACDF surgery with no complications and all of my pain has been  eliminated and I have been recovering very nicely. Great care, great Doctor.

Dr. Deal performed spinal fusion surgery on me in February, 2015. I couldn’t have been more pleased with Dr. Deal and the result of the surgery. I found Dr. Deal to be very professional, caring, and thorough. He took time to explain the need for the procedure and any recovery issues, and answered all of my questions. I am a retired Registered Nurse and immediately felt comfortable with Dr. Deal’s knowledge and handling of my case. The surgery went very well and my recovery has been going great. I would highly recommend Dr. Deal as an experienced and competent orthopedic surgeon.

Dr. Crowe’s associate, Dr. Kraft, had replaced both of my knee joints and both surgeries were very successful. I asked Dr. Kraft who he would want to operate on him, and he said Dr. Crowe. Dr. Crowe did a wonderful job on me. I had very little pain with the Lumbar Decompression and Fusion and my left Foot Drop was corrected.

I would without hesitation recommend Dr. Crowe to anyone needing his special skills.

My experience with Dr. Wetter was wonderful. Dr. Wetter was extremely personable, he gave me a thorough evaluation, he spent as much time as I needed answering my questions, explaining my condition to me and my husband, outlining the treatment options and helping me make a treatment decision then having his staff arrange treatment appointments with the appropriate facilities. I couldn’t have been more impressed. I highly recommend Dr. Wetter.

I felt completely confident with everyone involved in my procedure and that includes the intake people. I feel that Dr. Crowe and his staff did everything they could to get this old man up and walking with very little discomfort. I am very happy with the outcome!

Larry was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease at the age of twenty-five and has severe spinal stenosis. He has been living with damaged discs in his lower back for the last forty years. When the pain kept him from doing the thing he loved most – riding his motorcycle– Larry turned to Dr. Christian DuBois at Twin Cities Orthopedics for treatment.

Sally Ness had a 2 year history of back pain following a car accident. She was referred to Med-X Neck and Back Therapy at Twin Cities Orthopedics to help her “be her best, again.””The Med-X treatment relieved me of the persistent back pain I was experiencing. I had already completed two treatments of physical therapy that helped but did not eliminate the pain. I was fortunate enough to have a doctor refer me to Paul Biewen, MD who prescribed Med-X treatment.The Med-X treatment delivered by therapist Kari Cox, PT along with the series of stretching and strengthening exercises that Kari had me complete relieved me of my back pain. My son Dylan was also referred to Dr. Biewen and is now in Med-X treatment. The Med-X treatment has relieved him of pain and is teaching him how to maintain a healthy back by properly stretching various muscles, especially his hamstrings and strengthening various muscles, especially his lower back.”
