Patient Testimonials

My hip replacement surgery done by Dr. Knowlan has completely eliminated my pain. I am able to sleep much better and also stand without pain. I am 100% satisfied with my decision to have it done.

I met Dr. Langer in early October. He is very patient and empathetic. He listened and answered all questions from my husband and me. He showed us where the problems were on the x-ray. What impressed me the most is the outstanding service by his staff members. A day after seeing Dr. Langer, we had a question and left a voicemail for his assistant, Adam. A staff member called back to let me know that Adam was out of the office today and would get back to me when he returned on Monday. She just wanted to inform me so that I didn’t keep on waiting and wondering. On Monday, Adam returned my phone call first thing in the morning. Overall, I’m very pleased with the excellent service provided by Dr. Langer and the outstanding service of his staff. Their actions demonstrate the high professional practice and total patient care.

10/30/19 was my 4th (6th in the family) separate orthopedic surgery with Dr. Ed Szalapski at Twin Cities Orthopedics. I have known Dr. Szalapski 36 years and know he is a conscientious, thorough, science minded, research based and dedicated orthopedist. So all I can tell you is that it is not by chance my surgical experience has been outstanding in every aspect…diagnosis, surgery and follow-up. I feel fortunate I trusted and selected Dr. Ed Szalapski to be my orthopedic surgeon.

This is just to let you know how pleased I am with the surgery. It is so good to not experience pain, limping, etc. anymore. Dr. Arntson was superb! He takes genuine interest in the patient and also takes time to address any question without making one feel rushed. I chose Dr. Arntson because a friend of mine had him do two shoulder replacements and she couldn’t say enough nice things about him. I have suggested him to several of my friends and two are for sure going to see him. Thank you for a “10” experience. Also, I am very grateful for the kindness shown by the Mercy Hospital staff including the doctor of anesthesiology and his assistant. Both were very understanding and kind.

Hi Dr. Coetzee and team! I hope you all are doing well! I just wanted to give you all an update as I am back to running and working out hard! I don’t even think about my foot anymore when I go out for a run and am pretty much doing the same things I was before my surgery! I am so excited for the season ahead and just wanted to express my gratitude because I wouldn’t be where I am now without the help of all of you! I am sincerely grateful for all of your kindness and generosity, as it made a huge difference in my life. Thank you all again so much for comforting me during my surgery and reassuring me that it would all be OK! I am forever grateful for my experience at Twin Cities Orthopedics. With that, I am hoping to be running an indoor track meet at the University of Minnesota in the middle of February potentially, so if I do end up racing there, I will let you know! 🙂

Thanks again for all you do!

Sincerely,
Brette J.

My hip replacement by Dr. Meyer has changed my physical life. I struggled with neck pain for at least 10 years but after my hip surgery found it much easier to walk upright and correct my posture, which I have done at 65 years old. My chronic neck pain is now 90% gone! And my hip? Incredible! No pain, perfect! I feel whole again!

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.
