Patient Testimonials

Dr. Bircher and his entire team are not only professional in their communication but are also very personable and friendly. The hip replacement recovery was quicker than I had imagined, and Dr. Bircher’s guidance during my recovery made it go smoothly.

Dr. Wulf performed arthroscopic surgery on my shoulder. I am 7-weeks out and already have better range of motion with less pain. Dr. Wulf was great with the whole process from initial visits to physical therapy to injections to surgery. He always answered my questions and was good at explaining the surgical process. I am grateful for my positive experience with Dr. Wulf and TCO. I highly recommend Dr. Wulf and his staff – they are all very professional!

I recently had both of my knees replaced by Dr. Ridley from Twin Cities Orthopedics. He was very confident, approachable, and I felt like we had a good discussion about my options. He has wonderful bedside manner. I was confident in his ability through his work ethic, his knowledge, and his way of communicating with me. My experience was stellar. I am 15-weeks post-op from my left knee and 8-weeks out from my right. I am back to biking again and I am planning on golfing in a month. Cheers to Dr. Ridley for helping me turn back time. I would absolutely refer friends and family to him!

I am so glad I went to Twin Cities Orthopedics and chose Dr. James Bircher as my surgeon. He really cares about his patients and makes you feel comfortable about the whole experience. I now feel that I have my life back. My right hip replacement went even better than I had hoped. I highly recommend him and his team.

Dr. Mittelsteadt did surgery on both my left and right foot. This included bunions, hammer toes straightening, and fused bones due to arthritis. He spent time to explain everything clearly and gave me a clear picture of how surgery would proceed. He was kind, personable, and professional. I highly recommend him and his team!

My wife and I perused surgeons for a knee replacement she needed. We chose Dr. Bircher, and it was a great decision. After he and his outstanding team successfully completed her knee replacement, we chose him again for my hip replacement. Once again, Dr. Bircher and his team did a superb job on my hip. We would highly recommend Dr. Bircher and his team to anyone with utmost confidence.

Knee replacement surgery was performed by Dr. Bircher on my husband who is  88 years old and has dementia. The outcome was fantastic and he has such good range of motion without any pain. Dr. Bircher and his team during the surgery and at the post-op visits were excellent!

The EXCEL program was amazing and super cost effective for my partial knee replacement. Dr. Hunt and his staff are informative, friendly, and supportive from beginning to end. I am so grateful I went with TCO, and I highly recommend this facility and program to everyone!

Dr. Mittelsteadt removed bone spurs and scraped arthritis from my ankle. He really took the time when talking with me during my appointments. I highly recommend him to anyone.

I had a double mastectomy in June 2024 and began working with Ingrid Weddig for physical therapy 3-weeks later. I was very nervous since my surgery was a choice due to a BRCA mutation and not related to cancer. Some people do not agree with a flat closure for the surgery, but that is what I chose to have done. I was surprised that it didn’t matter why I was there or what closure I had decided on, I was always given the best care from Ingrid. She asked me about my goals and what activities I wanted to work towards. She tailored my therapy to exactly what I needed and when I needed it. She answered all my questions and calmed my fears. I could tell how much experience she had as she easily navigated any of my struggles that appeared during the recovery process. Once she learned I was scheduled for a revision surgery, she adjusted her plan for me again so I could best prepare my body to go into surgery strong. I am happy to say that I am almost 100% back to normal. Most days, I don’t even realize I had surgery at all. Ingrid made my recovery so much easier, and I am so thankful that my surgeon referred me to her and Twin Cities Orthopedics. I had a fantastic experience with TCO!
