Patient Testimonials

Dr. Gulli did my right total knee in 2011, and my left total knee in 2017. THANK YOU for giving me my life back! In recent weeks I have hiked in eight MN State Parks and at every one of them I kept saying, “Thank you Dr. Gulli for my new knees!” Thanks to his incredible TEAM, too! Margaret and Dawn, you two are awesome!

Dr. John Tanner is a great foot surgeon. About a year ago I had bunion surgery and the foot realigned. It turned out wonderful. It looks beautiful! I am back to walking over a mile a day. Dr. Tanner explained everything in a way I could understand and was very patient with all my questions. He also has a great staff to support him. Next month I will be having my other foot done. I highly recommend Dr. Tanner to anyone who needs foot surgery.

I picked Dr. Szalapski out of a phone book 18 years ago at 43 years old needing a hip replacement. He was professional and gave me all the information I didn’t want to hear! I lucked out and got the best results I could have hoped for! He has since replaced my other hip, a knee and most recently my shoulder. I love him and tell everyone I know to go to him! He doesn’t always tell you what you want to hear but honestly not his fault. I thank God I randomly picked him I’ve gotten the best results on all my surgeries and can honestly say I have no residual pain. His staff is awesome and I could not be happier and no I’m not related ha!

I love the fact that I can walk 18 holes of golf again. I hated taking a cart while my friends walked the course. Nice to be able to join them in walking.

Dr. Arntson performed a shoulder joint replacement for me. The surgery went perfectly, and I had no pain following surgery. Dr. Arntson gave me his full attention whenever I had an office visit and I was treated very professionally. I will be having my other shoulder joint replaced in the fall, and I actually am looking forward to it. Of course, I will have Dr. Arntson doing the surgery.

Dr. Arntson diagnosed my shoulder problem and operated on it. The surgery was a success, I have no pain and I feel great! He did a great job and I’m glad I went with Dr. Arntson.

Being 53 and living an active lifestyle include hockey, hunting and a physically demanding job, I started to feel pain and loss of mobility in my left hip. A visit to a surgeon was in order. Upon leaving the consultation with a different doctor I felt like I was keeping him from something more important than me. That was not the case with Dr. Arntson. Upon leaving I knew he was going to be my surgeon. A total hip replacement was performed with the anterior approach. Amazing!! Within 8 weeks I was back to work doing my job delivering beer and ready for the fall hunting season not babying my new hip at all. I highly recommend Dr. Arntson and his staff so much that when my right side is to be replaced he will be performing the surgery.

Dr. Arntson was honest, informative and an excellent surgeon. He was clear in the objectives my partial knee replacement would achieve. He made no outlandish promises of a “fountain of youth.” I am relatively young at 53 years old and wanted a procedure that was viable to help me enjoy my work/recreational life but also allow flexibility if 15-20 years down the road if I needed more surgery.

The Dr. Arntson and staff are excellent with providing information you truly need and respecting the educational background you also possess (I worked in physical therapy 18 years and am currently Hospice RN). I am post-surgery day 3 and have not used any pain medications and have minimal swelling. Today was also my first day evaluated by TCO Physical Therapist Eric who is also eager to listen to my goals and questions following surgery. So far 6 stars out of 5!

I have been employed in Healthcare for 27 years and never experienced this level of world-class expertise combined with people who truly care! Dr. Arntson and TCO have assembled a unique team of people dedicated to improving my work/life balance.

Sincerely,
Patrick G., Hospice RN

Dr. Owen O’Neill performed a rotator cuff surgery on my right shoulder. Fabulous! I was back to my work the next day and playing bass that weekend! Almost back to normal after 3 and a half months. Thank you so much Dr. O’Neill, your staff, and all the personnel in both of your Twin Cities Orthopedics and the Two Twelve Medical Center. I so appreciate it. I highly recommend Dr. O’Neill and the rest of the staff at Twin Cities Orthopedics!

Sending our thanks to the entire staff of Twin Cities Orthopedics for sponsoring the high school physicals program. My son had his physical at the Blaine office. The event was well organized and represented Twin Cities Orthopedics in a fine manner.  The staff that my son and I interacted with were wonderful. We as a family wanted to share with you our appreciation for your sponsorship of this program.  You have a great team! Our sincerest thanks!
