Patient Testimonials

Dr. Arntson and the team at Mercy gave me a new hip 2 weeks ago. The first meeting with him was very positive. He was calm and thoughtful during my visits. He thoroughly explained the whole procedure to me and I left knowing he is a great surgeon. Dr. Arntson told me I was a good candidate for an anterior total hip replacement. The evening after my morning surgery I was walking with a walker and no joint pain. The next day he came to my hospital room to check on me and give me some guidance. He explained what my responsibilities for a full recovery would be. His follow up call a week after surgery was surprising but very appreciated. I am thankful to him and the people at Mercy for their skill and kindness. I would recommend Dr. Arntson to all my friends and family.

Dr. Hunt is a phenomenal surgeon with a wonderful bedside manner. He was able to fully explain the procedure to me and put my frightened mind to rest. He continued to encourage and care for me throughout the surgery and recovery. My new knees are awesome and I have a new, better life. I am so thankful for a compassionate, skilled surgeon like Dr. Hunt.

Dr. Kirksson is so skilled with his injections. They don’t hurt at all. He has a kind manner that puts all at ease. I would highly recommend him.

January of 2014 I had my left hip replaced by Dr. Comfort. April of 2018 I had my right hip done, again by Dr. Comfort. My recent surgery included participation in the EXCEL Program and was carried out at the High Point Surgery Center. Both procedures and my experiences with them, to include the EXCEL Program and High Point Surgery Center, were nothing but positive. I am 6 weeks out of my recent procedure and recovering well, to the extent that I am back to work and suffering only minimal muscle soreness. I would very much like to thank Dr. Comfort, Molly his assistant, and Dave for the great care they gave me through the process. Their care and talents have given me back the ability to enjoy a pain free lifestyle. Overall, I would highly recommend Dr. Comfort and his staff. Thank you Dr. Comfort and Twin Cities Orthopedic for the quality care given.

I had surgery on my foot and I had the wonderful Dr. Tanner. He was the best. He took real good care of me and I will tell everyone if you have feet problems go to Dr. Tanner – he is the best. My foot looks great. It is now nice and straight – it’s perfect.

After receiving a phone call from my daughter’s school stating, “please come to school we believe that your daughter broke her arm.” I knew that the only place that I wanted to take her was Twin Cities Orthopedics. When we arrived, the waiting room full of people and the wait times were long. However, Courtney, the receptionist could see the urgency behind the patients face. She went above and beyond to make sure that we were seen quickly and efficiently. I will be forever grateful for the service that we received from her. After being placed in a room, the doctor came in immediately, took x-rays, waited for the results and explained the severity of her injuries. The doctor took time to explain our options and allowed us to make a decision that we felt was best for our child. I want to say, “Thank You” to everyone that helped us and took care of us that day.

Dr. Steven Meisterling has been my surgeon for both knee replacements. My first surgery was in 2013 and my second surgery was just this past March of 2018. I am completely satisfied with both procedures. I received such great care from doctor and staff both before and after surgery. My knee is healing nicely and I am back to my normal routines. Thank you so much.

Dr. Kirksson was the 1st Doctor that I felt actually listened to me. He took time to explain what was wrong. Thank you so much.

Dr. Ryan is absolutely outstanding! We were so pleased with our recent visit! She took time and really listened to our concerns. She engaged and cared enough to get to the bottom of issues. She made an action plan and showed respect for my daughter’s pain and desire to get back to competing. She is extremely knowledgeable and clearly explained everything! We will travel the 4 hour trip to see her for all our medical needs because she is worth it! Hands down one of the best doctors we have ever seen! We are so pleased and so impressed! So grateful and finally feel like things are going to get resolved! We have real hope….thanks to Dr. Maria Ryan.

GREAT success with my total shoulder replacement done by Dr. O’Keefe. Perfect results and the care given from making the first appointment through PT was top notch. If there is any advice I would give it would be DON’T WAIT to have it done. I am pain free!
