Patient Testimonials

Dr. Norberg did a reverse shoulder replacement on me about a year after I had surgery for a humerus break that left me with pain and limited movement of my right arm. He explained what the surgery would entail and the possible outcomes. I opted for the surgery which I had about two months ago. In the after surgery appointments I was impressed by his professionalism and postoperative program in dealing with my situation. As a result, today I have gotten back much of my movement and the pain has subsided. I owe many thanks to Dr. Norberg and his assistant for their expertise.

I have spent over 30 years struggling with back pain, and the past couple years have been the absolute worst as I had developed sciatica.

Dr. Crowe has given me my life back. In a matter of a couple weeks, the lumbar decompression he performed has permitted me do the things that I enjoy once again. My scarring is minimal too! I cannot wait until the weather breaks so my pups and I can go walking again. Thank you so much Dr. Crowe!

I spent an afternoon reading bio’s and researching surgeon’s. Even though I live across town from the two clinic’s he works out of, I chose Dr. Deal. The whole experience to date has been extremely gratifying. He is a kind, caring and articulate gentleman. His Care Coordinator Alyssa is quick to respond with answers to my questions. The incision was stitched WELL. So far, a week out of surgery and I seem to be doing as he expected. Minnesota Valley Surgery Center, TCO and Dr. Deal – CALL THEM.

Thank you, Dr. Wetter!

I actually slept through the night last night for the first time in weeks! You injected my shoulder and that is what I needed! I couldn’t believe it when I looked at the clock and it was 8:00am! I was waking up between 2:00-3:00am every night and not sleeping well.

Thank you. You were very nice and professional. I overheard a patient of yours expressing how happy he was and he stated: “you were the best surgeon ever!” How nice is that?  It made me smile. Thought I would do the same for you.

Thank you again,
Linda P.

I can’t say enough about the wonderful care I received from Dr. Michael Meisterling and his entire team. We came from out of state to have my knee replaced and his PA Shaun was great with our follow-up, answered all our questions and made it easy to go back. Kristi was so helpful before surgery with planning and working with our schedules, making it so easy to come into the Stillwater area and meet with Dr. Meisterling and then have surgery in the next few days, it was so great. Also, as stated, the entire group was great, the insurance people, the schedulers, and also the wonderful PT department at TCO. Everyone gets a 10/10, it was a very positive experience from all persons involved and I would highly recommend anyone considering any orthopedic concern to see this group. Thank you so much!!!!

I brought my daughter in yesterday to the Edina walk-in clinic for an injured hand/wrist. It was such a great experience. I appreciate being able to take her there instead of a dirty, influenza infested urgent care. The clinic was clean and the staff was very kind. The x-ray techs were so great with my 4-year-old and got the x-ray done quickly.

Wife had an appointment at Twin Cities Orthopedics with Dr. Michael Meisterling’s team today. She checked in, and they called her before my Keurig coffee brewed. Once in the room they took her to x-ray before I took a drink of my coffee. CPA Shawn O’Keefe came in after my 1st sip of coffee. He was very pleasant and thorough. Took off the dressing, talked over the x-rays, answered our questions, filled out her leave of absence forms and faxed them, then gave her a script for pain meds. I have NEVER been in and out of a doctor’s visit that fast in my life. VERY impressed.

Dr. Gulli just performed my second total knee replacement which was a huge success, as my first surgery.  Dr. Gulli and his entire team have always been extremely professional and always available to answer any questions I may have. I participated in the EXCEL Program, allowing me to know before surgery what my total financial obligation was. Also it was wonderful to receive one bill for all of the costs. I was transported to Interlude and was extremely happy with the care of the RN and PT while staying there a very short time. I would highly recommend Dr. Gulli and his team.

I have had both knees replaced by Dr. Gulli. Both surgeries were highly successful and I have gotten back to my normal routine less than two months after my most recent surgery! I can’t thank Dr. Gulli and Margaret Baranowski enough for giving me my life back! Sure, it’s a hard surgery to recover from, however, if you stick to the exercises and PT, you will have an amazing outcome! Oh, and it helps to have a positive attitude, as well! Thanks, too, to Dawn, Patient Care Coordinator. She completes the team of Gulli/Baranowki!  I am most thankful and grateful to them all!

Thank you Dr. Lewis for the amazing service today.
I have never received as great of service in the past as I did today.
