Patient Testimonials

Dr. Jeremiah Johnson, along with Madison Styrlund and the rest of his team, made my recent partial knee replacement a truly positive experience. Initially, they performed a meniscus repair, but sadly, I re-tore that same meniscus. However, they offered me excellent options with great care and knowledge. They were incredibly patient and thorough throughout the process. The partial knee replacement was a success, and my recovery has been going wonderfully. I am now back to walking regularly and looking forward to getting back to running and skiing within the year. Dr. Johnson and his team have had a profoundly positive impact on my life, and I would highly recommend them to anyone!

I had a great experience at TCO Hudson for my physical therapy. My PT, Ben Danovsky, was super knowledgeable and encouraging. While the recovery was long, I progressed each week. I was happy to come to PT and see the improvements. I highly recommend TCO and Ben for any physical therapy needs.

Dr. Jeremiah Johnson and his care team went out of their way to ensure maximum care was given. I had a hip repair six-months prior to my hip replacement that did not go well when I saw a different physician outside Twin Cities Orthopedics. I was nervous to have another surgery so quickly to correct prior mistakes. However, I have been super happy with the results of my surgery and would completely trust Dr. Johnson with any future surgeries at TCO.

I had both of my knees replaced by Dr. Bircher. Post surgery went very well and I had no issues. My recovery time was quicker than I expected. Dr. Bircher was easy to schedule surgeries with at specific times that fit my needs. I am very pleased with the results.

I was a nervous about what might be going on with my ankle pain. It was getting worse, and I began to have trouble walking. Dr. Bisch put me right at ease. He was professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. He also had a very caring manner about him, which helped with my nervousness. He did a comprehensive exam and ordered the necessary tests I needed. He was clear when discussing my next steps. He truly listened to my concerns about long term implications. His goal was more than just a quick fix. Dr. Bisch helps people get back to what they love to do. I feel very confident and relieved that my ankle issue would not have long-term impacts on my life. I am grateful to have received such great care.

I was referred to Dr. Arntson by three different people who had such praise for his work. I trust my friends so I knew I could trust Dr. Arntson. He is kind, gentle, and knows exactly what he’s doing during surgery. I would have Dr. Arntson do any future surgeries if they would arise.

When I was having trouble standing after sitting for long stretches of time, I thought it was just an old age thing—I’m 71! Turns out, my knees were bone on bone. I saw Dr. Cooper and his assistant, April. She was wonderful. I was nervous because I’d never had a surgery like this before, and she kept me calm and explained everything. She told me to build up my protein and do certain exercises before surgery, so I’d have a smoother recovery. After the surgery, I had a lot of bruising, which she’d warned me about. I got off pain killers after a week and was walking alone after two weeks. April was there every step of the way to reassure me everything was normal and that I was making good progress. 

I had bilateral carpal tunnel release surgery done with Dr. Dwivedi. I am very pleased with my results. My recovery is going as expected and my hands are getting better every day. Dr. Dwivedi is an excellent doctor. He has wonderful bedside manner, and he took time to explain things to me thoroughly. I would absolutely recommend him!

At 52 years young, I found myself needing a partial knee replacement. Twin Cities Orthopedics was wonderful to work with and got me on the schedule in a very timely manner. Dr. Kruse was straightforward, yet kind. He took the time to make sure I understand my options. His team is also very accessible and answered all my questions. I had to go to Ridgeview Medical Center in Chaska to have my surgery. It was an hour away from my house and it made me a little bit nervous. I am pleased to say that I have never received such amazing care.

From the staff during pre-op, post-op, physical therapy, and my nursing care, they were all amazing! My nursing care was far superior to anything I have received in the past. They were very nurturing and professional at the same time. They explained everything to me in a way that made sense and provided me with my options. I felt very empowered even though I had just had knee surgery and was feeling a little gloomy about it. I highly recommend the teams at TCO and Ridgeview.

When I was 61 years old, I was hit by a truck while riding my bicycle. I am not going to list all the traumatic injuries for the sake of brevity. In the emergency room my wife was told I might never leave a wheelchair. The next morning, Dr. Nielsen performed the first of what would be three reconstructive surgeries, on my shattered left femur. After the first surgery, Dr. Nielsen leveled with me. He said guys my age don’t bounce back after such extensive trauma. However, because of my physical conditioning at the time of the collision and my attitude, he was giving me a 50/50 chance of eventually walking without an aid. I know he was talking with my wife while I was out, because then he added, “If you don’t do anything stupid.” You have to know me to know how spot-on that observation is.

Five and a half years later,  I am training with a 70-pound ruck sack to summit Cloud Peak, Wyoming on our nation’s 250th Anniversary. The peak is just over 13,000 feet requiring a minimum round-trip hike of 25 miles. My youngest son, Patriot, and I are going to skirt the base and visit the only glacier in the Big Horn Range while we are up there. We will be hiking and camping in the Cloud Peak Wilderness Area for at least five days. That wouldn’t have been possible without the skill and dedication of Dr. Nielsen and the team that treated my injuries. Thank you!
