Patient Testimonials

It was supposed to be nothing more than a quick ride to the store, but a small crack in the sidewalk changed everything. I went down, and just like that, plans for basketball, boating and endless outdoor fun were put on hold.

I broke my radius and dislocated my ulna, which led to a long night in the emergency room. They coordinated with Twin Cities Orthopedics and shared my case with Dr. Amy Moeller, who had treated me earlier that spring for a basketball-related thumb injury. By the next morning, Dr. Moeller’s team had reached out, and surgery was scheduled for the following day.

What followed was not just recovery. It was a mental and physical grind.

1,630 hours watching practices from the sidelines. 5,000 right-hand-only shots. 540 minutes of one-on-one, controlled basketball training. 350 minutes of right-hand-only ball handling. 12 physical therapy appointments.

After 97 mentally and physically exhausting days, I was finally given the green light to play basketball again, fully, freely and without restrictions. There were days I asked, ‘Why me? Will I ever get back?’ With the incredible support of the staff at TCO and everyone around me, I kept pushing.

All of that work paid off. In my first game back, I scored 14 points. That moment did not happen alone. It was made possible by the incredible care from Dr. Moeller and her team, the TCO hand therapy staff, and an unwavering network of family, trainers, coaches, teammates and friends.

What started as a simple summer outing became a powerful reminder of resilience, faith, and just how much heart it takes to fight your way back to the court.

I have had 23 surgeries in my life and Dr. Seybold is the best surgeon of them all. Ten months ago, I had a surgery on my right foot and toe that went wrong by another surgeon at another clinic. I ended up in the emergency room, and they referred me to Dr. Seybold. They said he was the best and he truly is!

From the first visit, he was patient, kind, and empathetic to my pain. He spent a long time with me going over the issues from my first surgery. He didn’t judge me. He believed in my pain and discomfort as it was excruciating to deal with. He came up with a game plan, and I have had two surgeries to correct the first surgery from a different surgeon.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Seybold. I wish he worked on all parts of the body, because I don’t ever want another surgeon. Thank you to Dr. Seybold, Valerie, and the rest of his team. You have made a bad situation so much better!

Dr. Dwivedi is a great guy, and he did an excellent job explaining things to me. The recovery from my endoscopic carpal tunnel release is going great. I have no pain at all. I highly recommend Dr. Dwivedi!

Dr. Comfort and his team did an exemplary job repairing a complicated bucket-handle meniscus tear on my right knee. Having had previous injuries and surgeries with this knee, it was vital for me to have a top-tier surgical team. Beginning with the initial consultation and continuing through post-operative care, the team exceeded my expectations. They took the time to understand my previous injuries, clearly explained options, and answered questions thoroughly providing both expertise and compassion. The surgery and recovery were seamless, and my knee functions better than I expected. I am extremely grateful for the skill, professionalism, and expertise provided. I highly recommend entrusting Dr. Comfort and team to treat complicated surgical needs.

I could not be happier with my hip replacement from Dr. Nessler at Twin Cities Orthopedics. From preparation, surgery, amenities, and recovery, I could not be happier. My already active lifestyle is more comfortable than it has ever been.

Twin Cities Orthopedics did a great job in preparing me for surgery. I had an amazing physical therapy, Fernando Espinosa, and my follow-up with Dr. Schmiesing went well. Each provider gave me personalized attention and my results were great!

I wanted to take a moment to share the exceptional care and professionalism I have received under the attentive care of Dan Silverberg. The United States Department of Veterans Affairs referred me to orthopedic care through the Office of Community Care because of my combat injuries that include my back, neck, stomach, shoulders, wrist, ankles, etc. My primary care doctor at the VA told me that I needed to try different modalities of care including orthopedics. Within ten visits at TCO, the severe pain I would normally experience has subsided. The large diastasis and associated bulge I would normally see has significantly reduced, and the pain I normally experience has lessened. While my disabilities are lifelong and I will never be completely healed, Dan has significantly helped me and I am very grateful.

I also work at the United States Department of Veterans Affairs where I was appointed by the president to lead finance and support to all of our clinics, hospitals, and veteran benefit programs. I have come across many skilled and committed professionals who dedicate their lives to helping people. I would put Dan Silverberg at the top of this list. If there are opportunities to train other physical therapists, I think he would be a fantastic choice to help Twin Cities Orthopedics lead from a place of excellence, experience, knowledge, and the art involved in this practice. Thank you for positively changing my life and allowing me to live a more full, enjoyable, and pain-free existence.

This past November, I suffered a serious injury during a workout at my local gym. I tore one of my hamstring muscles, the biceps femoris. The damage was extensive at 9 centimeters, and the pain was overwhelming. I struggled to sit comfortably, bend down to put on my shoes, or even tie them properly. In search of help, I turned to Dr. Jeremiah Johnson and his team at Twin Cities Orthopedics. From the very first visit, I was impressed by the outstanding care, professionalism, and compassion everyone provided. I am deeply grateful for the support and expertise while guiding me through this difficult period.

Thanks to Dr. Johnson’s treatment plan and the physical therapy I received at TCO, I have made remarkable progress. In less than sixty days, I am well on my way to recovery. While I still have therapy ahead to fully strengthen my muscles, I am confident that I will soon regain complete function in my hamstring muscles again. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Johnson and his team to anyone seeking the highest level of care and recovery from such an injury. Thank you to everything at TCO for what you have all done to help me heal from this injury quickly.

Dr. Dwivedi was awesome and I would absolutely recommend him! He explained things very well, so I knew what to expect going into surgery and recovery. Occupational therapy was extremely beneficial and I continue to do the exercises they showed me. I continue to get a little better each day. Overall, it was a great experience!

I had low back disc surgery in February 2025 with Dr. Harris. When I was filling out the post-op surveys that were sent to me, I wished I could thank Dr. Harris for the wonderful results I’ve had from his skillful surgery! Yes, it was painful at first, but with each week I continued to improve until I had no pain at all. I am now able to enjoy every day!
