Patient Testimonials

Dr. Chris Meyer and the TCO Team at the Ridgeview Two Twelve Surgery Center in Chaska have done a fabulous job for me. I had both knees replaced within the last three months. The scheduling, documentation, surgery, overnight stay, physical therapy, and follow-up has been a 10 out of 10 experience from start to finish. I was hesitant to have these old knees replaced at 73 years old, but I feel young again. I never had any pain after surgery, other than stiffness as I followed Dr. Meyer’s orders on best practices for rehab. He told me, “There are no extra credit points for pushing this along. Lay low for 2 weeks. Attend PT and your knee will heal just fine”. I followed instructions and I was on my way to normal range of motion within three weeks. The staff are professional, personable, friendly, and well trained. Thank you and great job to everyone!

My physical therapy experience from Kayla Gerasimou and Ashleigh Kratz was tremendous! They both listened carefully to my issues and worked on finding out exactly what was needed to get me back on track. I would highly recommend both of them!

I had surgery done on my right thumb with Dr. Nishant Dwivedi and am very happy with my results. Dr. Dwivedi did a great job. He is a very thorough doctor, and I felt comfortable going into surgery knowing what to expect. I would definitely recommend him to anyone!

I am so grateful for the Twin Cities Orthopedics physical therapy program and the incredible Ingrid Weddig and Anna Morrison. These two are a true gift. They helped me get my range of motion back, relieve the aches and pains I had with tissue expanders, and taught me hints to get me moving again. Most importantly, they gave me faith, encouragement, and reassurance when I was scared or felt alone. I wish this program would have been around for my mom or sisters because they were left with limited motion. They weren’t given this opportunity to get back to normal. A big thanks to my all three of my doctors who referred me to TCO, and especially Ingrid and Anna. You make such a difference. May God continue to bless you!

I had a bilateral endoscopic carpal tunnel surgery with Dr. Nishant Dwivedi, and I am very happy with my results! Dr. Dwivedi is a very skilled and professional surgeon. I was well informed going into surgery and had all of my questions answered. I give him a 10/10!

I recently had a total knee replacement done by Dr. Hunt. The experience was quite beyond my expectations. It amazes me how efficient the whole process has become. The entire staff was exceptional, responsive to every inquiry, and focused on providing the best care possible. The surgery went flawlessly with Dr. Hunt and his team did a superior job. The scarring was minimal. They had me up and walking right after surgery. Physical therapy started on day three of my recovery. The booklet from TCO explaining the procedure from start to finish was right on target and answered all questions. It accurately described expectations for the entire timeline from pre-op, surgery, and recovery. The facilities at the TCO Chaska location were also top notch. Even the food was great. My wife and I want to thank the entire TCO team.

I arrived at noon for my 1:00 appointment and the front desk let Nick Meath know I was there. Although this was on his lunch break, he took me in early. Wow! Nick spent time reviewing the injection he gave me two years ago and we discussed my current knee issue. He answered my questions about steroid injections and explained why he was injecting at a particular place on my knee. I left with a good understanding of my knee health and future alternatives for treatment.

The Orthopedic Institute was a marvelous facility. The accommodations were first class, and the staff was incredibly attentive and helpful. I have commented to many people that the food was outstanding, definitely better than the food I’ve had in hospitals. If the building were moving, it would be like a luxury cruise.

TCO’s Dr. Samuel Carlson was great. Everything was thorough, considerate, and productive. The follow-up visits have been no less informative. I highly recommend Dr. Carlson and the process to friends and golf buddies.

Dr. Bircher gave me my life back. My hip replacement surgery was so successful, I have to remind myself that I had it operated on. I am back to playing 4.0 tennis as if it never happened. Thank you to Dr. Bircher!

I had a total right hip replacement (anterior approach) a little over 9 weeks ago. From the time I reached my recovery room, I have experienced very little pain after my surgery. I only took the over-the-counter drugs prescribed to manage what discomfort I had. I used the NICE ice machine which was a game changer. It was easy to use and made icing simple. The difference in my mobility is night and day. I put off the surgery for 2 years and now I regret waiting this long. Dr. Arntson did a great job and I would recommend him to anyone. I am amazed at what this has done for me. It has given me the ability to be completely free to go about life again.
