Patient Testimonials

I just had a knee replacement on July 10th, 2026, with Dr. Carlson at TCO Eagan. I am so glad I did it! I am almost three weeks post-op and I feel great. My knee has no more joint pain outside of typical surgical recovery. I am so thankful for the referral from Dr. LaPrade. Thank you to Dr. Carlson, TCO and their amazing staff.

I recently had knee replacement surgery through Twin Cities Orthopedics. I was referred by TCO Eden Prairie – Therapy for massage services with Brook Gahm. I have had a great experience and Brook is an exceptional massage therapist! She is knowledgeable and demonstrates her skill by working with a variety of injuries. She has helped me not only with my recovery from surgery but with other issues such as stress and back pain. Brook takes the time to listen to your individual needs. She is very relationship-oriented and has a calming presence. I am so grateful to find such a wonderful massage therapist. She is the best, and I will keep going back for more massages with her!

I had my total ankle replacement surgery done this past January. Before the surgery, I couldn’t walk without pain and even just standing could be excruciating. Dr. Seybold was an excellent surgeon, and I knew what to expect every step of the way. He truly listened to me! I am now pain free and my quality of life has improved immensely. You will not find a better doctor or surgeon to help you through this. I am so thankful for his care. He did a great job!

I took a fall and landed hard on a concrete floor with my right knee. After two weeks of pain and stubbornly hoping it would go away on its own, I made an appointment with Dr. Jeremiah Johnson at TCO Burnsville. They were great about getting me in very quickly. Making an appointment as a new patient was easy! The ladies at my salon spoke very highly of TCO. I was very impressed with Dr. Johnson and his staff. He asked several questions to understand my pain level and he patiently waited for my answers! It’s refreshing to have a doctor who communicates at a level understandable by a non-medical person like me. He took his time explaining my injury and what it would take to heal. It’s been a while since I have felt this confident with a doctor. I’ve recommended Dr. Johnson to my husband after he experienced a shoulder injury. I have no doubt he will receive the same top notch care. To Dr. Johnson, his team, and TCO staff, a sincere thank you!

Dr. Nessler and his team were very comforting and did a great job with my hip surgery. After one week, I swapped out the walker for a cane. After a few more days, I was walking without any aid! I had a Cool Therapy machine for my hip, and it really keeps the swelling down. Thank you to Dr. Nessler and his team!

I had surgery on July 9th, 2026, with Dr. Peterson, and had excellent results! It was a learning curve during my recovery, but I learned how to change my routine to fit the use of having my arm in a sling. Weeks before my surgery, I started to practice using my opposite arm only which was very helpful. I was able to see how I would need to adapt and overcome new challenges in common everyday tasks. I want to thank Dr. Peterson and his team for their work and for making me feel like family.

My daughter broke her fibula during basketball practice. I loved the fact that we could get her in to TCO Urgent Care and had X-rays taken immediately after it happened. We got there at 7:45pm and they closed at 8pm. The next morning, we received a phone call from Dr. Chen that we need to come in and see her right away to evaluate if my daughter needed surgery, which she did.

Dr. Chen was amazing to work with! She was super helpful and explained everything with the level of detail we needed. My daughter was a high school senior when it happened and committed to play college basketball this upcoming season. Dr. Chen performed the surgery, and we’ve met with her multiple times since. We would 100% recommend her to anyone that needed her specialty service.

Dr. Vanden Berge is the best! He is very helpful and I would recommend him to others.

After tearing my ACL during my section alpine skiing race in February, I didn’t expect to make it back for my spring golf season. But thanks to the help I received from physical therapist, Gina Gjersvik, I was not only able to come back to compete, but also shoot a counting score to lead Blake to a AA State Championship in golf. Gina always encouraged me, joked with me, and helped me stay hopeful and motivated with my recovery. The title would not have been possible without her, and I’m grateful I got to work with her.

I came to TCO for my second shoulder replacement. The first was an anatomical replacement, but my rotator cuff muscles were weak, so Dr. Frank Norberg did a revision. It actually ended up feeling better than my other shoulder. The doctors and physical therapists were good about talking about challenges and goals. Their care was tailored to what I wanted to achieve: to be active at 74 year old. To spend time with my seven grandchildren – pick them up and play with them. To get back to fishing, boating, hiking, and camping. I’m very thankful for my experience and I want as many people to know about it as possible!
