Patient Testimonials

Thank you Dr. Smith!!! My bad spinal stenosis you said was causing tingling and numbness, unable to tilt my head back, sent me off to have a cervical epidural and saving surgery as a last resort. All I can say is this epidural procedure fixed me, 5 days later and I feel 100% awesome, no nerve pinching, no numbness in fingers and hands. I even road my motorcycle 300 miles on Sunday with no incident. Thank you thank you thank you!

I’m a longtime patient of TCO and have been since 2016. Dr. Jay Johnson did my total knee in April 2017 and my shoulder procedure was done by Dr. Edward W. Szalapski, MD in late January 2020. From day 1 to now, I couldn’t be happier with the competence, knowledge, professionalism and character of these two men, as well as the staff and physical therapists involved. All are VERY professional, courteous and prompt. I have a recurring back injury that I may have them look at next and I’ll put my trust in their capable hands yet again. Thank you for all you’ve done for me.

Dr. Deal did surgery on my L3-4 lumbar microdiscectomy. He is a great surgeon, since my surgery I don’t have any more pain in my back or down my left leg. It’s been 3 months since surgery. Dr. Deal is a great doctor.

I would like to let Dr. Asp know that you have changed my life . My hip was a total mess and you and your staff are amazing. I can do anything I want with no pain. I want to say thank you for giving me my life back.

Dr. Crowe successfully operated on my spine. In just under 2 weeks my drop foot condition was just about eliminated and I was back to walking normal. Thanks to Dr. Crowe and Brianna Randall, PA-C, along with the wonderful staff at North Memorial Hospital Maple Grove who all worked together to insure such a great outcome.

I am truly grateful for Dr. Anseth, Heidi and his entire team. I had the pleasure of being in the EXCEL Program and am thrilled to share that this program, Dr. Anseth and his team are second to none. The entire process from when I first met him to the successful recovery of my hip replacement was all very smooth. As one who has not had a lot of surgeries I was a bit nervous when I made the decision to get my hip replaced. But, I knew I was in the hands of a very capable and highly competent surgeon who has hired the best team. TCO has the EXCEL process down to a science. In every step of the way I felt like a patient that they valued from beginning to end. Pain management was highly mastered. The entire team is all very knowledgeable and highly professional. Dr. Anseth IS a Top Doctor! Today I walk with no pain. I thank him for restoring the quality of my life and being the awesome doctor that he is! It is an honor to endorse him and his practice. TCO is second to none!

Extremely satisfied with the treatment and care I received from Twin Cities Orthopedics and especially from Dr. Steven Meisterling during this very difficult and painful period of recovery. Very impressed and thankful for his skill and knowledge.

Dr. Kirksson has done a couple of injections and more recently an EMG in January, 2020. His injections were painless. The EMG, which is mildly uncomfortable no matter what a physician does went great. Excellent technique. He really puts you at ease and has a calm confident approach to things. Very knowledgeable, patient, and kind. I really felt that he actually cared about me personally and I wasn’t just another “procedure”. I myself, having been in the medical profession for many, many years, appreciate the quality of care I received by Dr. Kirksson. Thank you!

During my consultation with Dr. Tanner he spoke to me with confidence and concern. He described my condition and gave me a variety of options and supported my decision for surgery. My 23-year old son accompanied me to surgery and we were both very impressed and appreciative of the amount of time Dr. Tanner spent with us in pre-op. He asked questions, answered questions, spoke in understandable terminology, but was never condescending. He followed up with my son pot-op as well. My care from Dr. Tanner and his team has been excellent.
