Patient Testimonials

I would like to say I had an excellent experience with Dr. Dwivedi and my two surgeries at the TCO Blaine surgery center. Dr. Dwivedi has the best bedside manner of any doctors I have met. He is very kind, explained everything thoroughly, and made me feel confident in the care I was receiving. The outcomes of my surgeries have been very good. Other than normal healing, many of my pre-surgical symptoms have been mostly relieved. I would recommend Dr. Dwivedi to anyone needing carpal tunnel surgery.

Dr. Dwivedi performed carpal tunnel surgery on my left and right hands. I suffered for many years with numbness and pain. The surgery that Dr. Dwivedi performed has been life changing for me. The pain and numbness are gone. My experience with Dr. Dwivedi and his staff was outstanding. From the first meeting to surgery and rehab, it was a great experience. I would recommend Dr. Dwivedi, his staff, and Twin Cities Orthopedics very highly.

I had carpal tunnel release surgery at TCO Blaine on January 21st. Dr. Dwivedi is a compassionate, caring, and skilled surgeon. I had immediate relief from my carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms. I am so grateful and highly recommend Dr Dwivedi!

Everything with my finger surgery went great. Dr. Dwivedi did an excellent job explaining things before and after my surgery. My finger is healing well, the swelling is going down, and occupational therapy has been beneficial. I would give him five stars!

My husband and I both had surgery done by Dr. Dwivedi and we couldn’t be more pleased. He is easy to talk to and he did great work! I no longer have numbness in my hands and arms at night. Overall, I am very happy!

From my first visit with Dr. Shashank Dwivedi he was personable, professional, and very informative. He made sure I fully understood the condition of my thumb and the surgery that would fix it. During the procedure, he continued to explain each step, which was especially reassuring since I was not under anesthesia. His clear communication and calming manner made the entire experience very positive. I highly recommend Dr. Dwivedi.

In 2015, at the age of 43, I made the best decision of my life to have Dr. Stephen Olmsted perform ligament reconstruction surgery on my right wrist. Prior to the surgery, I had an unknown injury and was unable to perform basic tasks like washing dishes and writing. I am an avid fisherman, and I even stopped fishing due to the pain in my wrist. Dr. Olmsted was very thorough before moving forward with surgery and explained that the procedure was not guaranteed to be successful.

The surgery was a huge success, and after about a year, my wrist was stronger than ever. I was able to return to all the activities I love. It has now been over 10 years since my surgery, and I can confidently say that my wrist feels stronger than ever without any limitations.  A big thank you goes out to Dr. Stephen Olmsted! I highly recommend him for any wrist surgery. I am so glad I made the decision to have surgery with him over 10 years ago.

Everything with my trigger finger surgery went great. Dr. Dwivedi explained exactly what would happen, so I felt fully prepared. My recovery is going very well and I am very pleased!

A little over a year ago, I suffered a freak accident where I lost part of my index finger. I had an emergency surgery to re-attach it. I was not in my hometown, and I was told to check-in with a surgeon when I got back. This is where I met Dr. Fischer. After examination and an X-ray, it was clear that the re-attachment did not take. I was then scheduled for amputation surgery.

I have never experienced anything like this in my life. I am an artist and the thought of losing part of my finger on my dominant hand terrified me. On the day of the surgery, I felt very anxious and scared. Dr. Fischer was very kind. He truly spent the time to talk to me and reassure me. Once I was wheeled into the surgical room, his whole team was there for me. They joked with me, made me feel comfortable, and they cared for me to help ease my stress. I think I even laughed a few times! It has been a journey since that day, and I still can’t thank them enough for all the care and support they provided. Thank you, Dr. Fischer and team!

My entire experience at Twin Cities Orthopedics with Dr. Dwivedi was incredible. I am very happy with my journey. My recovery is going fantastic and my hand is doing very well. Everything was explained thoroughly. I would highly recommend!
