Patient Testimonials

I had total knee replacement surgery approximately a year ago and I can honestly say that I haven’t felt this great in around five years. Dr. Hunt was amazing along my journey. He was kind, knowledgeable and had excellent bedside manner. I also was part of the EXCEL program. The suites were perfect for recovery and having one on one nursing staff available was a plus as well. The physical therapy was great because I was provided services often and it was right down the hallway. I am back to the person I used to be – being active once again and without pain!

After many years of living with pain in my left hip that increasingly limited my activities, I decided to have my hip replaced at age 56. I was referred to Dr. O’Neill by an acquaintance and after meeting him for the first time, I was sure that I wanted him to be my surgeon. He was professional, good-humored and took the time to make sure all of my questions were answered. I entered the EXCEL program and the surgery was done in their Edina office with overnight recovery across the street. I was discharged the following day with only a cane. I stopped needing pain medication after a few days and within two weeks no longer used the cane. Recovery was quick and I have no pain or limitations. My only regret is that I didn’t have it done years earlier.

I have very HIGH regards and review of Dr. O’Neill, Jessie Donovan and team. Each of them have given/shown me their desire to make life easier for me. Dr. O’Neill is always performing the latest procedures. To have such horrible pain and not able to complete even small tasks, it’s been a treasure to have relief. Dr. O’Neill has performed four major surgeries for me and all have been very successful. Two hips replacements and the latest are two knee surgeries. The recovery from the latest knee surgery this fall has been extremely easy and quick to once again get back to living. Life is so much better. I have suggested Dr. O’Neill to several others who have surgical needs and reports that I hear from them are equally pleased.

Just a few months after my surgery with Dr. Meyer, I was able to get back to all the activities I love including hiking, golfing, strength training, and snowmobiling. I have full use of my left knee and really can’t tell the difference between the surgically repaired left knee and my right knee.

I was not able to walk any distance without pain. I now walk while I play golf. We live downtown Minneapolis and I am now able to walk to restaurants and sporting events.

Dr. McGarvey – You have been such a blessing to us in 2017. It means more than you will ever know to now be able to walk pain-free for the first time in 15+ years. I feel very fortunate to have found such a caring, gifted doctor with an exceptionally helpful P.A. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas!

Dr. Edward Kelly,

My name is Larry and I am 79 years of age. After 10 years of problems with my left elbow, including surgery, shots, and therapy, I was referred to Dr. Kelly at Twin Cities Orthopedics.  Dr. Kelly informed me that I was a good candidate for a total elbow replacement.  I was quite nervous about making the decision to have a total elbow replacement because I had no knowledge of anyone who had ever had this done.  My surgery date was set for June 13, 2017 at Fairview Hospital in Burnsville. All went well with the surgery and I was back at home in Grand Rapids the next evening.

I was pleased with the low level of pain I experienced following surgery and within a few weeks I could use my arm and bend my elbow with minimal pain.  Now after 3 months, I am doing great and can function without pain for the first time in 10 years.

Thank you to Dr. Kelly and his surgical team at Fairview Hospital.

Dr. Allan Hunt’s expertise and caring manner provided an exceptional experience for a very difficult procedure of total knee replacement. His care team was helpful and considerate of every question, need and concern. The EXCEL program was amazing from pre-op to post-op. I could not have wished for a better scenario. I am fortunate to have been referred to such an amazing surgeon. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!

When I was told that I needed a knee replacement, I went to my friend who was the head nurse of the orthopedic department at Abbott Northwestern. She recommended Dr. Hunt and that was all the confirmation I needed because I had worked with him as an Operating Room nurse when he was a resident. Although it had been over 18 years I remembered what a nice, kind, caring person he was. I have been so happy with my outcome! The constant pain is gone and I am out doing what I was limited to before. My care at Abbott was wonderful. I would say if you are living in pain go see Dr. Hunt!

I had my ankle replaced by Dr. Cammack in August 2017.  I was very nervous about the surgery and had even decided to cancel, when my primary care physician encouraged me to go through with it. I am so glad I did!  The procedure was a total success and the recovery was quick and with very little pain. Now, a little over 3 months later, my ankle is completely pain free and I am walking so much better. I am very glad I went ahead with the surgery and thankful to Dr. Cammack for his ability as a surgeon. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone considering this procedure.
