Patient Testimonials

My total knee replacement surgeries were 9 and 3 years ago. I am very satisfied with both. I would definitely recommend Dr. Meyer and his team.

I have had a bad ankle for about 25, 30 years. The best decision I’ve ever made in my life was to pick TCO to do my ankle replacement, and it has changed my life forever. If there are any people that are considering this sort of surgery, there is one thing that I will tell you: Go to TCO. Go to TCO. This procedure that I’ve had has really given me a comeback in life.

Dr. Kirksson did a great job in explaining the process and options. Great results too.

After three years or so with a bad hip, I was referred to TCO and Dr. O’Neill. He and his team are exceptional. Options are presented in a factual, yet very personal manner, but at the end of the day, you, as the patient/client must decide what option to choose. This is the most honest, ethical and professional consultation I have ever experienced. The minimally-invasive surgery on my hip performed by Dr. O’Neill was pain-free from surgery through my 6-weeks post-op appointment. Dr. O’Neill and his team of Ann, Jessie, Isabel and Kayla are exceptional from first appointment to complete follow up.

Extremely happy with the care I received from Dr. Lewis and the entire staff at Twin Cities Orthopedics. Five stars all around! From the receptionist, to the nurses, to the doctor and especially to “Libby” (Dr. Lewis right hand women), I felt in great and confident hands. I run a small business and understand good service, and would strongly recommend this kind and qualified group of medical staff.

I had a big fall rock climbing and fractured my ankle in multiple places along with severing part of a tendon. After a year of healing things still weren’t right and I went to see Dr. Holthusen. He completed the surgery and the staff was amazing. They are very attentive to patients and genuinely care about your health.

I received care at TCO for my carpal tunnel. Dr. Koch did the surgery on me and everything went very well! Their surgery center is awesome! I did my post surgery physical therapy at TCO as well. Everyone that I dealt with was very kind and also very knowledgeable! Everyone made each visit a pleasant one!

The summer of 2017 I did yard work and gardening with unbelievable pain. I was a very miserable 76 year old woman. On October 3^rd, Dr. Owen O’Neill and Jessie performed minimal anterior hip replacement surgery. The next day I left the hospital and walked into my house using the handrail to take three steps. Two days later, the walker and cane were put in storage because I didn’t need them. Tylenol was used for pain relief for the week following surgery just so I could sleep better. One week after surgery I drove to the grocery store and did several errands. Six weeks after surgery, I enjoyed an eleven day Panama Canal Cruise, walking to islands or from one end of the ship to the other on sea days. I ate lots of food but lost five pounds because I was so active.

Other positive results after surgery:
– My replaced hip feels like my original but pain free.
– I now sleep six or seven hours a night instead of three or four.
– People say I now look happy but before surgery I had a painful look.

Anterior Approach Hip Replacement January 2017:  I met with Dr. O’Neill in regard to hip pain. The pain was causing me to be unable to play tennis and I was trying to manage pain during everyday activities such as going up/down stair, getting out of the car, etc. Once we determined the pain was starting to interfere with my lifestyle at the age of 52, Dr. O’Neill recommended hip replacement surgery. NO REGRETS!! Since no muscle is torn in this procedure, my recovery time was excellent. I stayed over one night in a rehab center, went home, was on pain medication for several days and then was able to manage pain with Tylenol and Advil. I did not require a walker for more than one day, was able to use a cane 2 days after surgery, go upstairs, and get in/out of a car. My pain prior to surgery was GONE! Amazingly, 7 short weeks after surgery I was back playing tennis. My coach and team could not believe the difference in my mobility. After watching me limp around and hop on one foot for over a year, I was back to playing tennis with no limitations! Dr. O’Neill and his staff at TCO were a pleasure to work with. I felt well prepared on what to expect going into surgery and was simply amazed and pleased with my recovery time post-surgery. I have talked to other hip replacement patients and realize how fortunate I was to find Dr. O’Neill and the staff at TCO. To have someone perform the surgery on my hip with as much experience and expertise as Dr. O’Neill was truly a blessing. The care I was given before, during, and after surgery has been truly exceptional. I will be forever grateful to Dr. O’Neill, his staff and TCO. Should I need any type of orthopedic assistance in the future, rest assured I will go to TCO!

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!
