Patient Testimonials

My 11 year-old daughter was recently seen by Dr. Wulf after a soccer injury to her knee. We went to Dr. Wulf because my nephew had seen him several years ago for knee surgery and I had Dr. Wulf perform microfracture surgery on my knee as well.

Dr. Wulf quickly diagnosed her with a contusion on her knee and a mild ACL sprain. He was exceptionally understanding of her athletic nature and desire to safely get back to playing as soon as possible. He was wonderful to work with and connected well with my young daughter.

If you are unlucky enough to have to have a family knee doctor, Dr. Wulf is a great choice.

Thank you Dr. Wulf!

I returned home this morning from my right hip replacement done by Dr. Brian O’Neill yesterday morning. Having already filled out a survey for the entire program and given it high marks in all regards, I felt I needed to give an additional shout out to my Excel nurses, in particular Ashley. 

She is an amazing combination of encouragement, calm and concern. She could handle the “business at hand” and also some light-hearted conversation. She met my wife and daughters who also were impressed with her. She is a definite asset to your program.

Many thanks to all involved in the program, and especially to Ashley, for making my experience a truly awesome one!

Dr. Coetzee repaired my broken ankle in February. He and his team did a remarkable job! Once I was able to permanently remove the fashionable air cast, I progressed to physical therapy with Craig Ringsven. How fortunate for me to have both Dr. Coetzee and Craig on my team! Craig was phenomenal. While I understand “this is what they are trained to do”, Craig would modify a particular technique to adapt to my strength at the time, following surgery. His demeanor is kind; he gets along well with his co-workers. Anyone looking for an all-around wonderful Physical Therapist, ask to be scheduled with Craig Ringsven! You will be glad you did! Thank you, Twin Cities Orthopedics!

After a hockey injury left her with chronic knee pain, Rebecca sought treatment with Dr. Nicholas Holmes of Twin Cities Orthopedics. She underwent a PRP (plasma-rich platelet) injection and was able to recover from her pain completely. As Rebecca puts it, “Twin Cities Orthopedics took my pain away.”

January 22nd, 2014 I had my right hip replaced. Dr. Peterson did a perfect surgery. I healed fast and was up walking the same day! Went to PT and OT and they went great. All my visits with Dr. Peterson were great. I recovered perfectly and it is all because of the care I got from Dr. Peterson. He is a wonderful surgeon and he is totally devoted to his profession. He is one of the greatest surgeons I have ever known and I think the world of him. I had my yearly check up in February and all is well.

Dr. Deal is fantastic! I was referred to him after an MRI indicated a herniated disc in my C5/C6 area and non-surgical procedures failed to alleviate the pain that radiated down my right arm.

During our first visit, he was patient enough to walk me through my options, his recommendation (Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion), and the specifics of what all of that entailed… and he did it in a way that was easy to understand! It’s obvious that he is thoughtful in his practice and genuinely cares about his patients. Though he was patient enough to answer all of my questions during that visit, I think he realized I was anxious about the procedure and he personally returned a message with some additional questions I had left for his care coordinator. I thought that was pretty amazing and he has demonstrated that patience and commitment to my care in the post-op recovery visits as well.

I underwent the ACDF surgery in March 2016 and had immediate pain relief. I’m so grateful for Dr. Deal’s care and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of an orthopedic spine surgeon!

This is the guy to go to. No kidding, he has helped me a lot, my knees and my hips are worn out. Next step will probably be surgery and Dr. Hunt is the guy to take care of me.

Cannot say a bad thing. I have had Dr. Meyer for several things and I will only have him. He is so kind and friendly. The whole staff is super great. The facility is unbelievable. Did not want to leave. Beautiful, cozy and so huge of a room.

I found the hip replacement to be a very worthwhile surgery, and the EXCEL Program has produced one of the best recoveries I have ever experienced.

* Jeffrey had a total hip replacement with Dr. Anseth and was a participant in TCO’s EXCEL Program.

I felt comfortable throughout the process and procedure. I had complete confidence that I was going to feel better after recovery, and in fact, I did. Could not recommend Dr. Arthur more highly.
