Patient Testimonials

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.

*Larry was a participant in TCO’s Excel Program

Dr. Kelly and his team replaced my shoulder three months ago and it has been a game changing event for me as the pain and restless sleep was immediately rectified. He accurately predicted my condition degrading more than three months ahead of the surgery date. The team was amazing to work with, showing deep passion for their job and my care.

I am greatly blessed and fortunate to have access to the skilled talent and professional services Dr. Kelly and his staff provided me. I am looking forward to getting back to all my activities I have previously enjoyed.

I had pain in my left knee for many years. Cortisone shots gave only temporary relief and then the pain would return. My total knee replacement was done on February 11, 2016, and now I am pain free. I was able to return to my exercise classes in approximately three weeks. At my follow up visit with Dr. Peterson, I was told my healing was way ahead of schedule. I found Dr. Peterson to be compassionate, comforting, and an excellent surgeon. He truly cared about my overall well-being. I would recommend him to anyone facing total joint replacement.

I had my right knee done March 2nd, 2015, and my left knee March 7th, 2016, at the Maple Grove Hospital. It was a good experience. The whole staff was very caring and helpful in my speedy recovery. I had a positive attitude that everything was going to be okay. I am still doing my exercises daily. Thank you.

This is a wonderful program. Easy, simple and the perfect amount of one on one. Great at explaining everything from beginning to end.

*Linda was a participant in TCO’s EXCEL Program during her total knee replacement with Dr. Peter Sanders.

In October of 2014, I was rear-ended by a person who was distracted by his phone. Immediately I had neck and shoulder pain from the trauma. After months of treatment at Twin Cities Orthopedics on my shoulder, the pain continued and I was losing feeling in my right arm more frequently. After an MRI, I was diagnosed with a herniated disc in CS/C6 area of my cervical spine. I was referred to Dr. Deal for treatment. He spent a lot of time with me trying to avoid surgery (injections, physical therapy) but in the end surgery was needed. He worked within my schedule of upcoming international travel to get the surgery done and have me healed enough to travel.
Dr. Deal did a fantastic job with my surgery. I had instant pain relief from the surgery and needed very little pain medication. His staff and the nurses at the MN Valley Surgical Center were incredible. Dr. Deal spends the necessary time with you at all appointments to answer questions and also make sure that you are healing appropriately.
I would highly recommend him to anyone with Spine issues.

Due to a childhood disease (polio) I had developed 2 fingers where the middle joints would no longer bend, causing a loss of grip. Dr. McCarthy said she could help by fusing these joints in a bent position, so surgery was scheduled and performed.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Dr. McCarthy and the entire staff at TCO, including Sue Anderson, in therapy. The entire process was exceptional in every way and the folks involved couldn’t have been more accommodating. Great job guys!

I wanted to send a thank you to Dr. Lervick and his team on behalf of my son, Jordan. He had surgery in October to repair a torn labrum and with the great care and rehab provided by Dr. Lervick and staff, including the recommended PT, Paul Breyen, Jordan is back doing what he loves best, playing baseball! He is playing on the Freshman A-team at Burnsville and was the starting pitcher at the first game. We didn’t know if we would get to this point last fall, and we couldn’t be happier with the care and treatment he received to help him get to this point. Thanks again!

Dr. Marek and his team have given me reasons to “keep it all working!” I’ve had many surgeries with Dr. Dan and his team, and I’m forever grateful for their excellent care, encouragement and friendship. I have complete faith in him and feel truly blessed to call him my orthopedic doctor, Dr. Dan!
