Patient Testimonials

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Lewis and his team. He did two total knee replacements for me, three months apart. Everything went exceedingly well from the first appointment to the final appointment. I experienced good communication, along with friendly and helpful staff. My recovery with PT was fast and successful. At all times during the process, the staff was friendly & helpful. Dr. Lewis is friendly, funny, & kind. He is also amazingly prompt in updating health records so you know what is going on. I recommend Dr. Lewis, without reservations, to anyone needing knee surgery.

I had a total knee replacement with Dr. Saterbak in December, 2020 through the EXCEL Program and couldn’t have had a better experience! I was nervous going into my surgery in the middle of the COVID pandemic and that I couldn’t have my husband with me. I was taken such good care of at High Pointe and transferred to the Care Suites in Eagan. I was so hungry when I arrived at my suite and was thrilled to have a turkey sandwich and snacks waiting in my room! They were even able to get me a badly needed Diet Pepsi! They were so friendly and attentive that I felt I was in such good hands the entire time. I had a PT session soon after getting there and again the next morning. I strongly encourage anyone hesitating about this surgery to go to TCO and use the EXCEL Program. Everything was so organized and ran beautifully! My new knee is rocking and I feel great 6 weeks later!

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Owen O’Neill and his orthopedic team through the entire process. I had my surgery eight weeks ago and am doing very well. The severe pain that I had before the surgery is gone and I am back doing my normal activities with very minimal difficulty. If and when my other knee needs relief, I will not hesitate to have Dr. O’Neill do the surgery. I have total confidence in him and would highly recommend him to others.

From beginning to end, Dr. Arntson and his staff made me feel very comfortable about this surgery. At 6 weeks post-op, I am walking up and down stairs and about one mile outside. I would highly recommend Dr. Arntson and his staff. Physical Therapy was fantastic too!

I have only positive things to say about my experience. From the first appointment with Dr. Arntson, I felt like I made the best choice for my knee problems. The staff in the clinic were very kind and helpful. Dr. Arntson explained everything in detail to me and in such a way that my anxiety was taken away. The follow up visits were just as great and comforting as the pre-op visits. I truly recommend TCO for others having issues. I can’t thank Dr. Arntson and staff enough for making a positive change in my life. Thank you all!

Dr. O’Neill and his staff are highly skilled, efficient, and professional in all their work. I was very impressed from the start of my evaluation to the rehab process, after a total knee replacement. This is truly the “A” team!

First of all, I would like to thank everyone at TCO and the EXCEL program. I made a good choice to go with them. They are very nice and professional. With two knees, bone on bone, I could not move very well at all. I met with Dr. Owen O’Neill and needed surgery to replace my knees. Dr. O’Neill answered all of the questions that my wife and I had. He made us feel very comfortable, as did his TCO team. I would recommend Dr. O’Neill to everyone I talk to and I would recommend the surgery and therapy, if you want to get back on your feet and moving again. Now, after two knee replacements, I am feeling great and am moving around very well for the first time in years. I put it off so long and should have acted quicker. If you are in the same shape that I was, call TCO for a consult. TCO does everything from knees to hips, shoulders, etc. Thank you TCO and team!

Dr. Anseth did partial knee replacement surgery in 2018 on my left knee. Of the surgeons I checked out, only Dr. Anseth provided sensible options. He came highly recommended by a former patient. Then in November 2020, he did a partial knee replacement on my right knee. Now, I too, highly recommend Dr. Anseth! He is caring, genuine and a great surgeon. I am now pain-free. Also, special acknowledgement to his team members, Heidi and Jess. They were always reachable and solved whatever issue I had. I always felt secure and confident with Twin Cities Orthopedics and Dr. Anseth. Thank you to everyone!

My knee surgery went very well. I couldn’t believe how much faster I recovered with this knee surgery. Dr. Meyer was very professional, friendly, and efficient. I have recommended him to many people. I really liked him and his staff. They explained the procedure and were very helpful when I called with questions.

I have just recovered from my second knee replacement by Dr. Szalapski. I had such good results 8 years ago with my first surgery, that I elected to have the other knee done when doing all my usual activities became almost impossible without much discomfort. After 7 weeks, I am so good that I can’t believe it. I am going up and down stairs like a grown-up for the first time in over 2 years. I can do everything I use to do, but better. Having only one day in the hospital this time was okay. I had help at home for a few days but I was driving myself to PT one week later. I elected to not take any pain meds after the surgery so I didn’t have to recover from that either. Dr. Szalapski knows exactly what to do and my knee did not have staples or stitches this time, so that was also good. The scar has healed beautifully. Thank you to the fine team that cared for me, including Traci and Jessica.
