Patient Testimonials

My experience with rotator cuff repair has been exceptional from start to finish, thanks to the incredible team of Dr. Jason Barry, Peggy Schnobrich, Rebecca Munson, and Jarred Frisk. What could have been a long, intimidating recovery instead became a smooth, confidence-building journey because of their skill, communication, and genuine care.

Dr. Barry performed my surgery with remarkable precision and professionalism. He took the time to explain the procedure, set clear expectations, and made me feel completely at ease. His expertise is evident not only in the operating room but in the steady, reliable progress I have made since the surgery.

Peggy Schnobrich, my CRNA, played a crucial role in making the surgical experience as smooth and stress-free as possible. Her reassuring presence, attention to detail, and ability to put me at ease before anesthesia made a world of difference. I felt safe, informed, and genuinely cared for in her hands.

Rebecca Munson, PA, has been an outstanding partner throughout the process. Her calm, reassuring presence and thorough follow-up care made every appointment feel productive and supportive. She answered questions before I even had to ask them and she always made sure I understood each step of recovery.

Jarred Frisk, my physical therapist, has been instrumental in getting my shoulder back to top strength and mobility. Jarred brings a rare mix of technical knowledge, patience, and encouragement. He tailors each session to my progress, celebrates milestones big and small, and pushes me just the right amount to keep improving.

Together, this team turned a major surgery into a genuinely positive experience. I am healing better and faster than I ever expected. I am deeply grateful for their dedication. I couldn’t recommend Dr. Barry, Rebecca Munson, and Jarred Frisk more highly.

A little over a year ago, I suffered a freak accident where I lost part of my index finger. I had an emergency surgery to re-attach it. I was not in my hometown, and I was told to check-in with a surgeon when I got back. This is where I met Dr. Fischer. After examination and an X-ray, it was clear that the re-attachment did not take. I was then scheduled for amputation surgery.

I have never experienced anything like this in my life. I am an artist and the thought of losing part of my finger on my dominant hand terrified me. On the day of the surgery, I felt very anxious and scared. Dr. Fischer was very kind. He truly spent the time to talk to me and reassure me. Once I was wheeled into the surgical room, his whole team was there for me. They joked with me, made me feel comfortable, and they cared for me to help ease my stress. I think I even laughed a few times! It has been a journey since that day, and I still can’t thank them enough for all the care and support they provided. Thank you, Dr. Fischer and team!

My entire experience at Twin Cities Orthopedics with Dr. Dwivedi was incredible. I am very happy with my journey. My recovery is going fantastic and my hand is doing very well. Everything was explained thoroughly. I would highly recommend!

It was supposed to be nothing more than a quick ride to the store, but a small crack in the sidewalk changed everything. I went down, and just like that, plans for basketball, boating and endless outdoor fun were put on hold.

I broke my radius and dislocated my ulna, which led to a long night in the emergency room. They coordinated with Twin Cities Orthopedics and shared my case with Dr. Amy Moeller, who had treated me earlier that spring for a basketball-related thumb injury. By the next morning, Dr. Moeller’s team had reached out, and surgery was scheduled for the following day.

What followed was not just recovery. It was a mental and physical grind.

1,630 hours watching practices from the sidelines. 5,000 right-hand-only shots. 540 minutes of one-on-one, controlled basketball training. 350 minutes of right-hand-only ball handling. 12 physical therapy appointments.

After 97 mentally and physically exhausting days, I was finally given the green light to play basketball again, fully, freely and without restrictions. There were days I asked, ‘Why me? Will I ever get back?’ With the incredible support of the staff at TCO and everyone around me, I kept pushing.

All of that work paid off. In my first game back, I scored 14 points. That moment did not happen alone. It was made possible by the incredible care from Dr. Moeller and her team, the TCO hand therapy staff, and an unwavering network of family, trainers, coaches, teammates and friends.

What started as a simple summer outing became a powerful reminder of resilience, faith, and just how much heart it takes to fight your way back to the court.

I have had 23 surgeries in my life and Dr. Seybold is the best surgeon of them all. Ten months ago, I had a surgery on my right foot and toe that went wrong by another surgeon at another clinic. I ended up in the emergency room, and they referred me to Dr. Seybold. They said he was the best and he truly is!

From the first visit, he was patient, kind, and empathetic to my pain. He spent a long time with me going over the issues from my first surgery. He didn’t judge me. He believed in my pain and discomfort as it was excruciating to deal with. He came up with a game plan, and I have had two surgeries to correct the first surgery from a different surgeon.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Seybold. I wish he worked on all parts of the body, because I don’t ever want another surgeon. Thank you to Dr. Seybold, Valerie, and the rest of his team. You have made a bad situation so much better!

Dr. Dwivedi is a great guy, and he did an excellent job explaining things to me. The recovery from my endoscopic carpal tunnel release is going great. I have no pain at all. I highly recommend Dr. Dwivedi!

Dr. Comfort and his team did an exemplary job repairing a complicated bucket-handle meniscus tear on my right knee. Having had previous injuries and surgeries with this knee, it was vital for me to have a top-tier surgical team. Beginning with the initial consultation and continuing through post-operative care, the team exceeded my expectations. They took the time to understand my previous injuries, clearly explained options, and answered questions thoroughly providing both expertise and compassion. The surgery and recovery were seamless, and my knee functions better than I expected. I am extremely grateful for the skill, professionalism, and expertise provided. I highly recommend entrusting Dr. Comfort and team to treat complicated surgical needs.

I could not be happier with my hip replacement from Dr. Nessler at Twin Cities Orthopedics. From preparation, surgery, amenities, and recovery, I could not be happier. My already active lifestyle is more comfortable than it has ever been.

Twin Cities Orthopedics did a great job in preparing me for surgery. I had an amazing physical therapy, Fernando Espinosa, and my follow-up with Dr. Schmiesing went well. Each provider gave me personalized attention and my results were great!

I wanted to take a moment to share the exceptional care and professionalism I have received under the attentive care of Dan Silverberg. The United States Department of Veterans Affairs referred me to orthopedic care through the Office of Community Care because of my combat injuries that include my back, neck, stomach, shoulders, wrist, ankles, etc. My primary care doctor at the VA told me that I needed to try different modalities of care including orthopedics. Within ten visits at TCO, the severe pain I would normally experience has subsided. The large diastasis and associated bulge I would normally see has significantly reduced, and the pain I normally experience has lessened. While my disabilities are lifelong and I will never be completely healed, Dan has significantly helped me and I am very grateful.

I also work at the United States Department of Veterans Affairs where I was appointed by the president to lead finance and support to all of our clinics, hospitals, and veteran benefit programs. I have come across many skilled and committed professionals who dedicate their lives to helping people. I would put Dan Silverberg at the top of this list. If there are opportunities to train other physical therapists, I think he would be a fantastic choice to help Twin Cities Orthopedics lead from a place of excellence, experience, knowledge, and the art involved in this practice. Thank you for positively changing my life and allowing me to live a more full, enjoyable, and pain-free existence.
