Patient Testimonials

Dr. Bhatt and her care team are amazing! I initially went to see her for trigger finger care on my right hand. I shared concerns about numbness and tingling in my hands and she sent me to get testing right away. We determined that my ulnar nerve in both elbows was transposed in addition to having carpel tunnel in both my hands. We scheduled surgery on my left arm first. It was a seamless process from getting through pre-op and surgery. All team members were extremely helpful and friendly. I got the splint and stitches removed after two weeks. Dr. Bhatt even made an effort to go around my tattoos! My right arm is scheduled to be done next month. I highly recommend Dr. Bhatt and her team! They are the best!

I am back on my gravel and mountain bikes again! I am now riding the distances I would go before any of my issues started, which exceeded where I expected to be last December. The MRIs of both knees showed meniscal tearing and cartilage loss. At the time, I had no idea whether racing was still on the table. Twin Cities Orthopedics put me on a non-surgical path with Jill Monson, and that turned out to be the right call.

Jill understood my goals and clearly explained the mechanics of how to rehabilitate my knee. She pinpointed the range of motion where my cartilage loss was causing pain, then built a program that loaded everything around it. She adjusted whenever an exercise provoked symptom. Eight months of that work got me back to riding and racing without pain. If you’re an athlete trying to stay active on a knee that isn’t cooperating, ask for Jill.

I can’t speak highly enough about my experience with Dr. Langer. He was extremely personable, knowledgeable, patient, and kind. He also was optimistic about a solution for my foot pain after I had previously been dismissed by a different doctor outside TCO. Although he was running behind, he not only apologized for being late, but he also thanked us for waiting for him. He handled the situation apologetically but also with gratitude which made us feel respected. As a health care provider, I feel he is an excellent role model for what we should strive for in all patient interactions. I will be recommending him to any and all.

We cannot say enough about Dr. Bircher, his team, and the entire TCO staff. From pre-op to physical therapy, they were very professional and had wonderful bedside manners. It was very comforting! We always felt like we were in great hands. We would highly recommend Dr. Bircher and his team to others!

Dr. Vanden Berge and his staff were great. They set my mind at ease immediately during pre-op and before the surgery. Dr. Vanden Berge explained what I could expect before, during, and after surgery. It has been less than three weeks since the surgery and my pain is already feeling much better. My mobility is better than it has been in years. I would highly recommend Dr. Vanden Berge to others.

Today is the 3-year anniversary of my shoulder replacement performed by Dr. Gulli. I put off the surgery for two years thinking it would not help or maybe make my issue worse. I would sleep maybe three hours a night and experience extreme pain if I accidentally rolled on it. After trying a couple of cortisone shots that weren’t effective, I had the full shoulder replacement he recommended. Today, I have no pain, can sleep through the night, and have full use with that arm again. I thought of Dr. Gulli today. I remembered how great they did in helping me get to where I’m at today. Thank you again to Dr. Gulli and his team.

I started seeing Brook about a month ago, and she quickly identified the tightest muscles in my right shoulder. It has been amazing working with her! She knows exactly what she’s doing, and how to free up my super tight scalene muscles with massage therapy. I trust her 100% and I will be using her services more often throughout the year. Not only is she an awesome human being, but she’s extremely knowledgeable with helping me manage my neck pain. I highly recommend her!

The care I received at Twin Cities Orthopedics has been excellent! Dr. Meyer, his team, and everyone I encountered were incredibly kind and patient. From Chaska hospital to physical therapy at the TCO Waconia clinic, I feel so fortunate to have had those teams take care of me.

My experience with Dr. O’Neill and his staff have been a wonderful story. I limped into his office with a cane after enduring a year of excruciating pain, physical therapy, and chiropractic care. My active life had come to a halt. Dr. O’Neill diagnosed my hip arthritis, and we scheduled a right total hip replacement with an anterior approach. I woke up in the recovery room free of hip and sciatica pain that had plagued me for 12 months. After six weeks, I stopped using any walking aids and was able to walk without a limp. I am a retired operating room nurse and never expected such a quick and complete recovery. Dr. O’Neill and his team are fabulous and professional. I highly recommend him to everyone so they can get their life back on track.

In 2008, while golfing, I fell to the ground after taking a swing. I had put a hole in my kneecap, and Dr. Hartman installed a titanium plug. Now, in 2026, I am 72 years old. I am still golfing pain-free and enjoying retirement in Arizona. A big thank you to Dr. Hartman and his team.
