Patient Testimonials

Doc (Dr. Conner) and his team have given me the opportunity to once again enjoy doing the activities I love to do. Since my total knee replacement surgery and all important exercise & PT sessions this spring, I have been able to enjoy the following activities: an Alaskan cruise that included hiking in Denali National Park, a trip to Niagara Falls that included a side trip to the Air Force Museum in Dayton OH, and a southwestern travel vacation through the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley. In addition, I have also been able to once again perform routine maintenance tasks at home and at the cabin. In fact, with the help of my son, I was even able to install a metal roof on the cabin this summer. Without the help of Dr. Conner, all of the items I mentioned would still be on my bucket list.

If you’re having trouble doing the things that you love to do, then come on in and let the Twin Cities Orthopedics team get you going again.

I didn’t realize I hit the jackpot when I first met Dr. Conner ten years ago, but I certainly know it now. If you’re looking for the best orthopedic surgeon in the Twin Cities area, you’ve found him. I’ve been around a long time, met a lot of doctors in my many years, there has been only one other man who had my confidence as Dr. Conner does – and his care coordinator Shawn is the greatest. She will go the extra mile for you whenever you need her. I would really enjoy sharing him with you.

Highly recommend Dr. Conner and all staff at TCO. He was very professional and easy to talk to. He answered all my questions thoroughly. I felt very comfortable under his care for both of my knee surgeries.

I was referred to Dr. Conner by my primary care physician. I had a very painful medial meniscal tear in my knee. I had waited over two months to have my surgery done because it was summer and I thought it would interfere with my plans. Had I known how quickly I would be back to normal activity, I would have done it sooner. Dr. Conner was excellent from the start.

I had my exam, radiographs and MRI done, and was diagnosed with a medial meniscal tear. I had surgery on a Friday and was able to return to work on Monday. I planned to “take it easy” for the first week, but was actually able to return to normal without missing any work at all! I had one day post surgery that was uncomfortable, but have not looked back since. Three weeks post surgery, I spent a week in Arizona hiking. It’s my fourth week post surgery and I started horseback riding and yoga again! I am thrilled with my surgical results! I highly recommend Dr. Conner and his team.

In a consultation, it was determined that I needed a reverse total right shoulder replacement. I have never heard of this procedure and was quite apprehensive. The very personable Dr. Conner and Shawn, his care coordinator, were very reassuring regarding the surgery, rehab, and recovery. And it all went as smoothly as they had predicted. I’m very thankful for Dr. Conner’s surgical skill and for the excellent follow-up care by the rehab staff. I have now regained nearly full range of motion and strength in that shoulder and arm with no pain.

Dr. Conner has replaced both a knee and a hip for me with no problems whatsoever. He listened to my concerns, offered options for treatment from least invasive to total replacement, and proceeded with my requests. I will be back for another hip replacement with all the confidence in a successful procedure.

Dr. Thomas Conner did a total knee replacement for me in May 2018. I approached him with many concerns, metal allergies, etc. There was no need to worry. Dr. Conner and his patient care coordinator, Shawn, did a wonderful job coordinating everything in getting me through the whole procedure. Every question was answered and every concern addressed, from use of drugs to getting off them, physical therapy schedule to follow up appointments to make sure all was going well. You know you are #1 priority when all is said and done. With great appreciation!

Dr. Conner and his staff are great! Respectful, empathetic, friendly and very knowledgeable. His staff treated me with gentle care. I have recommended TCO to anyone who needed help. Love you Dr. Conner, but I hope I don’t want to see you again. Trying to keep my body health!

Dr. Conner understood my concerns about my shoulder replacement surgery prior to the procedure. He answered any questions I had about the procedure and the healing process and any questions I had after surgery. He showed me my post-op pictures and my healing process went well and I had no pain after surgery from day 2 post-op.

I had a very good experience with Dr. Conner. Scheduled for procedure and follow up appointments in a timely manner for dates and times that worked for my schedule. Everyone was very courteous and thoroughly explained procedures.
