Patient Testimonials

Dr. Michael Nemanich and his team (Josh, Sarah, Jenna) far exceeded my expectations. Through three years of conservative treatment for an arthritic knee and subsequent total knee replacement, I was always treated with respect and caring, offered options, and included in my treatment plan.

My surgery, hospitalization, and therapy were seamless and successful. I am grateful to be pain-free and active thanks to my surgeon’s expertise and experience.

If you are considering a knee replacement and are seeking a skilled and compassionate surgeon, Dr. Michael Nemanich is the perfect choice.

After meeting with Dr. Conner to discuss knee replacement I felt very comfortable. Dr. Conner took the time to explain the procedure and what to expect after surgery. Dr. Conner’s patient coordinator Shawn is the best. I had the surgery November 2, 2018 and nine weeks later I’m in Hawaii walking 6-8 miles a day even hiking across lava flows pain free. Thank you Dr. Conner for helping me do the things I enjoy.

Couldn’t ask for a better team. I would recommend Dr. Peter Sanders and his PA, Matthew Bennett, to anyone.

I recently had a total knee replacement through Twin Cities Orthopedic and the EXCEL Surgery & Recovery program. My surgeon was Dr. Zachary Arntson, I could not be any happier with the results. I was so scared to do this surgery but it had to be done. I could not walk without being in a lot of pain. Dr. Arntson was compassionate, very informative and really listened to my concerns. After 5 weeks I am going back to work, It feels so good to be able to walk without pain. If you are thinking about doing a surgery soon I highly recommend meeting with Dr. Arntson you will not be disappointed.

I am able to feel less stress because the new knee feels good. I enjoy golfing and I am able to play as often as I want/can. A better quality of life for sure. Thank you TCO and Dr. Meyer.

After research, I made an appointment with Dr. Owen O’Neill for a consult regarding a knee replacement. After my first visit, I knew he was the one I wanted to perform the surgery. He took the time to go over and explain the x-rays; he used the model of the knee to explain the procedure and even though he had a long waiting list, we scheduled the surgery and I am glad I did. The whole process through TCO was excellent. From the staff at the Crosstown Surgery Center in Edina, to the follow up care at Aurora, to Dr. O’Neill’s care coordinator, Ann. They made sure I was aware of everything before and after my surgery and were there to answer any questions I had about the process and my recovery. I highly recommend Dr. Owen O’Neill and will use him again for any future orthopedic needs.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Lewis and his staff! I’ve had very painful elbow and knee conditions that were addressed with the most conservative care practices first — both of which were highly successful. I’ve been to doctors who go right to surgical options first, but Dr. Lewis guided me to cortisone, physical therapy, and ergonomic solutions that worked wonders. Not only that, he seems genuinely interested in me and has a very kind and reassuring manner.

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.

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.
