Patient Testimonials

Dr. Hartigan saw me for both knees and shoulder. He was impressive and had such a great way of communicating and putting me at ease. He helped me with an exercise program that brought my knees back to being able to hike and exercise again. He also ordered an injection for my shoulder that I haven’t had any further issue with. Thank you Dr. Hartigan for getting me back on my game!

I had my left knee done in February. I don’t think you could be treated any better! Dr. Peterson is a star and explained everything in a way a normal person could understand. Christine and Jenna in the office are the absolute nicest people you will ever meet. Molly the physician assistant is great too, I’m so glad I went to them! Christine is so well versed in her job. She is so thorough and dots every “I” and crosses every “T”. Thank you to the whole staff!

After an accident falling on my knee, Dr. Hunt knew almost immediately what the subsequent MRI was going to reveal, simply from physical examination and discussion of my symptoms. The MRI confirmed EXACTLY what he predicted, and what the meniscus repair surgery would entail. His explanations and recommendations were so clear and concise that my confidence in the procedure was total. After the surgery, by following the recommended rest/ice/elevate therapy for 2 days, my knee was totally pain-free and ready for gradual return to normal. I can’t imagine a better scenario and outcome than this one. Thank you Dr. Hunt!

A year ago on March 29, 2021 I broke the femur bone in my left leg. I have dealt with polio since I was a child, so I have severe disabilities relating to that disease. Because of polio and osteoporosis, my bones are quite soft and we weren’t sure if the break would heal properly. Dr. Ockuly performed surgery, adding a plate and pins in my leg. He advised me not to put any weight on it until he felt it was safe to do so. The break has healed and I’m able to walk again. Dr. Ockuly is very knowledgeable and competent. He followed my progress routinely and now, a year later, I’m doing great and getting around just fine. I highly recommend him if you have an injury that needs the attention of a highly qualified orthopedic doctor. He’s an all-around very caring and informative person. I told him I’m able to walk again because of him, and will forever be thankful for that.

The entire process was done with excellent communication and great care throughout. Physical therapy is a must. The highly trained staff crafted and executed a rehabilitation program that met and exceeded my expectations. The counseling also relieved a lot of stress, when certain aches and pains were noted as a part of the typical healing process. They are an awesome group of very talented and thorough professionals. They communicate very well between the surgery team, the after care, and the therapy teams. The bonus is that the scar is hardly noticeable. I would highly recommend Twin Cities Orthopedics, Dr. Christopher Meyer, and team.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Simonet‘s 20 years or so.  Due to prednisone use to control colitis, the bones in my knees were damaged. My left knee was replaced 17 years ago and is still doing great. The right knee was replaced 5 years ago, and is also keeping up with good results. I’m currently dealing with a shoulder injury and have 100% confidence that Dr. Simonet will get me through this as well.

I would like to thank Dr. Christopher Meyer and team for the great job you have done on my left knee. Your excellent work is truly appreciated. At 6 weeks post-op, I am very pleased with the outcome. I still have work to do and certainly will accomplish that, since I want the best outcome I can get. You have all given me the opportunity to be better.

I want to thank Dr. Meyer’s PA, Sommer, who closed the incision. Thank you so much for your excellent work, it looks great. And I want to thank Dr. Meyer for his attention to detail. I believe it makes a difference. I know it takes a team and I am proud to be part of this team!! Thanks again for all you do, and not just for me but everyone you work with.

Several years ago, I developed severe degenerative knee joints, and I was unable to walk more than one block without severe swelling and knee pain. My active life as I knew it was ending. I sought the consultation of Twin Cities Orthopedics, and the care of Dr. Andrea Saterbak. She was caring and professional through her unique surgical talents, she replaced both of my knees.

TCO provided excellent physical therapy throughout my recovery. I was soon back bicking, but one of my dreams was to ski the American Birkebeiner, a 35 mile cross country ski race in northern Wisconsin. I am happy to say I finished the race this year. Many thanks to Dr. Saterbak and the entire team at TCO!

I thank everyone at TCO who helped me recover from my MCL injury. I am grateful that I am able to share my experience with others!

I had been having knee issues for years, starting with a meniscal tear and resulting in arthroscopic surgery twice. I was told that I would eventually need a knee replacement and when that time came Dr. Lewis came highly recommended. What a beautiful job he did with my knee. I’m 8 weeks post-op and delighted with the outcome. Thanks to Dr. Lewis and his PA, Libby.
