Patient Testimonials

Our son broke his hook of hamate in his wrist while playing baseball. He was heartbroken that he was injured during his freshman year and his first collegiate baseball season. Dr. Dwivedi got him scheduled fast and was very thorough. His team was very kind and had superb bedside manner. Now, our boy is already back on the baseball field feeling strong. Thank you so much for making our families experience a very positive one!

Dr. Dwivedi did a great job reconstructing my thumb. I am back in action playing golf and having fun.

I had open carpal tunnel release surgery done on both wrists with Dr. Dwivedi, and I couldn’t be more pleased. I am feeling good and my grip strength is almost back to 100%. I no longer have any symptoms of tingling or numbness, and I can do everything I used do. I am so glad I had this done!

I would absolutely recommend Dr. Dwivedi to anyone looking to have surgery. He and his staff were extremely competent and took excellent care of me from beginning to end. Everything was very clear and I knew I was in good hands. His clinical assistant was wonderful and worked extremely well alongside Dr. Dwivedi during my procedure. I found their banter very reassuring and entertaining. Thank you to Dr. Dwivedi and his team!

What can I say! I absolutely recommend Dr. Olmsted! He is thorough, kind, and an excellent surgeon. Matt Anderson, his assistant, is also top notch! I had surgeries on both wrists within a year apart and I couldn’t be happier. Dr. Olmsted’s best advice was for me to “slow down” in my recovery. He is serious but there is a definite sense of humor in this sweet man!

Dr. Butterfield is amazing! I have an ASD child that broke his wrist. No doctor would listen to me regarding pain management for my son except Dr. Butterfield! I felt like he was the only one that truly listened to what I had to say! He was so great with my son, and words cannot express how grateful I am for the care we received from him! Thank you!

I had bilateral endoscopic carpal tunnel surgery with Dr. Dwivedi and was very pleased! Everything went great both times. He explained things very well, so I knew exactly what to expect. Dr. Dwivedi is a very good doctor, and I would absolutely recommend him to others!

I had a mass removed from my wrist with Dr. Dwivedi and had a very positive experience. Everything with my healing and recovery is going as expected. I would highly recommend him to others!

I had a bilateral carpal tunnel release surgery with Dr. Dwivedi and I am very pleased. Dr. Dwivedi was straight forward and provided me with all the information I needed for surgery and my recovery. He was very upfront about the extent of my damage and what I could expect during my recovery. My healing is going well and just as I expected. My wife was also very happy with her conversations with Dr. Dwivedi. He is a very cordial gentleman. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing orthopedic hand care!

I had trigger finger surgery with Dr. Dwivedi and everything was fantastic. I am very thankful! I can use my hand and fingers again. Overall, I am very pleased.

I have been heavily involved in Minnesota Special Olympics since I was eight years old and now, I will be turning 30 this month. Last fall, I sprained my ankle at flag football practice. I knew right away that I injured my ankle, so my dad took me to the ER. They did an X-ray and said it wasn’t broken but referred me to Twin Cities Orthopedics. The doctor at TCO Maple Grove ordered an MRI and said it was a bad sprain. I was put in a boot and eventually an ankle brace. The doctor ordered weekly physical therapy which I continued for several weeks. Unfortunately, I was unable to return to flag football that season. I met with the doctor again to check progress, and he continued the PT for a few more weeks just to be make sure everything was fully healed. I was given the go ahead to play but told to go slow.

I am part of Osseo-Maple Grove Athletic Association (OMGAA) teams and play ice hockey with Minnesota Special Hockey. A few weeks into this past season I also took a fall on the ice and injured my hand! I again went to TCO Maple Grove where they did another X-ray, and I was given a brace to wear on wrist. I was still having pain issues, so I returned to TCO and saw a doctor in the hand specialist clinic. He ordered an ultrasound of my wrist, and I have a follow-up appointment with him this week.

I also do gymnastics for MN Special Olympics. Three weeks ago, I injured my back at practice doing the vault. After a week, I was still having a lot of back and leg pain, so I went to TCO again. The doctor ordered an ultrasound of my back, and the results were a herniated disc. I start PT for my back this week. He also ordered a cortisone shot for my spine so I will likely be out from basketball and gymnastics for the season.

During this time, I will work on strengthening my body parts! In addition to playing several sports with MN Special Olympics, I also coach my sister’s bocce ball team in the summer. I have been chosen as an athletic coach for bocce at the USA games that will be held in Minnesota this summer. I am very excited! I went to Seattle in 2018 for the USA games and competed in gymnastics where I came home with five medals. I also was a part of the USA games in Orlando in 2022 for half court women’s basketball. We won a gold medal! I have always felt very supported at TCO and listened to by doctors and therapists. They always thoroughly explain at home exercises and are very clear on when I can return to sports. I am sure with all the sports I play that I will be back to TCO in the future!
