Patient Testimonials

When I first met with Dr. Ridley, I had been having hip pain for at least 6 years. I tried hip injections, physical therapy, BioFreeze, etc., but nothing really helped that much. When Dr. Ridley offered me hip replacement surgery, I jumped at the change. I like to be active with my family and I was no longer able to physically do the things we wanted to do as a family without extreme pain. I was nervous before surgery, but everything went well, and I am so glad I got the surgery. I walked over 9 miles the other day (about 5 months post-surgery), and still no pain. I am so grateful for Dr. Ridley helping me get my life back. I now go for hikes, play outside sports with my kids and live life fully again.

I was a patient of Dr. Sufka at another location. He is very thorough and takes his time discussing your issues. He is very gentle with injections, including the ones he performed in my shoulder joints. I will definitely see him again!

Dr. Bloom is the “real deal!” He listens, he validates, he teaches and a long-term plan is developed by the time you leave his office. His kindness and understanding surrounds his patients and you immediately believe he won’t give up on you.

Dr. Nessler did my hip replacement soon after I saw him and it is wonderful. I can walk with no pain. Thank you, Dr. Nessler!

It’s been exactly 2 years, but I am more grateful every day for having chosen Dr. Meyer and his staff. Dr. Meyer is recognized as a highly skilled and conscientious physician. His serious, yet caring approach, as well as saying, “YOU tell ME when you’re ready,” gave me the confidence to move ahead, and the appreciation for having done so.

Dr. Bircher did an amazing job to fix my original hip replacement that left me with an uneven leg and fractured femur. His expertise corrected the leg length and gave me a stable implant. He is an excellent surgeon that cares about his patients! His whole team is fabulous!

I had a knee replacement in Michigan in 2012. About 6 years later I began experiencing pain and had an X-ray which showed loosening of the prosthesis. Foolishly, I let it go, moved to Minnesota, and limped along. Finally in 2023, I consulted Dr. Bircher who discovered my prosthesis was literally hanging by a thread. He explained all the risks of surgery as well as the advantages, and he performed the operation in October 2023. The results have been fantastic. I was in an immobilizing soft cast for 3 weeks but already walking with a walker within days of the surgery. I have had no pain. I have been doing home therapy and outpatient therapy at the excellent TCO facility in Plymouth. I have a new lease on life. Dr. Bircher is a compassionate surgeon with tremendous experience and I can recommend him highly. You cannot go wrong with Dr. Bircher.

Dr. Dwivedi was very straight forward with diagnosing my injury and the severity of it. He thoroughly explained the options I had and I chose surgery. I am currently 10 days post-surgery and my hand is healing very fast! I’ve had no complications and he has guided me through the steps required to heal the fastest, which I am doing. He is an excellent surgeon and a great guy, so I highly recommend him.

I am so happy with my third total knee replacement! I could not straighten my knee for 20 years. I had pain and swelling and had to have it aspirated every 3-4 months. I can now bend my knee and straighten it fully. I’m totally amazed of the outcome. Thank you, Dr. Nessler and team!

I just want to thank Dr. Nessler and his team for giving me my life back. I walked in severe pain for two years and I suffered two huge losses this year, my wife and a daughter. I wanted to give up but Dr. Nessler did a wonderful job and I’m able to walk without pain. He gave me a new outlook on life. Thank you so much.
