Patient Testimonials

Dr. Randall and his team performed a TKR on my right knee. My experience with everyone involved was exceptional! One month later, I am pain free and enjoying a quality of life that I never expected to regain. Libby was easy to reach and very informative with any follow up questions I had. The rehab team was excellent, and they truly made a difference in my recovery. I highly recommend Dr. Lewis for total knee replacement.

I feel 20 years younger, and I can easily move around again. I was playing tennis two days after the surgery, and I felt great. I cannot say enough about how much better my quality of life is now!

We are so excited about the professional treatment my daughter received from Carly Mattson. My daughter experienced a concussion during a basketball game about a month prior to her first meeting with Carly. During that time, she would experience daily headaches with different intensity and duration.

Carly’s professional expertise served my daughter in several ways. First, Carly was able to recognize the symptoms as normal. This was psychologically comforting for my daughter as having daily headaches stemming from a concussion can be un-nerving. Most importantly, Carly was able to swiftly diagnose the cause of these symptoms with hands on exercises. She designed a treatment which strengthened my daughter’s eye coordination that had been affected by the collision, as well as her vestibular system.

After two sessions and practicing exercises daily, my daughter was no longer experiencing headaches. After four sessions, my daughter has been fully cleared. In fact, with these exercises, I believe my daughter’s eyes are working better together than they were pre-injury. Many, many thanks to Carly and TCO for their help.

Our experience at Twin Cities Orthopedics was exceptional from start to finish. The friendly and knowledgeable staff immediately put my son at ease, making what could have been an incredibly stressful situation much more manageable. The convenience of the facility’s location was a huge plus, allowing us to get there quickly and easily.

We were also impressed by the short wait times. We were seen promptly and efficiently. Most importantly, the care my son received was top-notch. Thanks to the expert treatment, he was able to get back to the things he loves much faster than we anticipated. We are incredibly grateful for the outstanding service and care provided by Twin Cities Orthopedics.

I have had the honor of being a patient of Dr. Michael Johnson while he was at the Mayo Clinic. I recently had a problem with my hip and met with him at TCO. He does a great job with patients. We learned a lot at our appointment.

I highly recommend Dr. Michael R. Johnson and his team to anyone considering hip replacement surgery. From my initial consultation through my post-operative physical therapy, my total hip replacement journey with Dr. Johnson has been a truly positive experience. Dr. Johnson is a skilled surgeon, and both he and his nurse Jen were always prompt and thorough in their communication. It made me feel supported and informed every step of the way. The EXCEL Surgery and Recovery program was invaluable to me. This comprehensive approach made a significant difference in my recovery. My physical therapist, Ashleigh Kratz, challenged me to succeed at my pace. She really listened and found good solutions to the couple of challenges I encountered. I am now enjoying a much-improved quality of life thanks to Dr. Johnson and his team. I’m so grateful for their excellent care!

I had a horrible fall that dislocated my shoulder, tore my rotator cuff, and fractured a bone. Dr. Schmiesing is an excellent surgeon and answered all my questions. His team is also great, and phone calls were returned very quickly. My shoulder is so much better. I highly recommend him.

I have lived with arthritis pain in my right thumb joint for many years, even with multiple painful cortisone injections. I decided to take the next step and contact Dr. Mark Fischer, a Hand Specialist at TCO. I had a great consultation with him. Dr. Fischer was very thorough about my options to get pain relief. Without question, my husband and I liked his solution to address my pain. He took the time to explain the procedure and all that it would entail from pre-surgery, post-surgery, and recovery. Immediately, Dr. Fisher made me feel confident that this was the right choice to eliminate my thumb pain.

On the day of my surgery, the staff were friendly, professional, and informative. No question was unanswered. Dr. Fisher’s surgery team came in to introduce themselves and explain their roles. Once sent home, I took only one prescribed pain pill. When the cast came off, I opted to take advantage of hand therapy. After two visits, I am back to feeling completely pain free with total mobility. Thank you TCO, Dr. Fisher, and Team!

I would like to thank Dr. Ockuly and his team for their excellent work on my knee. My recovery was much easier than I ever thought it would be. Their follow up appointments showed me how much they care about the patient. It feels so nice not to be in pain with every step. Thank you very much.

Dr. Mair and his excellent team made my surgery and recovery easy and comfortable. I was very impressed with the entire process, from the initial appointment with Dr. Mair and his staff to the recovery. He and his staff answered all my questions, so I was prepared and knew what to expect. I love being able to do all the activities I had been missing when my knees were so painful. Thank you, Dr. Mair, and your excellent team!
