Patient Testimonials

I am so happy I was set up with Dr. Andrew Ockuly for both of my hip replacements. His bedside manner is very polite and calming. My husband really appreciated how open and truthful he was about the risks, benefits, and outcomes. My hips feel amazing and I am so glad my pain is finally gone after two years of living with a limp. My scars have healed beautifully. I highly recommend Dr. Ockuly!

I highly recommend Dr. Hartigan and his staff! I have seen him over the past 2-3 years for hip pain. His kindness, expertise, and professionalism are outstanding. He always took the time to listen. He made sure all my questions were answered and I was comfortable with the treatment plan. You are in great hands with Dr. Hartigan!

I couldn’t be more pleased with my total hip replacement surgery. I was informed on what to expect from the start and the surgery itself went flawlessly. I am six weeks into recovery and I feel great! I would highly recommend Dr. Nessler and his team at TCO!

Dr. Christopher LaPrade was an excellent listener. He communicated issues and options clearly. He gave clear follow-up directions and offered a variety of ways to communicate with him about my progress and future options.

My experience with rotator cuff repair has been exceptional from start to finish, thanks to the incredible team of Dr. Jason Barry, Peggy Schnobrich, Rebecca Munson, and Jarred Frisk. What could have been a long, intimidating recovery instead became a smooth, confidence-building journey because of their skill, communication, and genuine care.

Dr. Barry performed my surgery with remarkable precision and professionalism. He took the time to explain the procedure, set clear expectations, and made me feel completely at ease. His expertise is evident not only in the operating room but in the steady, reliable progress I have made since the surgery.

Peggy Schnobrich, my CRNA, played a crucial role in making the surgical experience as smooth and stress-free as possible. Her reassuring presence, attention to detail, and ability to put me at ease before anesthesia made a world of difference. I felt safe, informed, and genuinely cared for in her hands.

Rebecca Munson, PA, has been an outstanding partner throughout the process. Her calm, reassuring presence and thorough follow-up care made every appointment feel productive and supportive. She answered questions before I even had to ask them and she always made sure I understood each step of recovery.

Jarred Frisk, my physical therapist, has been instrumental in getting my shoulder back to top strength and mobility. Jarred brings a rare mix of technical knowledge, patience, and encouragement. He tailors each session to my progress, celebrates milestones big and small, and pushes me just the right amount to keep improving.

Together, this team turned a major surgery into a genuinely positive experience. I am healing better and faster than I ever expected. I am deeply grateful for their dedication. I couldn’t recommend Dr. Barry, Rebecca Munson, and Jarred Frisk more highly.

A little over a year ago, I suffered a freak accident where I lost part of my index finger. I had an emergency surgery to re-attach it. I was not in my hometown, and I was told to check-in with a surgeon when I got back. This is where I met Dr. Fischer. After examination and an X-ray, it was clear that the re-attachment did not take. I was then scheduled for amputation surgery.

I have never experienced anything like this in my life. I am an artist and the thought of losing part of my finger on my dominant hand terrified me. On the day of the surgery, I felt very anxious and scared. Dr. Fischer was very kind. He truly spent the time to talk to me and reassure me. Once I was wheeled into the surgical room, his whole team was there for me. They joked with me, made me feel comfortable, and they cared for me to help ease my stress. I think I even laughed a few times! It has been a journey since that day, and I still can’t thank them enough for all the care and support they provided. Thank you, Dr. Fischer and team!

My entire experience at Twin Cities Orthopedics with Dr. Dwivedi was incredible. I am very happy with my journey. My recovery is going fantastic and my hand is doing very well. Everything was explained thoroughly. I would highly recommend!

It was supposed to be nothing more than a quick ride to the store, but a small crack in the sidewalk changed everything. I went down, and just like that, plans for basketball, boating and endless outdoor fun were put on hold.

I broke my radius and dislocated my ulna, which led to a long night in the emergency room. They coordinated with Twin Cities Orthopedics and shared my case with Dr. Amy Moeller, who had treated me earlier that spring for a basketball-related thumb injury. By the next morning, Dr. Moeller’s team had reached out, and surgery was scheduled for the following day.

What followed was not just recovery. It was a mental and physical grind.

1,630 hours watching practices from the sidelines. 5,000 right-hand-only shots. 540 minutes of one-on-one, controlled basketball training. 350 minutes of right-hand-only ball handling. 12 physical therapy appointments.

After 97 mentally and physically exhausting days, I was finally given the green light to play basketball again, fully, freely and without restrictions. There were days I asked, ‘Why me? Will I ever get back?’ With the incredible support of the staff at TCO and everyone around me, I kept pushing.

All of that work paid off. In my first game back, I scored 14 points. That moment did not happen alone. It was made possible by the incredible care from Dr. Moeller and her team, the TCO hand therapy staff, and an unwavering network of family, trainers, coaches, teammates and friends.

What started as a simple summer outing became a powerful reminder of resilience, faith, and just how much heart it takes to fight your way back to the court.

I have had 23 surgeries in my life and Dr. Seybold is the best surgeon of them all. Ten months ago, I had a surgery on my right foot and toe that went wrong by another surgeon at another clinic. I ended up in the emergency room, and they referred me to Dr. Seybold. They said he was the best and he truly is!

From the first visit, he was patient, kind, and empathetic to my pain. He spent a long time with me going over the issues from my first surgery. He didn’t judge me. He believed in my pain and discomfort as it was excruciating to deal with. He came up with a game plan, and I have had two surgeries to correct the first surgery from a different surgeon.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Seybold. I wish he worked on all parts of the body, because I don’t ever want another surgeon. Thank you to Dr. Seybold, Valerie, and the rest of his team. You have made a bad situation so much better!

Dr. Dwivedi is a great guy, and he did an excellent job explaining things to me. The recovery from my endoscopic carpal tunnel release is going great. I have no pain at all. I highly recommend Dr. Dwivedi!
