Patient Testimonials

I had trigger finger surgery with Dr. Dwivedi and things are going well. My finger is not locking up anymore and it feels much better. I can do yard work again! I keep up with the hand exercises I was shown. My whole experience was great. Dr. Dwivedi explained everything in detail and the nurses were phenomenal. TCO is the only place I go because they treat me well! I highly recommend Dr. Dwivedi and TCO!

I have been battling with lower back pain for years. Between urgent care visits, physical therapy, and other medical visits, my back finally said enough is enough. I couldn’t walk since the pain was so bad. I could hardly use the bathroom without being in excruciating pain. It was so bad that I would rather have gone through childbirth again; if you know, you know.

Dr. Green gave me my life back! I am not one who usually leaves testimonials or often has great things to say about doctors; however, Dr. Green is the bees’ knees. In a world where I often feel like the medical system treats symptoms and doesn’t provide solutions, my experience with TCO has been phenomenal and completely changed my perspective. Thank you to Dr. Green, his team, and TCO!

I had a wonderful experience! Dr. Shashank Dwivedi and his team were phenomenal! The hand therapy team was great and very helpful. Thank you to the team for a great experience.

During my first meeting with Dr. O’Neill, he showed me the parts he would be using to perform my hip surgery and thoroughly explained the process. His team got in touch with me and discussed the EXCEL Program they use. They helped sign me up for a PT session with a therapist. After that session, I had a complete understanding of the whole process. Dr. O’Neill’s team also mailed me an EXCEL booklet that covered everything about my hip replacement so I could refer to it if I forgot anything.

The day of the surgery went exactly as it was described to me. The entire staff worked together well and the whole process was seamless. The first night I spent at the Omni Hotel for recovery was also a great experience. Way better and cleaner than a hospital! I would highly recommend Dr. O’Neill, TCO, and their EXCEL program to anyone. I am no longer in pain, and I can walk drastically better than I did before my surgery. Thank you to Dr. O’Neill and TCO staff!

The whole team at Twin Cities Orthopedics was exceptional. Lisa B. at the front desk worked extremely hard to help us with some unique scheduling issues. She is to be highly complimented!

I had both hips replaced by Dr. Samuel Carlson within a nine-month period. I waited longer before having the first side done in June 2025 because I had never had surgery before. I was hesitant so I tried an injection and physical therapy first until the pain became too debilitating. Once I had the surgery done, the recovery was so quick and easy that I didn’t wait as long to have the second side done in April 2026.

My recovery from the second surgery was even faster than the first. I am so happy with the results! I didn’t realize just how limiting it was to live with chronic pain and loss of mobility until it was lifted entirely. I can now do all the things you want to do again. I highly recommend Dr. Carlson and his team, including his PA-C, Jake Szalat, Care Coordinator, Melissa. Thank you to everyone who helped with my pre-op and post-op experience at TCO and the EXCEL Program at the Care Suites.

Dr. Bircher completed a robotic total knee replacement for me in March, and it went as smooth as possible. At three months post-surgery, I feel stronger and have more confidence in my joint than I have over the past five years. I’m so glad I got it done! I will return to Dr. Bircher when I need my second knee replaced.

I have some ongoing spine issues that I am still working on. However, when I saw Dr. Bisch, I was very impressed. He is extremely kind, professional, and explains things very well. Most importantly, he listened and was very respectful toward my situation. I appreciated that very much. I would highly recommend him to others.

I had been suffering with a severe outbreak of gout that encompassed my entire right hand and wrist for three months. A relative recommended that I try Twin Cities Orthopedics. I made an appointment at TCO Otsego clinic with Dr. Alexander Bisch. His team was able to see me the same week. The location was easy to find, right by Hwy 169. The reception staff was very friendly and quickly got me in to see Dr. Bisch. He did a thorough exam of my hand and agreed that I did have a severe flare up of gout. He prescribed several medications to help reduce the pain and swelling. Most of the pain was gone in a couple of days. I would highly recommend Dr. Bisch and the team at TCO Otsego to anyone needing quality orthopedic care.

After experiencing a repetitive work injury, I began seeking help at Twin Cities Orthopedics. Dr. Jason Barry and Rebecca Munson, PA-C were my care providers. They guided me through the whole process, which ultimately required a full rotator cuff surgical repair. I am very pleased with the care I have received and the outcome of my surgery. The communication with their team was second to none. I highly recommend this team! They are top notch providers in every way. Thank you to Dr. Barry, Rebecca Munson, PA-C, and care coordinator, Jeni Olson.
