Patient Testimonials

I worked with Dr. Mittelsteadt and his team, and they were great! They were very friendly and knowledgeable when it came to any questions I had.

My experience with Dr. Engasser was 100% positive! He is knowledgeable, positive, precise, and caring. I had a seriously broken ankle and dislocation when I showed up in urgent care (with no idea of the damage I’d done). He spent an entire day working on the ankle to fix the dislocation and got me into a cast pending the reduction of swelling and scheduled surgery. The first surgery resulted in a nonunion and a second surgery had to be performed. Dr. Engasser brought an additional surgeon in on the second surgery to have assistance. He continued to monitor my progress diligently, offering honest assessments of my progress and always providing an encouraging word. When I had a concern about my progress notes and wrote to him about it, he wrote back to me at nearly midnight to indicate that he would be looking into it and making sure a correction occurred. I simply cannot say enough good things about this doctor, you can trust him 100%, both technically as well as having authentic interest in your wellness.

Dr. Engasser patiently listened as I anxiously shared detailed history related to my right ankle. In order return to running, I’d been referred by my son and a coworker to TCO where I met Dr. Engasser. I’d been doing some research and had a great deal of anxiety about what might be needed to reach that goal. Based on MRI results, he diagnosed and prescribed a much less invasive solution. It is with a grateful heart that I share this and without hesitation, recommend Dr. Engasser.

Dr. Lewis was very professional. He got right to the point and addressed all my concerns.

Dr. Engasser is the BEST. My surgery was life changing and I’m so pleased. Dr. Engasser listened to my needs and met them. I highly recommend him!

After a fall, I had two broken bones in my foot. I was treated at another clinic, by a very rude doctor, who delayed my recovery with the wrong treatment. Twin Cities Orthopedics was recommended and I saw Dr. Engasser, who was very kind and helpful. He had me wear a boot and I was on my was to recovery. I highly recommend him!

My son broke both bones in his lower ankle in a basketball game in July. Dr. Holthusen and his team got him in for surgery quickly so our son could start his road to recovery as soon as possible. Being a 3 sport athlete with plans to also play basketball in college, every single day mattered. He was able to return for the end of his senior football season and is currently playing a full basketball season and looking forward to baseball season! We are so incredibly thankful for Dr. Holthusen and his staff for taking excellent care of him! He is back to 100%.

My experience with Dr. Engasser’s practice was outstanding. He let us know immediately that no question was too small and he shared the scan images, upon which he based his evaluations. I am 78 years old and I never felt like he treated me any differently than he might treat younger patients.

I was very pleased and impressed with Dr. Engasser’s knowledge, observations and examinations of my foot. I was uncertain about his recommendation for a steroid treatment initially, but after talking to him I felt it was a very good option. Not only would it relieve the pain, but it would also provide him with the necessary information in case there is a need to treat my foot in the future. I would recommend him to anyone suffering with foot pain without hesitation.

My son (15 year old) was dealing with lateral foot pain. X-rays showed 5th metatarsal fractures on his right foot, and then they showed on his left foot 1 month later. There was no mechanism of injury, he just started hurting with an increase in summer sporting activities. We saw multiple physicians due to the unusual presentation, as it’s typically only one foot and caused by a traumatic event. Fellow healthcare friends advised me to see Dr. Langer. Immediately, he knew we were dealing with a growth plate issue which had an appearance of fractures on an X-ray, but did not clinically present itself like a fracture. He found why this was happening, evaluated X-ray results appropriately, but also used his clinical judgement and was logical in his diagnosis. Without him, my son would be sitting out of fall sports due to these fractures, which weren’t fractures in the first place! Thank you Dr. Langer. You are the BEST!
