Patient Testimonials

Dr. Gulli just performed my second total knee replacement which was a huge success, as my first surgery.  Dr. Gulli and his entire team have always been extremely professional and always available to answer any questions I may have. I participated in the EXCEL Program, allowing me to know before surgery what my total financial obligation was. Also it was wonderful to receive one bill for all of the costs. I was transported to Interlude and was extremely happy with the care of the RN and PT while staying there a very short time. I would highly recommend Dr. Gulli and his team.

I have had both knees replaced by Dr. Gulli. Both surgeries were highly successful and I have gotten back to my normal routine less than two months after my most recent surgery! I can’t thank Dr. Gulli and Margaret Baranowski enough for giving me my life back! Sure, it’s a hard surgery to recover from, however, if you stick to the exercises and PT, you will have an amazing outcome! Oh, and it helps to have a positive attitude, as well! Thanks, too, to Dawn, Patient Care Coordinator. She completes the team of Gulli/Baranowki!  I am most thankful and grateful to them all!

My total knee replacement surgeries were 9 and 3 years ago. I am very satisfied with both. I would definitely recommend Dr. Meyer and his team.

Extremely happy with the care I received from Dr. Lewis and the entire staff at Twin Cities Orthopedics. Five stars all around! From the receptionist, to the nurses, to the doctor and especially to “Libby” (Dr. Lewis right hand women), I felt in great and confident hands. I run a small business and understand good service, and would strongly recommend this kind and qualified group of medical staff.

I have very HIGH regards and review of Dr. O’Neill, Jessie Donovan and team. Each of them have given/shown me their desire to make life easier for me. Dr. O’Neill is always performing the latest procedures. To have such horrible pain and not able to complete even small tasks, it’s been a treasure to have relief. Dr. O’Neill has performed four major surgeries for me and all have been very successful. Two hips replacements and the latest are two knee surgeries. The recovery from the latest knee surgery this fall has been extremely easy and quick to once again get back to living. Life is so much better. I have suggested Dr. O’Neill to several others who have surgical needs and reports that I hear from them are equally pleased.

Just a few months after my surgery with Dr. Meyer, I was able to get back to all the activities I love including hiking, golfing, strength training, and snowmobiling. I have full use of my left knee and really can’t tell the difference between the surgically repaired left knee and my right knee.

Dr. Allan Hunt’s expertise and caring manner provided an exceptional experience for a very difficult procedure of total knee replacement. His care team was helpful and considerate of every question, need and concern. The EXCEL program was amazing from pre-op to post-op. I could not have wished for a better scenario. I am fortunate to have been referred to such an amazing surgeon. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!

When I was told that I needed a knee replacement, I went to my friend who was the head nurse of the orthopedic department at Abbott Northwestern. She recommended Dr. Hunt and that was all the confirmation I needed because I had worked with him as an Operating Room nurse when he was a resident. Although it had been over 18 years I remembered what a nice, kind, caring person he was. I have been so happy with my outcome! The constant pain is gone and I am out doing what I was limited to before. My care at Abbott was wonderful. I would say if you are living in pain go see Dr. Hunt!

My knee is so strong and I have been able to do many activities with no pain!

Dear Dr. Meisterling,

A note to thank you again for my good, healthy life. I am still pain free after knee replacements in June 2009 and April 2011 in Amery, WI. At 88 years old, my husband Louis (86 years old) and I go swimming and to fitness classes 4 times a week. I play cards, go to coffee, and do my housework. I think often of you and I thank you.

Sincerely,
Joan S.
