Patient Testimonials

Dr. Ridley performed reconstructive surgery on my son’s shoulder, allowing him to return to football within months of the procedure. Pretty impressive and only possible because of the skill, expertise, and compassion that Dr. Ridley exudes in his practice. He brings to the table a personalized approach and experience as a collegiate athlete as well. We are incredibly thankful that my son has been able to continue to compete at a high level and remain free of any further injury to his shoulder. Thank you, Dr. Ridley!

Dr. Hartigan did an outstanding job on my rotator cuff repair. He has a great bedside manner and sense of humor.

If you’re seeking a consultation for a shoulder concern, you must schedule an appointment with Dr. Hess! He took the time to listen to my concerns and asked several follow-up questions to ensure he fully understood my issues. I was suffering from calcific tendonitis, and we initially decided to try cortisone injections. Unfortunately, my condition was too advanced, so Dr. Hess recommended surgery as the best course of action. He thoroughly explained all possibilities and set clear expectations, making me feel completely comfortable with the decision. Despite my apprehension about undergoing surgery for the first time, Dr. Hess and his team treated me with the utmost respect and professionalism.

Dr. Leafblad was amazing from start to finish. He was very professional and clear with what the problem was and how he was going to fix it. I was very happy with the process, and my shoulder has improved a lot since the surgery. I would recommend Dr. Leafblad for any treatment.

My shoulder was replaced in August, and by December I could fully elevate my arm. I am very happy I finally had this surgery done. Thanks to Dr. Schmiesing and his staff for a smooth surgery and recovery.

I chose to see Dr. Kelly for a second opinion on my injury. Not only did meet with me after a one day notice,  he spent an hour explaining in detail what needed to be done and how he would do it. I felt so comfortable that I agreed to surgery with him on the spot. Post-surgery has been exactly what he said it would be like. I am on week five post-op and my shoulder is feeling fantastic. Not only is he a five-star doctor, but his team is too. They are awesome people all the way around. Thank you Dr. Kelly. I’m looking forward to my rehabilitation starting next week.

Dr. Moeller is an expert on elbows. She did a thorough exam and recommended a test on my nerves first. After the tests, she recommended the surgery and explained the process in detail. The surgery went extremely well, and her team called the following day to ensure I was doing well. I had two follow up visits and after 8 weeks my arm and fingers have no nerve issues or numbness. I highly recommend Dr. Moeller and team.

I came in with extreme right shoulder pain and discovered I had arthritis with bone spurs. Dr. Arntson advised me of options but said surgery was in my future. I tried cortisone shots, but they were only a short-term pain reliever. Finally I scheduled surgery, and it was the best move I ever made. The surgery went well, and I have been pain-free ever since. I have fully recovered and am back to doing everything I did before surgery. I highly recommend surgery with Dr. Arntson and wish I wouldn’t have waited so long to have it done.

I had a broken arm and from my first appointment to my final 3 month appointment, I have appreciated the professionalism and knowledge of Dr. Ridley and his team. He clearly explained my X-rays and the options available for treatment. I would definitely recommend Dr. Ridley to my family and friends.

Dr. Fischer was wonderful. He diagnosed my problems immediately and within a day, because of his expertise, I starting getting relief.
