Patient Testimonials

After a right shoulder reverse replacement 11 months ago, I have no pain, only occasional stiffness if I overdue it. I would recommend the procedure to anyone who wants relief from arthritis pain. Dr. Edward Kelly performed the operation and he couldn’t have been more pleasant, reassuring and thorough. His assistant, Lindsey, was helpful and impressive too. When I was able to begin physical therapy, Mike Dixey was very good and encouraging. I would recommend that anyone who has the procedure be sure to be faithful in doing physical therapy if you want a really good outcome. I do no regret having the this surgery and have recommended Twin Cities Orthopedics to friends!

I have been treated by Dr. Meyer for years, he has helped me with multiple body aches and pains. I am more than pleased with the outcome of both knee replacements and shoulder rotator cuff repair. I am now able to do just about anything compared to before I was very limited in my activities. My follow-up care has always been great. He is a caring provider, I would highly recommended Dr. Meyer.

Rotator cuff repair surgery with Dr. Kelly was completely successful. I had no pain after the first day and following my rehab instructions successfully restored my range of motion and strength.

The result of the shoulder surgery performed by Dr. Dieterle gave me full, pain free movement. The recovery and therapy take time, but the result is worth the effort. My physical therapist was excellent in providing support, informing me on what to expect and the time required for recovery.

I deeply appreciate all of the efforts of Dr. Kelly and the TCO staff to get me fully functional following my total shoulder replacement. Thank you!

I was recommended to Dr. Dieterle by another orthopedic surgeon that said “If I’m having my shoulder done, Dr. Dieterle is doing it.” That’s all I needed to hear, I made the appointment the same day and couldn’t be happier! My left shoulder injury included torn rotator, labrum tear, bone spurs, arthritis and issues with the bicep tendon. Dr. Dieterle knocked it out of the park! Before and after surgery I worked with physical therapist extraordinaire, Brett Peterson. What a remarkable team these guys make!! There is both pre- and post-surgery therapy to be done. DO YOUR THERAPY! TCO has the best support system that I have encountered to help me reach my goals. Not a chance that I would go anywhere else for surgery or rehab! Thanks TCO!

While the inability to use my shoulders occurred slowly over time, the decision to have shoulder replacement in both my left and right side was game changing. The mental acceptance of my prognosis was the most difficult. Post-surgical pain was very manageable and 6 weeks without use was frustrating but manageable as well. In addition to my experience with expert surgeon Dr. Kelly, the therapist was a key to full recovery too, Lisa R. is the best. Dr. Kelly’s entire team made my year transformative, giving me back the ability to golf, scuba dive and deep sea fish by the end of the year.

Dr. Kelly and his entire team was outstanding. They answered every question and stayed in contact during the entire shoulder replacement process.

I’m very happy with the shoulder surgery and physical therapy. It exceeded my expectations. Dr. Dieterle is amazing!

My total shoulder replacement surgery by Dr. Kelly gave me back my life and had allowed me to do everything I used to do. I am amazed with the success! Dr. Kelly and his team exceeded all expectations on replacing both of my shoulders and I now have my active life back. Best medical experience I’ve had!
