Patient Testimonials

I saw Dr. Kempcke during TCO’s urgent care hours. Dr. Kempcke was fantastic! I had endured rare symptoms while at practice that day and no one really knew what was happening and it was a scary time. Dr. Kempcke was able to perform just a few tests and she instantly knew what was going on and directed me to the further step needed. Dr. Kempcke was very personable and even helped me when I called her the following day with questions and her opinion. I am very lucky that my care started with Dr. Kempcke.

I started seeing Seth right away after my total knee replacement. In the first couple of weeks, Seth’s understanding of the procedure and symptoms was very comforting. It was determined that a manipulation was necessary. The positive and reassuring attitudes and feedback I received from Seth and Ashley and the whole staff at the Blaine TCO PT facility was a game changer for me. Even on my tough days, Seth, Ashley, Sam, Kristina, Kasi, and Jared were professional and compassionate while sharing their knowledge of my situation with me. They made a “not-so-fun” situation very tolerable and they did help me reach my goals. I already have recommended this staff to friends who are in need of orthopedic PT services and will continue to do so. Thanks Seth, Ashley and all of the Blaine PT staff. Appreciate your professionalism, knowledge, humor :), and caring ways!!!

I am very thankful that I received such outstanding care from Dr. Gesensway at Twin Cities Orthopedics. He is a true professional and a superior surgeon. My healing has come along so much quicker than expected due to his skills. I have never fractured a wrist before (Colles fracture) but from the minute I walked in the door and met Dr. Gesensway, I suspected I was in for a good experience. I was by no means disappointed in any of the initial or follow-up care he and his team provided. Many thanks to David, Julia, Laura, and many others with whom I have had the pleasure to interact as a result of the bad fall I took on the ice. Thanks to all of you!

One year ago (Feb 2018), I had a right total knee replacement. I chose Dr. Jay Johnson for many reasons, but the deciding factor was his pleasant attitude and his willingness to explain every detail of the surgery. Well I am 3 weeks away from one year (Feb 2019) post total knee replacement on my left leg. Dr. Johnson and his team (Karen) again were “Rock Stars”. He is an outstanding surgeon and will not disappoint. Abbott hospital staff also helped to make my surgeries a success!!!!

Dr. Michael Nemanich did a great job. I had left hip replacement surgery late on a Wednesday afternoon. I was released from the hospital on Friday afternoon. By Sunday I was cutting back on pain meds. On Monday I was driving and went for a walk. A week after surgery I would walk for an hour. Ten days after surgery I walked for two hours. I am very grateful for the wonderful care.

I had to use a cane, wheelchair and walker before I had my knee replacement. I had taken shots as long as I could to get relief from the pain. I asked for the surgery and I am so glad I did! It wasn’t long after the surgery that I could enjoy taking steps without pain. My knee works fine! Looking forward to summer as it will be 1 year in July that I had my knee replaced. I am also looking forward to resuming garding and walking without pain and now with a stronger knee. Dr. Arntson explained everything to me. He always had time for my questions and concerns. His gentle spirit always calmed me.

I had a left hip replacement through the TCO EXCEL Program done by Dr. Arntson and within a few weeks, I had no use for a walker or cane. The surgery was perfect and Dr. Arntson was always there if I had a question or a concern. I totally recommend Dr. Arntson!

Before surgery I had, at times, severe pain in both my knee and hip. I was unable to do stairs without feeling pain. Now I can run down them pain free. Thanks Dr. O’Keefe!

Everything went great! I wouldn’t think twice about doing it again. Pain free! Both Dr. O’Keefe and Nathan Dumm were wonderful. I would never consider going anywhere else.

Had scope surgery 1^st but didn’t help much, then the knee replacement surgery by Dr. O’Keefe went well and the knee feels much better now.
