I want to sincerely express my gratitude to Dr. Neil Johnson. He was extremely professional and his attitude to my issue was full of sympathy and empathy. Thank you!

Dr. Michael R. Johnson performed knee replacement surgery on both of my knees, one in late 2022 and the other in early 2023. I was able to travel to Norway in October of 2023 and had no issues with walking or hiking. I highly recommend Dr. Johnson!

Dr. Ockuly performed a total reverse shoulder replacement for me in May. Prior to my surgery, I was not able to work over head or shoot my shot gun. I love to go bow hunting and was not able to shoot my vertical bow. He told me I would be shooting my bow by Fall. It was true and I couldn’t be happier. The TCO team was excellent.

I was suffering from extreme shoulder pain in both shoulders for about 7 years which got progressively worse over time. It was caused purely by arthritis with no history of damage from an accident or injury. I went to my local TCO clinic in Vadnais Heights for an opinion by a trained physician and was introduced to Dr. Nels Leafblad.

During the appointment, I was impressed by his medical background and that he treated damaged shoulders. A thorough evaluation determined my need for a total replacement of both shoulders. Feeling more at ease with Dr. Leafblad, we both agreed to replace one shoulder in 2024 and the other in 2025 if the first was successful. A great decision! Dr. Leafblad’s confidence and positive manner led to a very positive outcome.

Now, here I am in May 2025 with two newly replaced shoulders, a good attitude, and most importantly, no pain. I am completely back to performing house and year work while being also to play golf again. I feel like I was led to TCO and Dr. Leafblad. Now I have a new lease on life at age 78.

Dr. Ridley performed surgery on both of my hip replacements. The experience was great with instant relief and no complications. My first hip was done at the Blaine location in November 2024 while the second hip was done at the Plymouth location in May 2025. Both locations had amazing staff. It was a great experience, and I would highly recommend Dr. Ridley for any orthopedic needs.

This was my first time having surgery. As someone with chronic pain and EDS, I was nervous that I wouldn’t be able to dance again. I was afraid that I wouldn’t be listened to, or my chronic issues would not be taken seriously. Desmond and Hanna were a bright light throughout the ups and downs of my recovery. They responded to every setback with compassion, creativity, and patience. We had a lot of laughs, which is essential for healing (and my comedic ego). I am truly grateful for them both. Now, I am back on the dance floor, showing off my skills, and heading to Vegas to perform in front of approximately 700 people!

Dr. Hunt was amazing at explaining everything pertaining to my surgery, post-op, and recovery. He is beyond professional and genuinely cares for his patients. Thank you for fixing me up and I look forward to continuing my healing. I would recommend Dr. Hunt to everyone. Thank you!

Dr. Ockuly, his team, and the rehab crew were magnificent! The surgical experience was first rate and the follow up was fantastic. They were always direct and clear with me from confirming they can do the surgery to informing me how to rest and rehab properly. Thank you, Dr. Ockuly!

After years of managing my knee pain with injections and activity modifications, I finally decided to pursue a total knee replacement. I am grateful that my search led me to Dr. Samuel Carlson at Twin Cities Orthopedics. From my first consultation through surgery and recovery, the care I received was exceptional. Through diagnosis, surgery, EXCEL Extended Care, and physical therapy, the process was seamless and far beyond my expectations.

A knee replacement is an important life decision, and I couldn’t have asked for a better team. I highly recommend Dr. Carlson and TCO to anyone facing an orthopedic challenge. You only get one chance to do it right. Make sure you have the best surgical team. I am grateful I did.

Dr. Nishant Dwivedi was amazing! My adult son, Nate, fell and broke both wrists. Both were severely damaged. We met with Dr. Dwivedi for a consultation and scheduled surgery which was quite extensive. I was so impressed with Dr. Dwivedi’s bedside manner. He was polite and patient in answering all our questions. He did not rush and was very thorough in explaining the surgical process. Nate is recovering well and his X-rays after surgery were very favorable thanks to the skilled hands of Dr. Dwivedi. Thank you!
