Patient Testimonials

I had trigger finger surgery done with Dr. Dwivedi and I have nothing but rave reviews. I can actually move my finger, and it doesn’t hurt! Everything from start to finish was wonderful. I healed very well and my scar looks good. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Dwivedi!

I had a mass removed from my thumb and I can’t believe how amazing things are now. I am almost completely healed, and I can’t even tell where the mass was. I continue to do my scar massage, and it feels great. Dr. Dwivedi did such a great job. Him and his team were just great. They were very nice and professional. I am very appreciative of the care I received!

I had endoscopic carpal tunnel release surgery on both wrists with Dr. Dwivedi and I couldn’t be happier. My recovery is going very well, as did both procedures. Dr. Dwivedi explained things very well, so I knew what to expect. I would recommend Dr. Dwivedi to anyone!

I had right thumb surgery with Dr. Dwivedi and my recovery is going very well. Everything has been wonderful! Dr. Dwivedi explained things very clearly. I expected to be in more pain than I was which is great! I would highly recommend Dr. Dwivedi and his team to others!

Dr. Hunt has performed three procedures for me over the years, the most recent of which was a partial knee replacement a few days ago. He is not only one of the Twin Cities top orthopedic surgeons but also a truly great person. Dr. Hunt and his entire team literally bent over backward to make my surgery happen in an extremely timely manner. I am now at home recovering well, thanks to the skilled hands and kind heart of Dr. Hunt. A special thank you to Cherry, his care coordinator, and to all the nursing staff at Ridgeview and TCO. I especially want to thank my night nurse, Adriene H., and my physical therapist, Amanda N. I am extremely grateful to everyone who provided me with exceptional service and care.

The hardest part of a prosthetic was never the fit. It was the idea. I never wanted or needed one, and I had built a world-record career without one. Drew Gienau understood that. He never pushed a premade solution. Instead, he asked me what I wanted this prosthetic to do for my throwing, and he got me excited about the answer. It brought a new energy to a sport I’ve competed in for years. Somewhere in that process, I got comfortable not just using a prosthetic but being seen using it. That’s what Twin Cities Orthopedics gave me.

My procedure with Dr. Carlson was great! I really appreciated the EXCEL program since I didn’t have to go home the evening of my surgery. It was lovely to be able to use the constant ice machine. Being able to walk as often as I wanted with someone who was able to keep a professional eye on me was very nice. It also gave the nurses a chance to do some alterations to my meds before I went home. Since all my questions were answered during my stay, I went home completely comfortable with handling my own care.

I was born with a defective hip. After 11 years spent trying to find answers, Dr. Larson figured it out three minutes. Because of his medical expertise, I enjoyed 16 pain-free years. In July 2025, my hip eventually needed a total replacement. I made 13 visits to the ER and saw three orthopedic surgeons outside of TCO. Every provider told me it was sciatic pain, but I knew from my experience before seeing Dr. Larson that that wasn’t the problem.

After all this, I found my way back to TCO and meet with Dr. O’Neill. He determined that my hip was bone on bone and was ready for a replacement. The hip replacement procedure was life changing! Four days after surgery, I lost my cane because I walked away from it. I walked up four stairs with ease before I noticed the cane was missing and I wasn’t using it. From diagnosis to restoration, Dr. Larson and Dr. O’Neill changed my life. I was frustrated and depressed with the care I received prior to finding them. They gave me hope and a future I can enjoy again. Dr. Larson and Dr. O’Neill will always be my first stop from now on.

In April, I had my right knee replaced. I went into surgery confident that Dr. Bircher would work his magic again! He did my left knee replacement two years ago which went amazing. He takes time to explain, answers all my questions, and reassured me every step of the way. His entire team is so positive and caring! Within a few weeks, I was moving easier than I had before surgery. I am continuing to heal and greatly appreciate the care provided! I highly recommend Dr. Bircher and his team!
