Patient Testimonials

I was told I had a significant tear in my rotator cuff, with bone spurs and arthritis. Dr. Lewis was straight to the point and gave me his recommendation to have surgery, but ultimately it was my choice. I did not hesitate in making an appointment for surgery. Dr. Lewis and the staff at TCO were professional and very kind. After surgery I went to physicial therapy at TCO. My physical therapists, Chris and Amy, where great. They were very personal, made me feel comfortable, and worked with me through recovery. I am 6 months post-surgery and my shoulder is back to normal, with no pain! I am sleeping at night with no issues. I highly recommend Dr. Lewis and TCO.

I had total shoulder replacement in May 2022. I highly, highly recommend Dr. Peterson for any type of orthopedic replacement/repair surgery! He’s an all-around great guy; super friendly, confident and very knowledgeable! I did really well after surgery, had wonderful care at TCO Wyoming, and follow-up was the best with Dr. Peterson and his fabulous team.

I highly recommend TCO and Dr. Ridley. I had a 5-star experience from my initial visit to urgent care, to being discharged from therapy post-surgery. Dr. Ridley was personable, professional and highly skilled. He did a fantastic job on my surgery and my scar is barely noticeable. I don’t want to go through another injury, but if I do, I won’t go anywhere else.

My husband went to see Dr. Bircher for a consult. I would give Dr. Bircher an A+ for bed side manners. His personality was so gentle. I really appreciated his caring attitude. We will be back.

After my surgery and through an infection I developed, I had the pleasure of working with Rod Youngdahl, PT, OCS. He was a great physical therapist and person to work with. He made the process very comfortable and helped me pushed me to recovery. I have zero complaints working with Roderick and would recommend him to anyone that is in need.

Dr. Allan Hunt and his staff did a great job with my surgery and explaining everything to know before, during, and after surgery. Everyone was very friendly and professional. With every question I had, they answered it right away and made me feel so comfortable with surgery. I feel so great now and am glad they helped me through this process. I would highly recommend Dr. Hunt to anyone. They have a great team at TCO.

This experience has been what I was hoping for. After doing extensive research on most highly recommended surgeons for knee replacement, I was fortunate enough to get in to see Dr. Owen O’Neill at TCO. Everything was explained in detail, a class was offered, I was given support people to call with my pre-and post-surgery questions (and believe me I had many). The compassion, care, intelligence, skill, was unsurpassed and beyond my expectation. The physical therapy support at TCO was sensational. I had many concerns and they were addressed. I was encouraged and custom therapy sessions were given to me by their outstanding staff and reassurance that I was progressing was given.

An outstanding PT person at TCO Edina, was Kari. She knew when I was struggling, frustrated and encouraged me that the outcome would be worth it. It was. Few things I would recommend to others: wait to see a quality surgeon. I highly recommend Dr. Owen O’Neill, and I am very particular and do my research. Rent an ice machine for after care. Do your physical therapy on schedule. Find ways to comfortably elevate your leg and sleep. Book all your physical therapy appointments with people that you are can relate to and understand you and are patient. Check with the doctor if you are concerned. I was skeptical if this was the right course of action and there is no doubt in my mind now, it was the best decision.

I had a left total knee surgery on November 8th at Two Twelve Medical Center. The pre-op and post-op care was absolutely amazing. Before surgery I was very well informed what was going to be done and what to expect. Post-surgery I have not had pain but just some tightness/stiffness, which is to be expected. I could not be happier with Dr. Meyer and the care I received. Six weeks after surgery, I was walking (no limping) and can do everything except running and play pickleball, which I will be starting again! Do as they say, and you will do fabulous. I could not be happier. Thank you Dr. Meyer, my Physical Therapy crew (Megan & Max), and the whole pre- and post-op care personnel. They are the best!

Having been very active most of my adult life, it was difficult for me to start giving up all the sports I had enjoyed because I couldn’t manage the pain anymore. My doctor and nurse friends recommended Dr. Christopher Meyer and I am SO thankful to have followed through with him and his staff. It’s been 3 months from my surgery and I’m cross country skiing again, lifting weights, and walking at a 15 minute mile pace! I am beyond ecstatic to have my life back. Thank you SO very much Dr. Meyer and your amazing staff!

After years of shoulder pain and decreased mobility I started the process of having shoulder replacement surgery. Dr. Mair was highly recommended by a family member, so I chose to go with him. I feel it was the best decision. From my first appointment, through surgery and two post-op appointments, Dr. Mair was a real pleasure to work with. My surgery was a total success. I haven’t had any issues and my recovery is ahead of schedule. I always felt I was in great hands and had complete trust in him. It’s amazing to be able to do things I haven’t been able to do for years, and without pain or grinding. The best advice I can give anyone who is on the fence about joint replacement, is to go ahead and get it done. Stop dealing with the pain. Even better advice is to schedule an appointment with Dr. Mair at Twin Cities Orthopedics!
