Patient Testimonials

Dr. Ridley performed knee surgery on my high school aged daughter and has been thorough in every step along the way. This was my daughter’s third knee surgery, but her first with Dr. Ridley. We live in the Duluth area, and working with Dr. Ridley has been nothing but positive. He is absolutely worth the extra travel. We had many questions, and it made things a bit more complicated than normal. However, he is a clear communicator. He is prompt for all appointment times, answers questions well, and we couldn’t be happier with the surgery results. We really feel he is an incredibly attentive physician. Thank you, Dr. Ridley, for such a positive experience!

Angela Tullbane is a great help to me. I learned about fiber take, protein amounts, and fat intake. She has helped me understand what foods to avoid and what foods to include in my diet. Her sessions and advice made a big difference for me. I encourage anyone who wonders about their nutrition to go see Angela!

Angela Tullbane has been working with me all summer long and has been guiding me to lose weight naturally. She has taught me so much about whole foods and eating the correctly. Thanks to Angela for the help!

I was paired with Dr. Brian O’Neill back in 2004 when I had torn my bicep tendon during work. He performed my surgery, and now I can still throw balls and frisbee golf discs without any problems. I believe he doesn’t perform that particular surgery anymore, but mine has stood the test of time. Thanks to Dr. O’Neill for his outstanding skill during my surgery.

I want to personally thank Dr. Moeller and her team for the exceptional care I received during my recent hand surgery. Her team is capable, communicative, and committed to excellence in patient care. Bravo!

Dr. Bircher and his entire team are not only professional in their communication but are also very personable and friendly. The hip replacement recovery was quicker than I had imagined, and Dr. Bircher’s guidance during my recovery made it go smoothly.

Dr. Wulf performed arthroscopic surgery on my shoulder. I am 7-weeks out and already have better range of motion with less pain. Dr. Wulf was great with the whole process from initial visits to physical therapy to injections to surgery. He always answered my questions and was good at explaining the surgical process. I am grateful for my positive experience with Dr. Wulf and TCO. I highly recommend Dr. Wulf and his staff – they are all very professional!

I recently had both of my knees replaced by Dr. Ridley from Twin Cities Orthopedics. He was very confident, approachable, and I felt like we had a good discussion about my options. He has wonderful bedside manner. I was confident in his ability through his work ethic, his knowledge, and his way of communicating with me. My experience was stellar. I am 15-weeks post-op from my left knee and 8-weeks out from my right. I am back to biking again and I am planning on golfing in a month. Cheers to Dr. Ridley for helping me turn back time. I would absolutely refer friends and family to him!

I am so glad I went to Twin Cities Orthopedics and chose Dr. James Bircher as my surgeon. He really cares about his patients and makes you feel comfortable about the whole experience. I now feel that I have my life back. My right hip replacement went even better than I had hoped. I highly recommend him and his team.

Dr. Mittelsteadt did surgery on both my left and right foot. This included bunions, hammer toes straightening, and fused bones due to arthritis. He spent time to explain everything clearly and gave me a clear picture of how surgery would proceed. He was kind, personable, and professional. I highly recommend him and his team!
