Patient Testimonials

I would definitely recommend knee replacement for those who need it. Now I can do almost everything I need. I can’t imagine what life would be like without my replacement surgery performed by Dr. Dieterle!

I had a right hip replacement in 2011 by a different physician and one in December 2020, performed by Dr. Arntson. The comparison to my previous surgery and the most recent one was a night and day difference. My short term stay at the Blaine Orthopedic Surgery Center was great and the staff were too. I am 6 weeks post-surgery and I feel almost like I did before surgery! The total experience was great. I have my life back now! Thank you!

Dr. Ridley re-attached my bicep on November 20th and the surgery was a complete success! After therapy, I have almost full movement in my arm and am able to use it without any problems. The follow-up visits were great and he answered all of my questions.

A friend referred me to Dr. Owen O’Neill when I learned that I would need a hip replacement and I’m so glad he did. Dr. O’Neill and his whole team made my experience an extremely good one. I had my surgery 2 months ago and I am now pain-free! Prior to my surgery, standing up was so painful that I had to wait a few seconds before I could walk. I am a pretty active person and I thought it was just a muscular issue so I tried to ignore the pain and just stretch all of the time. Now it is a different story.

I finally have no pain and can walk without a limp. For the winter, I brought my road bike inside and put it on a trainer. I ride every day and can’t wait for nice weather to come back around! My recovery went so well that I went back to work part-time in 2 weeks after the surgery! I was first told by another surgeon about a posterior method to replace my hip. He said it would be a 6-week recovery. I would definitely recommend Dr. O’Neill to others and the Anterior Hip Replacement Surgery that he does. In fact, I already have. My family and friends are amazed by my recovery. I am a Dental Hygienist and my patients can’t believe I just had my hip replaced. Thank you so much to Dr. O’Neill and his whole team for taking such good care of me!

Dr. David Anderson’s surgeries enabled me to restore both knee and shoulder activities within record time. His knowledge and care are superb!

My total knee replacement with Dr. Kelly went well and physical therapy is a grind but I’m getting there. I am gaining range of motion and strength every day!

From the first time I met with Dr. Arntson, I was treated with great care. The procedure was well explained and possible results were explained, both good and bad, for me to make an informed decision on surgery. Everything went smoothly with both knee replacement surgeries. Dr. Arntson made me feel well cared for and safe. I trusted his judgement and did not feel afraid. I am very happy with my experience.

A quick note to express my gratitude on the tremendous job Dr. Kelly did on my rotator cuff surgeries. Two weeks ago I was on a beach, throwing a football with my son, and it was the first time in 25 years that activity was pain-free. I have resumed all of my desired physical activities and cannot thank Dr. Kelly enough.

I am now at 6 weeks post-op from a total knee replacement with Dr. Christopher Meyer and I am certainly feeling as good as I did six weeks pre-op. I expect I will recover endurance and increase muscle tone as I continue to work back into shape. I’ve had knee problems since the age of 14 and have had three surgeries before this one. I am now 56. I feel that six weeks from now, with the consistent work and positive mental attitude, I will have more use of the lower body and better overall quality of life then I have had for many years.

Dr. Kelly and Lindsay made my knee replacement surgery a very comfortable and successful procedure. Before surgery, I was not able to do the physical activities that I wanted and fixing my knee has made it possible to do almost anything I want. I would highly recommend their care. They helped my decide the right time in my life to get the surgery done.
