Dr. Schneider has done two knee replacements for me, a year and a half apart. The first one blew out fast and I had to wait a few months to get on the waiting list as it was November and everyone wants surgery before the year ends. I knew it was the right thing to do and the pain was so bad I was using a cane and felt like I was going to fall all the time. I had other family members who had Dr. Schneider and they were very pleased with the results. My first recovery was good and in in 7 months I took a European trip and was hiking through Sweden and Denmark with no pain on cobblestone streets. I had my second surgery a month ago and Dr. Schneider’s work is amazing. I talked a colleague into getting knee replacement surgery after my first surgery as mine went so well. She suffered with pain for years and she went to another facility in the Twin Cities and did not have a good experience. This summer she had her second surgery on the same knee. After a week from my most recent surgery I was not using a cane or walker and used limited pain meds. My therapy has gone very well and I am dismissed and will continue my therapy at home and a health club. Yesterday I treated myself to a pedicure. I was sitting next to an elderly gentleman and we got to talking. He had two hip replacements at Mayo Clinic. They did not go so well. When I told the man I had Dr. Schneider he said oh yes, he redid my second surgery as Mayo did not do the best job. He said that if he needed any further surgeries he would go back to Dr. Schneider in an instant. He was very pleased with the results. I told Dr. Schneider he can’t retire as I have too many family and friends who are in  need of care. Dr. Schneider and his team are prompt, professional, thorough, efficient, follow up on all details and run a well-tuned organization. I am looking forward to continued improvement, a trip to London this year and retirement with renewed vigor and health. I would highly recommend Dr. Schneider and his team to others needing orthopedic surgery.

I spent almost 3 years visiting various medical professionals attempting to properly diagnose my issue. Neurologists performed 2 MRI’s and 1 EMG and were still unable to identify the issue or provide any helpful guidance moving forward. I was beginning to feel very helpless and frustrated. Dr. Bartie was able to take a scientific approach, analyze all of my symptoms as well as passed incidents, provide evidence to his finding, and give me a proper diagnosis. He was able to scan through my MRI scans and prove his theory correct. I am grateful to have found such an experienced, educated, caring doctor when other doctors have pushed me out of their office doors while attempting to convince me it’s all in my head. I can finally move forward and begin therapy.

Dr. Olmsted is the absolute best physician/surgeon I’ve had! I was in a car accident and shattered my wrist. It took 2 surgeries to correct the issue. I couldn’t even get into another facility for weeks and he squeezed me in the day I called! Great bedside manner! And to top it off his staff that works with him are top notch! Highly recommended.

I am so happy about my new knee.  It has been practically pain free. I can move around so much better and I feel I have a new lease on life.  Dr. Meisterling and staff were very professional and were concerned about me before, during, and after care. I am relieved it is over but all in all a great choice I made.

I could no longer walk so I had both knees replaced. They are doing great and I have had no problems. I can walk now – this procedure gave me a whole new life. 

I was in a lot of pain with my shoulder after surgery but now it is almost pain free. A little more time and I think it will be pain free. I like Dr. Meisterling and I have all the confidence in the world in him. I recommend him to anyone that needs surgery. I cannot speak too highly of him. He is the best. Has a great sense of humor too.

I am more than satisfied with my shoulder replacement. I felt cared for and respected in a compassionate, competent, and professional way, from my office visits to the operating room and all through the physical therapy. My shoulder operates beyond my expectations and I am free of pain. Dr. Norberg and his team are to be congratulated for their thoughtfulness and excellent abilities.

Words can’t express the severe pain that my bone-on-bone hip caused me.  My total hip replacement procedure went extremely well and I was fortunate to not have a single pain in my hip after surgery.  I went home the next day.  What a relief it is to once again be able to put on and tie my shoes, get into low cupboards, and do all the other things requiring a good hip.  I would refer Dr. O’Neill to anyone suffering from hip problems.  He and his assistant, Jessie, provided me with the best care and support one could hope for.

I am 5 weeks out of a total knee replacement. It is a very painful surgery. I am very happy with the fact now I can go up steps pain free. Thank you Dr. Schneider and helpers.

Overall I had an excellent experience with Dr. Teynor and the EXCEL Program. I was in the EXCEL Program for my second knee replacement. There were two things I most appreciated. First, the post surgery care was very personalized and the setting was much better for recovery compared to a hospital. Second, the single bill that covered the entire procedure was much appreciated. I highly recommend this program for those who qualify.
