The last thing I expected was to need rotator cuff surgery during a pandemic, and believe me, I was…read morenot happy to be going in person to see doctors, but this clinic is doing everything right, and I do feel as safe as I think is possible these days when I have to go to see my surgeon or my physical therapists. I agree with everything Leah O. said in her review about Dr. Aimee Klapach, and indeed, Leah's review is a big part of what led me to Dr. Klapach. Some people might think it's strange to find a doctor on Yelp, but I trust my Yelpers!! Before I went to see Dr. Klapach, I had been seeing doctors at FairView University for the better part of last year. I wish I had gone to see Dr. Klapach right away. I doubt she would have made me wait 8 months and jump through numerous hoops before telling me that surgery was inevitable. I can't ever get those eight months back, but thanks to Dr. Klapach, I am slowly getting back my range of motion, and I believe my pain is already less than it was before surgery, most of the time. I just had the surgery in December (which went great, by the way! They do it in an orthopedic facility, not a hospital, so my Covid fears were lessened), so it has only been a short time, and recovery for rotator cuff surgery is notoriously slow. But Dr. Klapach and her assistant Bradley are with you every step of the way, going above and beyond, to the point where the surgeon will actually pick up a phone and call you. Yes, I just about fell on the floor the first time that happened. Dr. Klapach really cares, and so do her staff. I am also really happy with the physical therapists on site. They do a great job, and are available by phone or email if you have questions about the exercises. Side note: They have recently re-branded to Allina Orthopaedics, but they are still the same great clinic with the same caring staff.

Look, I'm not gonna waste your time with all of my injury details. If you're looking at this page,…read moreyou're probably broken and vulnerable, and you just need to know the facts. Fact: "Expert" doesn't begin to describe Dr. Aimee Klapach, MD. She does 270 knee surgeries a year, a fact I kept repeating to myself when I was having anxiety spin-outs in the weeks before my ACL reconstruction surgery. That depth of experience matters when you're literally trusting someone with your limbs. Fact: She's a super conservative surgeon, bless her heart. She never tells me what I want to hear. She tells me what I need to hear. I don't want a risk-taking, skydiving bro giving me health advice. I want someone who's gonna tell me that "If it were my sister, I wouldn't do it" when I ask if I can fly to a wedding a few weeks after surgery because there's a small chance I could get DVT and die. She obviously didn't love disappointing me. But she takes her job seriously enough to be a firm advocate for my healing and my body, and at the end of the day that's what I need. Fact: Her work is excellent. I'm 9 weeks out from surgery and my knee is healing beautifully. I followed her directions and the result is that nothing has gone wrong: no infections, no mistakes, no risks, no mishaps. Just steady improvements day after day, which is all I can really ask for. Fact: She has an incredible team working with her. They called me the evening after my surgery to check in- which at the time felt like an incredible kindness- and when I have questions they always call me back within a few hours. Her scheduler was wonderful, and made sure we had everything we needed to prepare for surgery. I've always found it easy to book appointments, and Dr. Klapach goes to a variety of locations, making it easy to find a time and place that works with my schedule. I feel so lucky that I landed in her care, and can't recommend her enough.

Dr. Dahl not only replaced my hip, he also lengthened my leg and got rid of my limp. The recovery was so fast I could hardly believe it. I was walking within days, and back to work within 5 weeks.

She is incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to trying every possible treatment to help her patients find relief. She takes the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and creates a personalized approach to care. I look forward to my weekly adjustments and muscle work with her. I highly recommend both Dr. Taylor Koloc and Knewtson Clinic to anyone seeking compassionate, high-quality chiropractic care.

I saw Dr. Troy Knutson, DC, at this clinic. My first visit went well, and I was satisfied enough at…read morethe time to leave a positive review. Unfortunately, my second visit resulted in a serious and medically documented injury. During that appointment, my lower back was adjusted in a way that immediately led to severe complications. Shortly afterward, I was unable to have bowel movements, and my condition rapidly worsened to the point that I had to go to the ER. I was admitted to the hospital and diagnosed with a perforated colon, requiring a week-long hospitalization. After being discharged, I contacted Dr. Knutson directly. He acknowledged the situation and told me he had informed Dr. Alex Twenge, DC, and that corrective care would be provided. Despite those assurances, no meaningful or appropriate follow-up care occurred. I have text message documentation confirming these communications. This experience raised serious concerns for me about the standard of care and the lack of accountability afterward. The physical, emotional, and personal impact has been significant, including time lost with my family that I cannot get back. Based on my experience, I would strongly encourage others to carefully consider their options and proceed with extreme caution before seeking treatment here.

I have had two fairly severe Trigger Fingers for many years - Right hand middle and ring fingers…read more These were both getting worse, one frequently locking up on me. Inconvenient and painful! I researched Hand doctors and even had surgery scheduled but a previous bad experience in an operating room left me with much apprehension so I cancelled that. I found Dr. Jon Norberg in an internet search offering just what I wanted - Office based "wide-awake" surgery for these hand (and other) conditions. After a consultation I made an appointment and had both finger pulleys "released" on August 17. 2022. It was easy as can be, with me keeping all my clothes on and hand sterilized/arm draped. He uses a local anesthetic of lidocaine and epinephrine and my hand went totally numb - and as I was very interested, he even let me watch the whole procedure, explaining what he was doing as he went. The small incision that took care of both fingers was made along the crease in the palm of my hand and now I can hardly see it.....no ugly scars vertically or horizontally, and it looks like my hand did before the procedure! Dr. Norberg did an excellent job, and I don't give praise out easily. He's really good! I had the three stitches taken out a week later and aside from having to keep the hand dry for a few days and do some special stretching exercises, it was all good. Every day showed more improvement and with only slight lifting restrictions, my hand was immediately working as it was supposed to, no more trigger fingers, no more pain! Quick and easy! I just went back this week for my 6 week check and he graduated me to the "healed" status. Honestly, the best part about this is that there is no hospital operating room, no stress, it is all done in a small office set up for these procedures, all local anesthetic and as such is quite a friendly atmosphere. Dr. Norberg and his staff are also all very personable, all confident and low-key. I felt like I was among friends and that made for an awesome experience. Dr. Norberg and staff, thanks so much for all you have done for me and for making these "wide awake, office based surgeries" more available to patients like me. To anyone with apprehensions (or not) and looking for easier solutions to hand, wrist, elbow and upper arm problems, I highly recommend you check with Dr. norberg - IMHO, he is the best I have found!

Together, we came up with a plan that included adjustments and massages with Krista, who is a fantastic masseuse. After a few weeks, I was feeling noticeably better, and the before-and-after X-rays made the improvement clearly visible. At the same time, I had been struggling with my forearm after tweaking it while doing curls. For nearly a year, I saw a physical therapist and even received a PRP injection, but nothing seemed to be relieving the pain. Dr. Brent recommended I try laser therapy, and after about six sessions, my forearm was feeling great. I'm definitely looking forward to trying it on other areas that have been giving me trouble. Whether you're dealing with spinal pain or any other joint pain, I highly recommend the team at Total Spine Maple Grove. I continue to go in for occasional maintenance visits just to keep everything in check. The office is clean and the staff is friendly.

I had done my research and was so excited to make an appointment with Dr. Justin Hejny. I called to…read moremake my 1st appointment and had it all set up with the friendly assistant... and then she asked how I had heard about atlas work and I ANECDOTALLY SHARED that my friend had mentioned that she had heard good things about Dr. Hejny AFTER I TOLD HER I WAS THINKING OF SEEING HIM! . Then things got weird on the phone with the assistant. She got awkward and said that I couldn't see Dr. Hejny because my friend actually sees another doctor in the building (Dr. Berg). So basically, because I mentioned my friend, I would have to see Dr. Berg. I laughed and clarified that I had done all my own research and that my friend had just mentioned that she knew Dr. Hejny. I had no idea who her doctor was and ONLY mentioned her name in case she got something out of my mentioning her. I WAS A NEW PATIENT. I DID MY OWN RESEARCH AND CHOSE DR. HEJNY. I KNEW NOTHING OF DR. BERG AT ALL! I HAVE A RIGHT TO CHOOSE WHO I (A UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL) WOULD LIKE TO SEE. The assistant told me she would have to have a meeting with the office manager to determine if I was "allowed" to see Dr. Hejny. Now (one week later) I was told that he would not accept me as a new patient because I had mentioned my friend's name. I would have to see Dr. Berg instead. (Who I knew nothing of, because they have separate websites!) That is ridiculous. I will not be bullied into seeing a Dr. that I did not choose... It would hinder the relationship from the start. So now I can't experience the benefits of Dr. Hejny' s work because two doctors want to claim property rights on patients. I am not property, and I will never go to a clinic that revokes my right to choose my care provider. Grow up and learn to play in the sandbox together. So thank you for nothing, Dr. Hejny and Dr. Berg. Dr. Hejny, I had really been looking forward to meeting you so that I could experience atlas care, and it's kind of unbelievable to have been rejected. Dr. Berg, I will not make an appointment with you because this makes me feel like cattle that has been branded before I've even stepped onto the farm. If you both step back and look at how this appears to a new patient, I think you'll see how foolish it is for you to take away my options before I've ever stepped into your clinic.

I'm a massage/shiatsu therapist for a major healthcare system here in the Twin Cities. I first…read moreheard about Dr. Hejny from a client of mine who presented with a hip issue, seemingly out of the blue. I worked on him for over a year with this issue as did another massage therapist who specializes in postural restoration but we could not make his hip feel better for more than a day or two. Finally, the day came when he announced to me that his hip pain was miraculously gone. He went on to explain with much joy and near befuddlement that he'd gone to see a chiropractor who specialized in "atlas adjustment" and that he was laid on his side on a table and a small metal rod the size of a pencil came down and tapped him painlessly behind his ear. When he got up, the hip pain that had been plaguing him for so long was gone. I have to admit, I was a little incredulous. But he gave me Dr. Hejny's information and I did a little research. As a bodyworker, I have a pretty good understanding of anatomy but I truly had no idea that our Atlas bone, aka C1, that sits just below our skulls, cannot be adjusted by hand with any kind of accuracy and that although I've been seeing chiropractors regularly since I was a teenager mine had never been addressed, or even mentioned. It was very interesting and compelling information, but, as with so many things in life, I quickly forgot about it and carried on. About a year later I was working on a nurse practitioner who asked me if I'd ever heard of Orthogonal Chiropractics. I said I had but I'd since forgotten about it. She gushed and highly recommended that I consider seeing Dr. Hejny saying "It's a total game-changer." Not a week later I had another nurse bring it up again, this time saying "He's amazing! It will change your life." Now, when you hear such things, you really must pay attention so I took my cue from the universe and this time did some serious research, learning all I could. It became quickly evident that this was a brilliant, stupidly obvious but completely overlooked, simple approach to body alignment. I then started noticing how many of my clients, who were complaining of knee, hip, low back, foot, etc. issues, often had necks that did not quite line up with their spine. I began asking as they laid face-up on my table and I sat at their heads looking down their bodies if they thought their head felt straight and lined up with their spine. Most would say yes. I would then take their heads and shift it to line up squarely and inevitably the client would find that uncomfortable and report as feeling crooked. Hm! I also started noticing how most people's leg lengths were different so I began recommending many of my clients go see Dr. Hejny, even though I'd never even so much as spoken to him. As more and more of my clients saw him I began hearing, feeling and seeing amazing things with them. Again, I was hearing "It's a total game-changer" or "he has given me my life back" and they were so grateful for my recommendation to see him. My clients kept encouraging me to go but I didn't feel the need until I began having some serious issues that no stretching or massage could fix. Finally, I had to go. Without making this review far too long for anyone to read (wait, did that happen about 3 paragraphs back?! My apologies...but, in for a penny, in for a pound as they say!) my experience was exceptional in every aspect, and in many ways, I would never, ever have anticipated. First of all, meeting Dr. Hejny was pure joy. I could see and hear the passion he has for what he does. He knows that he is doing exactly what he was put on this earth to do and that what he is doing is far beyond normal chiropractics. You can clearly see that the relief he is providing for so many who thought there was no relief to be found fills his soul. He is incredibly intelligent and understands the body and all the intricate relationships within. He is compassionate, patient and committed to helping his clients find their way to wellness and just plain feeling good. I'm 55 years old and quite overweight. With every passing year I've been feeling more and more pain in my back, in my knees, in my feet...so many places. I'd resigned myself, accepting that with age (and weight) life just hurts more and I'll power through. Until I had my very crooked atlas adjusted by Dr. Hejny and his brilliantly designed orthogonal machine. It was like the clouds parted, the sun came out and the birds were rejoicing! My horrible foot pain was gone immediately. My knee pain took a couple of weeks. My chronic back injury wasn't waking me at night anymore when I tried to turn. Even the hearing in my right ear improved! Crazy AWESOME! It truly has changed my life, just like everyone said it would! Dr. Hejny is honestly the smartest doctor I've ever met with palpation skills that make me feel like I should go back to school.

I received a notification late Friday evening saying my appointment was scheduled for 9 am. I was already confused on the different time, so I showed up at 8:35, i filled out the paperwork, then waited, and waited and waited. At 9:18 I was taken back by a chiropractic assistant to go into this office that I was instructed to watch a 7 minute video. It was a waste of time! Then when the video was done, I waited and waited and waited. I finally went back and the doctor and I talked about pains and he said he wanted me to do xrays, no prob as I know this is normal for chiropractors. But there was SO MUCH time I was just sitting by myself waiting. I thought a new patient appointment would be efficient and make me feel like I am cared about but all the excess time spent waiting I was just glad the appointment was free.
