They're private equity owned, so the doctors need to see a patient every 10 minutes. This means they're always trying to run to their next appointment as quickly as possible. They're also incompetently run, as they canceled an appointment without giving me any notice. read more

Continued and consistent care of osteoarthritis conditions. Appointments seem to be reasonably available as needed.

my appointment and then I went to urgent care and that was great and then when I had surgery and then my follow up after surgery

if it wasn't an emergency situation, I never would've chose these people. They WAAAAAAY under medicate their patients. I had a hip surgery, and I suffered more than I have ever in my life. Please please seek out other options and do not go here. read more

I have gone to these doctors since the first two doctors started the clinic almost 60 years ago and I've had nothing but the best of care

I came here after having extensive wrist pain for weeks and it was making life a little difficult. Fortunately they do walk in appointments (they said urgent care and walk in are similar to them). I didn't have to wait long since it was a slow day and I am a healthcare provider myself, I thought it could've been a wrist fracture. Thankfully it wasn't with the quick service and x ray reading they were able to get me. My wrist has been healing well now with the tips the PA gave me! I had tendinitis and fortunately I was able to get the answers I needed to help with the treatment! Recommend here if you have orthopedic issues rather than going to the standard ER or urgent care! read more

Was treated for spinal surgery by Dr. Crowe. The whole process was very impersonal and rushed and looking back made me wish I would have gone with my instinct to go somewhere else. He has a terrible bedside manner and my hospital stay was nothing like they told me it would be. Once I was done with surgery, I barely talked to the doctor ever again. He didn't even come see me after surgery in the hospital. Overall terrible experience and traumatic. You're just a number and money maker for the doctor and that business. It's sad. read more

It's clear TCO is focused on revenue over patient outcomes. Dr. Larson upsold throughout every step of a workup and post operation complications on first hip. This "top doctor" even tried to sell me on a simultaneous knee arthroscopy for a minor issue during my next hip surgery. There have been significant code discrepancies, lack of patient education, dismissing non operative options as not viable, and misdocumenting the wrong hip/side of the body. I requested that visit summaries/documentation be corrected when the wrong side of the body was noted by multiple departments after multiple years attempting to recover normal daily function. The PT answer I received was: "It's billed the same either way". I made multiple verbal and written requests to get this amended and when finally updated, it still short changed the reality of the worse symptoms with surgery outcome. Still no ins record of the procedures performed during 1st of 2 operations (with extra and uncommon precedure). Their objection handling has all been revenue based rather than patient health. I would not trust their "research" and medical journals pumped out in favor of FAI hip $urgery. Complete disregard for life changing impacts when extra procedure they sold (misrepresented) totaled that hip and created major spine issues. Inept at best, purposefully misleading at worst. read more

Dr: EDWARD SZALAPSKI JR I saw this "Doctor" twice. Both were super rushed, if he spent 5 minutes in the room I would be surprised. I came to see both hands and shoulders. He did a quick test of one shoulder and sent them in to do a cortisone shot. I had to track him down later to make sure he knew I primarily came my hands/wrists. He placed an order for one hand even though I mentioned I had sever problems with both. The second appointment he told me to simply wear a brace for 3 months and hope it gets better. I then went and saw a general neurologist at another clinic for my back. She put in an ordered for rehab and was quite concerned with his "solution" of just wearing a brace for 3 months without movement/exercise. After that I saw another Hand specialist outside of TCO (Allina). He actually spent about 30 minutes in the room with me. Listed about my left hand. Found out I had a torn ligament and my bones were no longer in their correct place. I'll never go to TCO again. read more

My review is regarding customer service in billing. On 11/10/22 I called to arrange a payment plan on a 600.00 bill. I asked if I could create an auto payment of 50.00 each month. She said it'd have to be 106.00 a month and that would be the best she could do or 53.00 every 2 weeks. I explained my hardship and she showed no empathy. I said I couldn't do that and I would have to call back. She said, "Ok" as though she really didn't give a crap about me making an effort to take care of my bill. Sooooo, unprofessional!! That really was discouraging and really wished I would of gotten her name. The care there was excellent. Michelle W-T read more

I have arthritis in my neck and my neck was forward on my shoulders by 7 inches. I went to TCO Oak Park heights and saw Kaitlyn Rolando MS, PA-C. They took an X-ray of my neck. Kaitlyn looked at the X-Ray and said to me "there is nothing that can be done for you, come back when you can't breathe." THANK GOD I found TRIA they are helping me and my neck position is getting better all the time. I would definitely not recommend this person at TCO. read more

Dr Frank Norberg performed a reverse shoulder replacement on my severely damaged shoulder joint. His work was outstanding and my results are beyond my expectations. His follow up and communication skills before and after surgery were excellent. I would highly recommend him to anyone with shoulder issues. His office staff and support personnel also did an outstanding job scheduling all my procedures and appointments. read more

They charged me two times for the same diagnosis and refused to give me a credit or to even call me back to discuss. I left multiple messages. Eventually enough time passed without hearing from them that I received a notice they were sending the bill to a collections agency. I ended up paying it to preserve my credit but how morally wrong!! They should be ashamed of themselves doing this to people. read more

Dr. Justin A.Walker at TCO - DO NOT GO TO THIS MAN for your orthopedic needs!!!! He assured me at my initial surgery that he was confident he could fix my broken hip. He put in wrong size screw & Made me wait 6+ months before he would fix it. always late to appointments & not once did he apologize. I was adamant in the hospital following my surgery that something was wrong & his team & him did nothing to fix it. Avoid this place at all costs!!! read more

Had to use TCO Urgent Care today after an injury to my foot. I was greated warmly and offered an ice pack right away! I was quickly checked in and then called back about 5 minutes later. Everyone was very nice from the MA, the X-ray techs, and most of all Dr. Klempke. I definitely was well cared for and all helped me keep my humor. So I hobbled out on my broken foot with a smile on my face. read more

Poor customer service from the orthopedic surgeon and orthotist, all the way down to the PT guy who handled my ankle surgery, custom orthotic and rehab. I've had medical care from the Mayo Clinic for the past 5-6 years and I know what excellent medical looks like. I did NOT receive excellent medical care at Twin Cities Orthopedics Burnsville. From doctors not showing up to appointments (sent PA in instead to inform me that I needed ANOTHER ANKLE FUSION!! This is serious stuff and he didn't even show up to tell me this himself!! Seriously dude?!?) The orthotist was supposed to order my orthotic- a 2/3 week process. After inquiring repeatedly for a week if the order was in, I finally get the snippy billing department person on the phone who claims she sent multiple messages to me! Really?!? There's no record on my cell or land line that she called. When I went in to see if I needed another fitting? Trip #2 that day, I get presented with paper work to sign off on my agreement to pay the difference between my 80% allowable through insurance and the 20% portion I agree to pay out of pocket. All they cared about, in my opinion, throughout this entire process, was the dollars they could soak me for! And so I close with words for the CEO that TCO BURNSVILLE needs to work up to the words he writes in their brochure! read more

Twin Cities Orthopedics - Brochure on Patient Satisfaction by TCO CEO - Orthopedists Near Me - Edina, Minnesota

Dr Sherman at TCO did an ALIF fusion on my lower back for degenerative disc disease and ended up cutting the nerves that control my ejaculate. I now have retrograde ejaculation, which means that my sperm/semen now shoot backwards into my bladder instead of out. Besides the obvious downsides, I also may now not be able to ever father children as a result of their incompetence. I would NEVER recommend this procedure to any guy around my age or younger (I'm 38). I am beyond frustrated with TCO, after talking with a Urologist today, he said this risk is actually common with this specific procedure (which was NOT relayed to me by TCO in advance), and that it may be permanent. On top of it all, my original back pain is even worse now than before my surgery.! You gotta wonder if they know how to do this surgery safely, or if it was even the best procedure for me and my situation. Men, go to TCO at your own risk! You've been warned!!! read more

Advice - if they make you wait more than 20 minutes, leave. Better advice - see someone else. Anyone else. 9:20 am and the waiting room is full of people waiting much longer than the 20 minutes I've already done. I let the receptionist know and then I left. As a prior medical professional of 30 years, I can tell you, this is not normal. It is rude and completely disrespectful of the patients' time. The culture of this company is rotten to the core. The ONLY way to fix it is if each and every patient gets up at leaves once it is 20 minutes past their wait time. I can guarantee you their abusive behavior will magically fix itself, because they cannot charge for appointments that didn't happen unless they want to be caught up in fraud charges by the state and the state medical board. Better yet, don't even both trying to see these folks. The reviews tell the story plan enough: they have zero respect for the people they claim to serve. read more

In 2017 while treating with Dr. Bakker for a torn rotator cuff, I was referred to Dr. Wulf for my knees. X-rays revealed I was bilaterally bone on bone eventually requiring both to be fully replaced. I am 4 weeks post-op from my first replacement and I couldn't be happier. Surgery was performed at the Crosstown Surgery Center, which is so much more relaxing and less complicated than a hospital. Dr. Wulf and his office and surgery team, all the way to the physical therapist, has a genuine interest in my well-being. Every single person in my treatment pod makes me feel peaceful. This is the same for Dr. Bakker and his team when treating my shoulder. For any orthopedic needs, I highly recommend using Twin Cities Orthopedics. When I go there for treatment, I feel like a close friend is doing all they can to make me feel better. read more

Dr Hunt was very professional and helpful. It is nice to go to a health care provider and not feel like you are being talked down to. He understood my issues and investigated to ensure there were no other issues. He and his assistant were very helpful and were junice people. read more

Don't bother having thumb fusion surgery as I was only given 20 pain pills. The nurse said they didn't want me to get addicted after 2 days! The pain was horrible and lasted for several weeks. I've never seen such non-interest in suffering. I was told to take Tylenol after being on Percoset. That is wrong care. To make matters worse, I found out not all the arthritis was removed! read more

Dr Owen O'Neill did my knee surgery he was fab . He listens and helps you thru the process. I would recommend him in a heartbeat.

I had two hip replacements done using the Birmingham method at TCO. One fractured my femur and the other is a moderate success at best. I was not given full information and was actually told by 2 other TCO surgeons that they used to use that method but don't any more. One wouldn't tell me why. The other one told me because of the greater possibility of fracture of the femur he discontinued the use of this method. As well as the possibility of metallosis because it is metal on metal and the fact that it is a more difficult surgery. I wanted to be able to play racquetball and tennis and could have done that with a typical total hip replacement but I was not told that by the surgeon. There are many more improprieties that I would share if you are interested. read more

you can't even get past the RUDE schedulers to make it into this place. schedulers for prosthetics and orthotics are the worst. they must hate their job....i called to get some information and the woman i spoke to proceeded to tell me how to go into their website and find the information. could have just given me the fax number i was looking for. also, they now require that you get a signed form from your doctor (schedule proceeded to ask me if my doctor had completed this ONE PAGE FORM all the way up from the top to the bottom. They refuse to even make an appointment for you unless they have this form, along with medical records. ALL OF THIS FOR YOUR FOOT. Not even seeing a doctor. WORST EXPERIENCE. TRIA HAS THE BEST SCHEDULERS. THEY HAVE THE BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE. MAYBE TCO SHOULD SEND THEIR SCHEDULERS TO TRIA FOR TRAINING. read more

I had spinal fusion surgery in November. I was sold on their excel program months before I was set to go into surgery. a couple weeks before surgery they called and moved my surgery date a month out and I was told I wasn't going to be having the excel surgery in eagan and having it in a regular hospital. I had a bad gut feeling. Dr. Crowe was my surgeon, he didn't come to see me after my surgery and I was discharged less than 24 hours after arriving in terrible pain. I was not contacted after surgery to see how I was doing. I had to contact them. I've had less than one month of mediocre physical therapy and at month 4, have no further contact with TCO. I've contacted the nurse who tells me to make an appt if I am still having issues. None of this seems like a realistic process to me For this type of surgery. My advice, go somewhere else where you feel you will be cared for. if you have a gut feeling about the doc or anything, switch until you feel comfortable. read more

I called to make a follow appt because my ankle pain made it difficult to walk. It was a long wait until the phone was answered. The appointment desk said they couldn't make an appointment because I had a balance after insurance payment. So she transferred me to the business office. The business office said there was no balance and they would remove the flag. She sent me back to the appointment desk where I was caller number 4 and had to wait a long time again before the phone was answered in order to make an appointment, LONG WAITS TO GET AN ANSWER TO SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT. I HAD TO WAIT TWICE. It sounds like TCO flags your account to not accept appointments until balances are paid in full. I told the appointment desk that I was in a lot of pain and really needed to see the doctor. SHE SAID NO APPOINTMENTS CAN BE MADE UNTIL BALANCES ARE PAID IN FULL. It had been around $40 and I paid it a few weeks ago. read more

I have nothing bad to say about my experience at TCO. Everyone is friendly, kind and the physicians are so experienced and knowledgeable. Some of the surgeons have longer wait times simply due to the demand. I have never been disappointed with the care I get. The walk in urgent care is also quite fast and has excellent service on the weekends. read more

Horrendous scheduling. Loooong wait times, during which you are treated to ads being yelled into your ear on a loop, over and over. Why not have a little respect for your clients and set the wait time audio to inoffensive music, so the client can continue working while waiting for an agent? read more

I have had to go to TCO on several occasions, because of my insurance. They literally did not care at all ever. One time I actually had a provider tell me it it really hurt the pain would be on the other side after he x-rayed it. I ended up having surgery at another facility for a bone spur. Same thing with my knee, "nothing is wrong" and I had a torn meniscus. But the worst I think is them giving me a wrist brace, making me pay the 40 dollars out of pocket and then charging my Insurance company and keeping the money. Which is total fraud. Avoid at all costs. read more

If I could give zero stars, I would. I had a total knee replacement at TCO 22 months ago and throughout the course of my time as a patient at TCO I was laughed at, yelled at, talked down to, and ignored. Patient portal messages were returned haphazardly and sometimes didn't answer questions I'd asked. Once I never received a reply. I spent 5 months in TCO post-op PT with no results because I had Complex Regional Pain Syndrome that my TCO PA and surgeon did not recognize or diagnose. My primary care physician had to refer me to a different orthopedic group for me to get the help I needed. Since leaving TCO, I've spent almost a year and a half getting nerve blocks, experimenting with different types and doses of prescription medications, and going to 2 different, specialized PTs several times a week. My end result is having to get a DRG spinal cord implant because TCO did not recognize that their total knee replacement surgery resulted in my having Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, and I was left untreated for too long to reverse it. In my opinion, TCO was negligent with my care and now I have a life-long disability. I do not recommend TCO, not even one star's worth. And TCO, please do not tell me to address my concerns with your "Patient Advocate," because I reached out to them twice and they never responded. read more

There were a few people in the waiting room (patients) not wearing masks - and no staff provided them with masks or told them they needed to wear masks. I had to wait for the dr. for 1 1/2 hours after my scheduled appointment time. The dr. insisted on an xray that day even though I had sent them a recent one from another provider which clearly showed my medical issue. I was asked to put on shorts for the xray despite the fact that shorts cover the same area that my pants would have for the xray (plus xrays can see through clothing). Overall was provided with insufficient and sometimes conflicting information between the dr. and the printed packet I was given. The dr. seemed unaware of their current COVID testing protocols for surgery. I did not feel well cared for and am using a different provider moving forward. read more
