My wife made her decision and I forced her to go through with it. The old Joni Mitchell song comes to mind when you are faced with this situation. "Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got till it's gone." When you can't walk without pain and you start to change your lifestyle because of it, it tips the scales in favor of surgery. She heard through the grapevine about Dr. J. Chris Coetzee. She had the surgery three weeks ago. The clinic at the University of Minnesota campus was professional, friendly, and very caring. They listened to her fears and concerns and made adjustments. She came home very satisfied. They answered the calls that night when the pain increased and did what they could to help us through the difficult period. But the information they gave us on what to expect was accurate and did not pull any punches. We went back and saw Larry, the PA, after two weeks and he treated her with respect and tenderness as he removed the dressing and stitches. She is still recovering, but she is very thankful up to this point to have had such good care.

Dr Heller did a knee replacement several years ago and I've had no problems. By the second day I…read morewas walking without help and almost no pain . He does the surgery from the side rather than the top and as a result I can kneel on hard surfaces without pain . A friend had it done through the top and is unable to kneel without pain . Part of why I am so favorable to Dr. Heller is his staff , I have never irked with a more professional group. I see there is a one star review and all I can say is from the comments I wonder how much the patient is at fault plus all bodies are different and while the doctor does everything right the results are less favorable. I would like to see a follow up comment after he is done with Mayo.

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.
