I saw John F. again today, and I have had more positive gains in three visits with John than with…read moreany other prosthetist. Last week John gave me a soft outer sleeve on my left "leg" to replace a very tight top on my former outer sleeve, and that "fix" made donning and doffing my left prosthetic leg SO MUCH easier !!! Today I got the same type of soft outer sleeve on my right prosthesis. Then John just listened to my complaints and radical hypotheses about how hard it is for me to get into and out of our car. My right knee has been replaced, and bends to almost 130 degrees. However, my left leg has about 30 degrees of range of motion and makes it hard to get into and out of our car. Hypothesis #1 - What if he gave me size 13 -vs - size 15 feet? That would take about an inch from the front of my shoes and this make it easier for me to get into and out of the car. Hypothesis #2 - What he took an inch off the pylon in my prosthetic legs - that also would make it easier for me to get into and out of the car. Then John took my left leg and said he would return shortly. He returned five minutes later and said, "That leg is 1-1/8 inch shorter than before." John then disappeared with my right leg, returning with a grin from ear to ear. I have had multiple small sections removed from my prostheses over the eleven years I have had them, so I am no longer six feet and 1-1/2 inches tall. It does not matter to me any more. Convenience is what matters at 78-3/4 years of age. Thanks, John, for being able to see that the "box" is just a construct used to describe a problem space. I appreciate our 90 minutes together today, and am very happy to be able to leave a great review for a creative, problem-solving prosthetist.

Warning: lengthy review ahead. Excellent experiences deserve recognition!…read more First impression: Tammy at the front dest was very kind and professional. Due to covid measures in place, they are doing very well with maintaining cleanliness. Tammy wiped the mock pen and signature pad off for me to ensure it was sanitary. I informed her I only used the pen to sign and she immediately wiped off the pad and pen in preparation for the next guest. They escort you into a room immediately to avoid congestion in the common area, all the seats in the waiting room have been removed to promote this. Provider/fitting: John F was the CPO that was assigned to check out my feet. My first visit involved sizing up my foot, getting measurements, having me walk to see how my feet touch the ground, then placing them in this soft foam to get an impression of my feet. This is to help get the real shape of my foot to make the inserts. He pulled out a catalog and went over shoe choices with me. He was very knowledgeable on which shoes would best match me. He would point to a pair as a possibility then debate on whether or not it would be a good fit. It didn't take long and we both agreed on a pair of NB (New Balance) that were also visually pleasing. I was informed it would take a few weeks to receive. Pick up: Less than a month later I received a call to come in and pick up my treasured items! I received an appointment relatively quickly and it was about a month from the initial appointment to pick up. Once again proper COVID measures were in place, Tammy remembered me from the first visit and escorted me into the room right away. John F and Georgann (I hope I spelled that correctly) came into the room with a shoe box in hand. He explained the inserts, what to do to break in my shoes to not overwhelm my feet, then helped me put them on. (I really liked the blue tool used on the heel to assist the foot into the shoe.) I walked the catwalk to test them out and was satisfied with the feel. I asked Georgann if she'd like to see my feet to get an idea of why I was there, and John explained parts of my feet to her while patiently answering my questions on what they look for. I was impressed at how professional he was explaining my feet without making me feel insecure or bad about them. On my way out I sanitized my hands and Tammy hit the button so the door opens automatically therefore avoiding contact with the door. Overall impression: I highly recommend coming here if you're in need of prosthetics or orthotics. Long review? Yes. I want others to know what a great experience I had and how painless the process is for those that are hesitant to make an appointment. Location: This is located right next to Mercy Hospital off of Coon Rapids Blvd NW on the corner near the main road. The parking lot has plenty of parking and the front row is for patients of that building only. Once inside the building head straight back and it will be the door at the end of the hallway.

I had been seeing this doctor for over a year for hip pain. 3 injections, physical therapy…read moresessions, offered no help. He never showed me the xray results then, nor again two weeks ago. He never described what he saw in those xrays! " I can not operate until A1C is below 8" was his advice. Thank goodness I found a different health group and was told that RECONSTRUCTIVE hip surgery is going to be required, not just hip replacement. Now this is really bad news!, TCO NEVER shared the extent of damage the xray showed!!!! My leg is now shorter because the ball joint is pushing up higher into my skeletal frame. And that a doctor with extended training will have to perform surgery.(when a1c is lowered) This doctor was encouraging and supportive and spent 45 min. guiding me through my difficulty.

I received the worst incorrect diagnosis imaginable that could cost me my life from this…read moreincompetent place. I was recently seen at this clinic for extreme back pain. Despite providing them with my entire medical history which included breast cancer, this clinic ignored my health history information. I was barely examined by their practitioner during the less than ten minute appointment. They prescribed steroids and physical therapy for my back pain. After completing the steroids, the pain worsened. I canceled the physical therapy and sought a second opinion at Summit Orthopedics in Plymouth. They immediately ordered an MRI which revealed a metastasized cancerous tumor on my fractured 8T and 9T vertebraes. If an orthopedic clinic cannot properly diagnose a fractured spine, that is probably the first clue they are incompetent!!! I was hospitalized immediately under an emergency basis as my spinal cord was at risk for serious injury leading to paralysis. Had it not been for Summit Orthopedics in Plymouth, I could have been further injured and paralyzed. Also, a metastatic cancer on my spine would have gone undetected. Twin Cities Orthopedics is the epitome of incompetent orthopedic medicine. I cannot overly emphasize the danger they put me in with my health and life through their gross medical incompetence. Please benefit from my experience and do not put your health and life in danger. Avoid this place at all costs.
