Tj Ridley's Online Review Report Card

On June 25, 2022 I tore my hamstring muscle off of the bone! Didn’t even know this was a thing! My primary care clinic referred me to Twin Cities Orthopedics due to the amount of pain I was experiencing. From the moment I walked into TCO, I felt their compassion and care. I was in excruciating pain and I was scared. My surgery was performed on July 8th. Everyone from the receptionists, MRI techs, PT staff and especially Dr. Ridley and his care team showered me with personal care. If I had a concern I could call anytime and Dr. Ridley himself called me back. He listened intently and never made my appointments or phone calls feel rushed. This injury calls for a long recovery. It is now November. I have come a long way and know that I still have work to do, but with TCO and their staff I have confidence to continue moving forward and getting stronger! Thanks Dr. Ridley!

Seemed very inexperienced. Also, very rude and clearly did not care about treating me. I had to seek care from a different provider that next day.

Caring, knowledgeable easy to talj too...

Dr Ridley clearly communicated my options for treatment and allowed time for my questions. Very optimistic post surgery because there weren't any surprises along the way. Also you're lucky to be supported by the great staff at TCO Blaine, as I was!

Honestly by far the best surgery experience I've had to date with myself or any of my children! From the cleanliness, the staff's friendliness, the quickness of getting us in and out, the knowledge of everyone including front desk staff/doctors/nurses and the efficiency of the doctor and nurses after surgery to get us on our way and not keep us waiting around. Seriously 5 stars! Way to go TCO!!

Dr. Ridley was there on the field the night of my injury. That night, he told me the possible outcomes and gave me the support I needed. In the consultation appointments that followed, he gave me information of what was to come. After surgery to reconstruct my ACL and LCL with a meniscus repair, he had a clear plan on what I needed to do to recover. Dr. Ridley was there for every step and was supportive in so many ways!

After being told I needed a shoulder replacement; I began my research finding an orthopedic surgeon at Twin Cities Orthopedics. I narrowed it down, and my choice was Dr. TJ Ridley. His reviews were excellent, and he had extensive experience in shoulder surgery. He was straight forward and never sugar coated anything. I went through the EXCEL Program at the TCO Blaine location. Dr. Ridley and his surgical team were outstanding! The recovery suite staff were excellent! I am doing great! I give Dr. TJ Ridley 5 stars! Thank you, Dr. Ridley, for your excellent care!!

My grandson, Malachi, had injured his knee playing lacrosse, dislocating his kneecap for the 4th time. I brought him to the emergency room where they x-rayed his knee. The x-ray had shown his injured dislocated kneecap. The hospital then referred us to Twin Cities Orthopedics where Malachi had an MRI that showed his torn ligament. We met with Dr. Ridley and he explained what Malachi’s injury was, then showed us the x-ray and MRI and how he would fix Malachi’s knee. The surgery was a success and the recovery has been remarkable! From the beginning of the process to the end, TCO has been fantastic. I highly recommend Dr. Ridley for his skill and for taking his time to explain what happened and how he was going to repair Malachi’s knee. TCO’s therapy staff has taken a very positive approach to getting his strength and mobility back. Twin Cities Orthopedics has a five-star rating from Malachi and I.

Efficient, professional and helpful, managing my shoulder injury.

Dr. Ridley went above and beyond with the repair of my labrum in my hip! He was amazing with the whole process from the first consult, to 3 months post operation. Also, he is amazingly personable and genuinely cares for his patients. I definitely recommend him!
