  2. In need of surgery not more physical therapy… pretty much told that because the pain isn’t where it’s supposed to be for a labrum tear that it was more muscle problem… I had physical therapy before for 6 months and it didn’t help so why …

  3. I and up,hand and lower back pain from my work,so i went st cloud orthopedic sartell seen two doctor for my hand and for my back,back doctor was ok,for my hand doctor windstrom he do not care ,he say you ok,i went different doctor for my …

  4. Avoid St Cloud Orthopedics. Appointments are difficult to schedule. The wait to see a doctor can be as much as an hour. It could take a month to even get an appointment. They cancel appointments and do not contact you. Overall they are unhelpful.

  5. I went to st cloud orthopedics because of shoulder pain. I was diagnosed with a labral tear and instructed to do physical therapy. I went through physical therapy and it did not improve, so I came back and was again instructed to do …

  6. Dr. Paul Meirick was very good, he explained what he was going to do and the cortisone shot in the hip was very good. I only felt a little “stick” and it was over.

  7. Dr marash did a excellent job on my foot surgery was excellent hardly any pain after the techs in back did a great job with putting on the splints and then the cast made sure it was comfortable as possible

  8. Unfortunately I have been in need of Orthopedic service several times in the past several years and I have never had a bad experience !! All staff and providers are amazing , I will never choose another Orthopedic Clinic!

  9. Not a good experience so far my elderly friend needs a hip replacement he was told he couldn’t get in until March and that he should cut back on his pain meds. He is in severe pain, can hardly walk and they don’t seem to care. Heart breaking to see this elderly gentleman go through this!!

  10. I had two appointments yesterday..1 at the orthopedic clinic and 1at the Sports center.. Both appts were quick and staff was awesome 👍..I’m having surgery soon for a Disc replacement.. …

  11. Horrible wait times. I am the second patient of the day and the doctor is already 15 minutes late for my appointment. I don’t understand how inefficient this place is ran. Obviously the doctors need more time for appointments because it’s rude to make a person wait a half hour to see the doctor.

  12. Dr. Mariash has been very patient and helpful. I did get a second opinion from an orthopedic foot surgeon in the cities and he confirmed he would do what Mariash wanted to do. It was identical. I’m choosing to stick with Dr. Mariash.

  13. If you don’t like sitting in exam rooms for 35-45 minutes staring at the walls, AVOID! These people have a lot of nerve calling themselves professionals. Very unprofessional and treat patients like cattle.

  14. Dr.holton is one of the best doctors I have ever gone to…he is friendly and tells u straight forward …that’s what I love about him and he cares about his patients and it shows

  15. I’ve had invasive surgery on both feet now with Dr. Mariash and he is an awesome surgeon!!! Unbelievable that i had minimal pain for one day after this surgery, and no pain since. He is genuine, caring and listens to you.

  16. NO one ever answers the phone calls or returns messages. I have called 5 or 6 times in 10 days and have NEVER gotten through to a person to schedule an appointment. I have left 4 voicemails and NOT one return call. Might have to look for another orthopedics business in the area today!

  17. Do not trust St Cloud Orthopedics and especially do not trust Dr. Kevin McCann with your care. I have never left a review before but I feel a need to warn others about this doctor. I injured my foot and had an x-Ray done at the ER. The …

  18. The experience went very well, Dr. Meireck explained everything well. I have had this doctor 4 times now and every time I was pleased with the outcome of every appointment.

  19. Dr Green is a great person who cares about his clients I would recommend him to anyone that is having total knee replacement surgery I am super happy with the way mine turned out.

  20. I am frustrated that I do not see the same person every time I visit, I have seen two P.A’s and have actually seen Dr. Kuhl only twice in a year. Each person has shared different opinions on further treatment.

  21. I have had chronic shoulder problems and have dealt with a lot of doctors over the years, the local orthopedic center in the small town where I live is pretty limited, so I drove over an hour to go to St Cloud Orthopedic, as I was told they …

  22. Didn’t wait long for my appt. Just the right amount of time for a specialist. Sara helped check me out and set up an mri that day for me as we traveled 2 hrs to. Very easy to schedule whay needs to be and Sara was a pleasure to work with. Great experience at St. Cloud Orthopedics.

  23. Hi. I was injured at my work that I love, unfortunately I’ve been extremely disappointed and frustrated with the low level of care. I find it to be generic, lack of compassion, and getting into PT has been a struggle due to Doctor and PA …

  24. Professional and knowledgeable!! Dr. Hwang cares about his patients and is thoughtful in his approach. All staff interactions were positive and accommodating.

  25. The whole process was so awesome. The staff are all friendly and patient!! They truly care about helping you feel your best! If I ever need something else fixed this is where I’d like to come.

  26. Great facility, with wonderful staff! Dr. Meirick took the time to go through my imaging with me and help me understand my situation so I could get back on the run! Thanks St. Cloud Orthopedics!

  27. Scheduling department is complete trash. Can’t schedule appointments correctly and lacks basic communication skills. Appointment scheduled for a specific date, but was changed by scheduling department without notifying patient. Patient …

  28. St. Cloud ortho is very proficient and finely tuned operation. They are efficient and the processes smooth. Staff are not overly friendly, however they are knowledgeable in their domains.

  29. Dr. Mariash is a great surgeon and has a fantastic rapport with me as a patient. He explained everything thoroughly and I felt comfortable with his diagnosis!

  30. I had my knee replaced in October last year. The surgery at St. Cloud hospital went smoothly with very competent doctors and nurses providing post op care. Dr. Schapp is an excellent surgeon. She is a compassionate skilled provider and I …

  31. I went in with a lot of questions about my injury. When I left Dr Murphy had all of them answered in a way that I could easily understand. St Cloud orthopedics is lucky to have a doctor of this quality!

  32. I recently had a total knee replacement, It is the BEST decision I could have made. I DO NOT think I could have chosen a better place to have had do this procedure and post operative care and physical therapy .My experience with the ENTIRE …

  33. Dt. Houlton did a great job of explaining my ankle options. He seems to really care about getting it fixed. If I have future issues, I’d go back and recommend him.

  34. The worst check-in process in medicine. Use the kiosk. Dont use the kiosk. Use the kiosk but disregard what it says. Then three receptionists standing and talking away from their station. Two of them talking so loudly that the third …

  35. I have always used SCO for joint replacement surgeries. Just scheduled replacement #5. This is a great clinic with very good doctors. Especially like that they operate at both the St Cloud Surgical Center and at the hospital. Nothing against hospital just like same day care at SCSC.

  36. I don’t understand why this place has such a low rating and was slightly hesitant to go here. The Sartell facilities were very clean and efficient. Dr. Green, his PA and medical assistant were great and very friendly. Nothing in orthopedics is a fast fix, but have confidence in their ability to help me and will be back.

  37. I went in as advised from the clinic and do a walk in, I did after I was able to get myself off the floor after laying there for 6 hours because my knees gave out. I have pending insurance so I was considered self pay so I had to stop at …

  38. I hurt my foot and ankle over the weekend. It’s swollen, black and blue and I cannot bend my toes. Today, I tried to make an appointment with an orthopedist that I have seen before but the receptionist said that they were booking …

  39. My wife just had her first physical therapy session. She saw a doctor a few weeks ago and he suggested to try therapy first. I would have been ok with that but this physical therapy, which I’m sure is expensive, amounted to the tech just …

  40. I had excellent results from my hip surgery with Dr. Joseph Kessler. I now walk a minimum of 2 to three miles everyday without pain. Yes, it sometimes takes longer to get an appointment…however, that is because these doctors are in …

  41. It has been a lot of years but every time I look down at my feet I know how lucky I was to meet Dr. Holton. What a great doctor with a sense of humor to match. I was working at Penney’s and on my feet all the time. Bunions don’t like that. So he fixed them up and I’ve had many years on my feet . Thanks doc.

  42. Being a systems and productivity consultant for dental/medical practices I am always looking at how a clinic functions–We had a great experience at St. Cloud Ortho…called on Saturday morning at 9am and they had us on the schedule for …

  43. Came in seeking a second opinion for extreme hip pain I’m having a year out surgery. All he did was ordered blood work and a MRI. He wouldn’t even give me a cortisone shot. I can’t wait to see what happens next

  44. Just a great experience all around from the people at the front to my interaction with the doctor. My husband and son both had major surgery with this practice years ago now its moms turn. Keeping it in the family 😏 …

  45. Amazingly quick service! I was called from the waiting room two minutes before my appointment. The transition time from the nurse taking my information and vitals until the Dr. walk into the room was less than five minutes. I was …

  46. Not a good experience for my first time here. My apt was at 1:10, and I did not get out of their until 3:00… My knee was first examined from the doctors assistant, after she was done twisting, turning, and pushing on my knee, then the …

  47. Dr. Staiger takes the time to listen to his patients. Goes over every option to make sure you get the best outcome possible. After having wrist surgeries done by other surgeons that have failed, Dr. Staiger is the 1 surgeon that I trust the most for wrist care.

  48. I have been a patient of Dr. Holton’s for 25 years now. He is great at explaining his diagnosis and begins with conservative treatment first, which I truly appreciate. He is patient and kind.

  49. Dr Staiger has been so helpful to get my wrist back to normal. He is such a caring individual never seems rushed takes his time to listen to me and gives me answers I need for reassuring me. Thank you so much for taking care of me. PS I miss your smile because of your mask!

  50. Simply put they are sexist, and I am not normally one to claim that. I went there with a knee injury and the doctor told me to just take ibuprofen. I went to another doctor that same week in the cities who recommended surgery and now my …

  51. They push X-rays that contribute to cancer so they can bill your insurance more. Remember, all carcinogenic expose is additive. I went in with a minor shoulder strain that was already 80% healed. I just wanted to know what exactly happened, …

  52. This was my first experience with St Cloud Orthopedics. Everyone was very professional, but in particular, Dr. Holton. From my initial consultation he listens and ask questions about my concerns and took all the steps necessary to give me …

  53. I’ve been seeing Dr Murphy for years. He and his PA, Kelly did a total knee replacement 12 years ago when I was only 37, and a revision this year. They made sure to do all the proper tests before operating again. I’ve always been treated with great care from the time I walk in to the time I walk out!

  54. Compassionate and kind care. Listened to and included me in decision making for my treatment plan. Would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Hiesterman and Hans. The nurses are just as incredibly caring.

  55. I went here because I had something wrong with my knee. They put me through 6 weeks of physical therapy and nothing helped it. They told me I was to young to have anything wrong with my knee. I went to get a second opinion and they ordered …

  56. St.Cloud Orthopedics was high recommend by a friend of mine who’s wife had a hip replacement. I am a 34 year old male who has been doctoring with my hip issues for about 10 years. I was excited to schedule an appointment. COVID hit and my …

  57. Dr. Holton is a true professional: he knows what he is doing and why; he communicates these details in a personal, attentive manner. I have seen him for a variety of issues and will continue to recommend him to any and all who have foot problems, simple to complex. He cares for his patients and treats them as persons, not objects!

  58. Dr. Mariash is a very good surgeon and a conscientious physician. He has a very good bedside manner and explains your condition in laymen’s terms. I would definitely see him again if needed.

  59. I have gone here on several different occasions and always have a good experience. Everyone is very professional. Dr Nessler and Dr. Eric are awesome! They explain everything to you in detail, and I always know what is needed, if anything before I leave the office.

  60. Dr. Dotterill is amazing! She shows genuine concern and explained everything perfectly so both my 14 year old son and I could easily understand. The rest of the staff were great as well. Friendly and helpful! I Highly recommend St. Cloud Orthopedics and Dr. Botterill!!

  61. I hate to give anyone a low rating because I feel we’re all trying to do the best we can but, in this case, I have to say something. Maybe it can be used as constructive criticism. I was in a car accident and was referred for physical …

  62. The Doctors I seen today were very effective and efficient also a MMA fan! What is not to love about these good people.
    I will use this honest facility any time I have any other Neck or knee issues in the future and recommend anyone who is need of a specialist as well.

  63. Dr Mulder is wonderful, He repaired the damage another surgeon had done. He takes a genuine interest in his patients, listens to his patients and works with his patients for the best outcomes, He goes above and beyond for his patients. His staff is top notch as well

  64. I caught a little bad luck after a procedure in March. Dr. Green , Dan and Dr Green’s team along with the Orthopedic staff were able to quickly diagnose the issue and put a plan together for a quick resolution. I had a great experience in a trying time.

  65. The most profound part of my personal recovery from both of my robotically assisted knee replacements was the fast recovery post op. After 3 weeks I was walking virtually without pain or major limitations in both cases. Muscle strength …

  66. I cannot be more pleased with this place. Dr. Shobe and his assistant Stefani have been incredible! I have suffered from back pain for as long as I can remember and after I had my son I just couldn’t deal with it any longer because I was …

  67. This was an overall awful experience over the past 2 years with them. First off I tore my shoulder up senior year playing football. They brought me in to do immediate surgery on my pectoral muscle that connects into your shoulder bone. …

  68. Dr. Kristen Sigurdson is a wonderful physician. She listens and really understands my medical history which is extensive and complex and incorporates this knowledge into my care. I feel very comfortable discussing my medical issues with …

  69. I had been having knee pain and went in. They suggested PT so I gave it a try. 4 weeks later it did nothing. Now I have a stress fracture in my shin bone and shouldn’t be putting weight on it. Now instead of missing maybe 2 or 3 weeks of baseball season. I will miss all of it. Staff is nice and that’s about it.

  70. This was a follow-up appointment. The measures Dr. Sigurdson had recommended were obviously working well and the pain that had brought me in the first place is gone. Dr. Sigurdson answered the few questions I had. I’m scheduled to return in one year.

  71. I saw the provider Paul Meirick MD. Paul has a wonderful bed-side manner. He was thorough and really took the time to explain what he was saying. I would highly recommend him and suggest that the St. Cloud Orthopedics hire more doctors like Paul!

  72. Dr Schaap is an excellent physician. Excellent surgeon. She is a people person that makes the patient feel relaxed. Not at all arrogant. Compassion shows with how she treats those around her. She is highly respected by the nursing staff at the hospital.

  73. 2011 I started my journey with Dr Murphy. I was referred over by my primary care provider because I was having some knee pain. Dr Murphy & Kelly listened to my concerns. Honestly I thought I would be told to ice and take it easy. They did …

  74. Enjoy Dr. Holton. He is caring and pleasant to be treated by. He did surgery on my foot 4 years ago and did a great job.I have some new issues and have been well cared for. He is extremely caring, kind and got me back on my feet.

  75. I really like all the staff. I have been there when my husband needed his rotator cuffs done. Than he had some bone scrapping. So, when I broke my arm there wasn’t a choice for me as to where I would go. I knew I needed the best, & I feel …

  76. Went in due to on going pain in my wrist, that I’ve had for years. I had surgery just over a year ago somewhere else, and since that surgery I’ve been in pain. I aggravated it further a couple weeks back. I arrived to my appointment to be …

  77. I have been seeing Dr Shobe for the last 3 years and I have had back surgery twice for different issues. He is knowledgeable, caring, listens to what my concerns are and insures I fully understands the situation. I think he is the best spine surgeon there is and I cannot recommend him any higher otherwise I would.
    Randy Murray

  78. I would rate all of the staff as excellent. This includes front door check-in help, the nurse, and the x-ray technician. They all were courteous, professional, friendly, and timely. …

  79. Was referred to them for surgery from my Dr. After waiting two months for an appointment the Dr that saw me didn’t even review my medical records or even knew why I was there. Spent less than two minutes looking at my issue after I …

  80. The staff at St. Cloud Orthopedics are fast and friendly, and take a lot of care with staff and patient safety. I appreciate the technology they use to speed up check-in. Dr. McCann takes the time to explain x-rays and answer questions. He …

  81. So beyond frustrated with the service i’ve had on every single phone call with this place. My actual i’m office experience was fine but whoever is answering the phone is completely incompetent every single time, no matter who it is, as well …

  82. Trying to make an appointment over the phone is a nightmare. Was on hold for 15 minutes. Started to make an appointment with someone and got disconnected. Did they bother to call me back? No. They had my number right there on their screen. …

  83. Waiting to see doctor is very common here, but this time it was ridiculous because we been waiting for 30 mins and no one coming, my mom has to use restroom and she is still waiting to see doctor. When I stepped out the room to find out, …

  84. So knowledgable, so caring, and takes the time to make sure you understand exactly what is going on and how to help fix it! Highly recommend and tell all my friends and family about Dr. Sigurdson! She’s gotten me through breaking bones in my feet three times and did an amazing job with my three foot surgeries.

  85. Dr. Sigurdson is great. The one downside was we waited 40 minutes in the exam room between being worked up and seeing her, even though we arrived 20 minutes early. Total time for a “short” follow up ended up being 1.5 hrs. My son was able …

  86. Bar none, the most efficient medical appointment I’ve experienced. Everyone was friendly and attentive. Even the X-ray went quickly. And Doc didn’t rush the explanations, answering all my questions. Very happy with his office!

  87. I would not recommend this office. I went in due to knee pain. I’ve had several complicated surgies in another state and I was recommend to come here. The check in process was fantastic, but once I was in with the physician he was not …

  88. Absolutely great service and staff at SCO! The convenient appointment options and caring staff helped me to make a complete recovery with my ankle injury. They walked me through the entire process and made everything much more manageable. Highly recommend!

  89. Waited 50 minutes for appt. At 9:30. Drove from baxter mn. Nurse was rude and appt was supposed to be with dr. Mcgiver however got his assistant. Did not find him professional. I did not get to ask questions he was very dismissal with me.

  90. Excellent attention starting with the superb receptionist who was super helpful. Kind and caring nurse and an exceptional caring, understanding and thorough revision on my knee by the doctor. I felt taken care of and understood. He also explained very well what was wrong and what needed to be done. Very happy with the attention.

  91. The check in process worked well. The support staff was great. Dr. Meirick is very personable; and listens to your concerns. He proposed a plan of action that I will follow.

  92. Ashley is truly a women looking out for the greatest outcome for her patients. I can say that with everything that I have been going through from a on the job injury that she has taken all the right steps to making sure I have gotten the …

  93. Very knowledgeable, informative and explained my injury in layman terms. He listened tentatively and understood my situation. Explained exactly what recovery entailed. Great bedside manner!

  94. So they wants you be on timefor appointment and when they are running behind because they like to share personal experiences with co-workers during work hours not in break room… amd we have to wait longer in hallway and when I asked front …

  95. This was as expected after reading reviews about about Cloud Orthopedics. Fantastic facility. Dr. Lauer was great. Everything was explained thoroughly and I was provided numerous visuals to get a better feel of what’s going on. Overall experience was amazing

  96. Knowledgeable and friendly doctors and nurses. This is the place to go if you need knee or replacement surgery. Their Sports Therapy people are great, if you need any kind of physical therapy, they are the ones to see. I don’t know why they call it “Sports Therapy” because I have never played sports in my life, and I go there. Lol.

  97. Worst healthcare I have ever received – I have been waiting for orthotics for over 6 months meanwhile my ankle is in pain and has a lump the size of a golf ball. SCO received my authorization to bill insurance right away but failed to send …

  98. Dr. Ashley Botterill was amazing. She listened and addressed my concerns. I did not have to wait long for the appointment or in the room to be seen. This was by far the best service I had received in the past few days compared to other facilities.

  99. Been going to this place for years now for different injuries. But lately I’ve been trying to get in for a carpal tunnel issue and I have been on a waiting list and a callback list for the last six months. I finally thought I had an …

  100. The staff was kind, compassionate, competent and friendly. All of the staff took the time to explain things and provide information when necessary. The physicians and PA’s were patient and took time to answer questions. I felt cared for and heard. We are very fortunate and blessed to have such a great clinic in St. Cloud.

  101. Dr. Mulder was great. He was pleasant to speak with and was definitely looking out for my best interest. While I didn’t get an answer on my first visit, Dr. Mulder was willing to bring other doctors in to the conversation so I’m assured that the solution will be the best answer to my complicated situation.

  102. He explained things so well. Better than I’ve had in the past. I am going the treatment he is recommending helps. I will see later this week. Update after the injection there is no more pain. It is unbelievable really. He said it could take …

  103. I really like St Cloud orthopedics with Dr Green he is a wonderful surgeon, he’s done three of my surgeries. He’s very polite doctor and he does explain everything that he’s going to do for surgery and then after surgery he explains things how it’s supposed to be and what to do I couldn’t ask for a better doctor

  104. Dr.Meirick explained the whole process throughly and answered all of my questions. He was very good at putting me at ease and I felt like he really cared about me and my health.

  105. I had a right rotator cuff repair in 2017 with an excellent recovery with Dan Ness for rehab. Left rotator cuff surgery April 2021, horrible recovery with a totally different therapy protocol. The PTA (initials CR) was rude and I ended up …

  106. Did a great job explaining what she was recommending and why. I’m an anxious person and her confident, friendly and calm demeanor was comforting.

  107. As an educator, I scheduled foot surgery during the summer on both feet. The first foot had a bunion (with an implant) and a hammer toe repaired. The other foot, 13 weeks later, also had a bunion and hammer toe repaired and also a bone spur …

  108. Dr. Mariash and the rest of the staff at St. Cloud Orthopedics are very professional and friendly. I felt very comfortable during the surgery process (lisfranc fracture) and the timeline associated with my appointments. Kaitlyn deserves a special shout out for dealing with my casts 🙂

  109. I was told today after being told I needed surgery for a fractured ankle 5 weeks ago by another clinic (Foot & Ankle Clinic) that I didn’t need surgery after all. The doctor was very helpful and very understanding to what I hoped all along. So glad not to have surgery. Get a second opinion if you don’t agree with the initial one.

  110. Dr. Meirick is a skilled and kind physician. He seems to understand and respect the challenges of patient decision-making, and offers positive regard to my thoughts and questions. I really appreciate him for that.

  111. Receptionist who is supposed to help with self check in is extremely RUDE and unprofessional. When asked for help she simply said “well I saw you start the process, go try again”. Not to mention the 2+ hour wait just to be seen for 5 minutes. Unreal.

  112. The facility had ample parking, the waiting time was less than 1 minute, and the staff was knowledgeable, courteous, helpful, genuinely concerned and tentative. Overall, it was as pleasant as a Dr. Visit could be.

  113. These docs are the best. I’ve seen three different docs over the years and gotten great treatment from them all. Appointments are on time. Staff are friendly and professional. Range of treatments is never ending.

  114. Doctor Mulder and the staff at St. Cloud Orthopedics are top notch. He’s an excellent surgeon, and personable as well. I’m very glad I had Dr. Mulder replace my knees.

  115. Dr.Holton is a very kind, caring doctor. He is very knowledgeable & thorough, with a pleasant sense of humor! I felt he really cared about the problem I came to see him about.

  116. Dr. Meirick is extremely knowledgeable, empathetic, and genuinely interested in hearing my overall concerns. His explanation was thorough, and he clearly detailed all possible treatment options and recommendations while taking my preferences into account. I am extremely satisfied as a result of this visit.

  117. The dr are good. The physical trainer are also good. The reason they are getting such a low star rating is there call in schedule department, are the worst people I got nothing but Attitude and disrespectful tone on a request for a …

  118. was with my dad for this appointment. we have no complaints. The entire staff was kind and friendly. The doctor was pleasant with a smile on her face and informative. she answered all our questions. Highly recommend the Orthopedics clinic and the doctor.
