A wrist fusion involves joining bones of the wrist together to help improve their alignment. Typically, this surgery is performed as a treatment for arthritis in the wrist. It allows the bones to form and grow into one solid bone, which can help.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the staff at this clinic! They are so friendly and are always making sure they are helping you feel better. They aren't about rushing you in and out of physical therapy. They work with you and see you until you feel better and they remember their patients and remember our families from chatting about them during the visit. It is wonderful.

I have seen Dr. Swanson several times and have never been disappointed, he is caring and thorough. St Peter Rivers Edge is the most wonderful hospital I have been admitted to The facility is great and the staff cared about me as a person. Thanks to OFC and Rivers Edge for a wonderful experience with getting my 'new' knee.

My experience was great. Staff was very helpful and nice. Dr. Swanson was always easy to get ahold of if I needed anything or had any questions. He explained everything very well, so that I could understand what to expect in my surgery and recovery.

I see Doc Botker and his staff at the Windom Area Health Outpatient Clinic. They are always courtesous, helpful and caring. This is one Doc I don't mind waiting for. He's worth the wait and knows his profession inside and out! I wouldn't go to anyone else for my shoulders. I love my Doctor and his staff!

My surgery has been a life changing experience! Eight weeks ago I had a double knee replacement surgery, performed by Dr. Kyle Swanson at River's Edge Hospital in St. Peter. The experience with Dr. Swanson, the Orthopedic & Fracture Clinic's staff, River's Edge Hospital was truly 5 star. The recovery time has been less than I initially expected. However, I diligently followed the exercises recommended and faithfully my Physical Therapy appointments. I wish I would have had the courage to do this surgery years ago. I am finally looking forward to living life to the fullest.

My experience with OFC has always been very good. I went in for pain in my left hip. Dr Stevens checked my symptoms and x-rays and did a shot in my hip. The pain left in about two days and in the past these would last 3 to maybe 4 months. Hoping my results last and then hoping the next step will be shot or another type of relief. Thank you Cheri Miller

I usually see Dr Matson at his satellite location in Redwood Falls. He is a great doctor. He at first seems stand-offish but that changes as treatment goes on. I appreciate his honesty and his desire to come up with the best solution possible. I would recommend him to anyone that is having an orthopedic need.

Dr Matson has done an excellent job with my broken humerus and was very prompt with necessary work comp paperwork. He is very attentive, willing to answer any question and has a great sense of humor. Thank you Sir! The staff at the front desk was a little ditzy but friendly and the hospital in St Peter was fantastic, both property and staff.

I have been a patient of Dr. Stevens for over three years and he has always been wonderful. He makes me feel like he actually cares about me as a person and not just a patient. He even listens to me ramble on while he is sticking the cortisone needle in,

The hospital in St. Peter is the nicest hospital I have ever been in. The staff that will be working on my knee is a very experienced and professional staff. I can't say I'm exactly looking forward to having surgery, they did my right knee and I won't lie, it is a painful process to once again live life without pain. It will be nice when I have it behind me.

I'd give no stars if I could. They didn't care to take my situation seriously. I requested that all my medical records be there for my visit and nothing was ready. AFTER seeing Dr. Springer, I left with more questions on my condition than when I arrived. I was in a major MVA and had major surgery 8 months ago and haven't worked since.

He expected that I return to work with no restrictions at 40 hours per week with no time to even ease into working again. (He was not my original dr.) which is why I wanted all my medical records available to him. I expressed ongoing chronic pain/nerve damage. I never got a clear answer on what could be wrong. He said "could be this or that". Of course after my first time seeing him he is out of the office for the day and the entire following week.

So when I called to clarify a few things the same day of my appointment I was told I would have to wait a week! This place is NOT caring of each individual person I felt rushed and in the end I have more stress on my situation than when I arrived.

Thanks to you, Dr. Scott Allen, for a very thorough and informative exam last week. I appreciated your insights and recommendations and look forward to my upcoming PT appointments at OFC.

I recently was seen by Dr Allen for an injury. I was impressed with his knowledge, skill and mannerism. It was easy to discuss my injury, treatment and concerns with Dr. Allen. I would recommend his services and think he is a good addition to the practice.

Met with Dr. Scott Allen. He was very professional, but yet down to earth. I will be seeing him again and would recommend him to others.

I am so thankful for the OFC staff, especially Dr. Jones and also Jen Cousins, for assessing my need for surgery, for quickly paving the wave without delays or hesitation, for performing the surgery so skillfully and with immediate results, and for excellent followup care. I am extremely grateful for having what was unbearable pain, along with weakness and numbness, totally removed, and for strength and normal sensation restored.

The process was explained and day of surgery implemented. The incredible staff was efficient in my continued care. They were extremely busy - but I was never made to feel like

Dr. Jones and Dr. Cousins are the best team ever. I followed there instructions after surgery they made me feel like a rock star telling me I'm doing exactly what I am supposed to be doing. All staff and nurses are the best. Physical therapy people I can't say enough about them they always greet by your name. They work you hard but are getting me back on my feet. Highly-rated.

The staff was so nice and helpful. Dr. Matson listened to my concerns and was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Billy, my therapist was great, he gave clear instructions and created a plan with me that will get me back on the course by spring! Thank you so much!
