Dr. Timothy Panek, MD

I had both hips replaced by Dr Panek. One in 2019 and the other in 2020. He explained everything clearly and answered all my questions. Both of my surgeries were a success. I’m pain free! I highly recommend Dr Panek!!

Dr. Panek has been excellent. I had my left hip replaced in January, 2020. We had a complication with the femur bone cracking a little bit, but Dr. Panek explained everything to me and placed a titanium ring around the femur bone to keep it solid. Recovery was a bit longer than normal, but I have been walking with no pain in my left hip for many months now.

Great experience. He is extremely patient, friendly and explains surgical consequences thoroughly. I would give him my highest rating and would recommend him wholeheartedly to others.

Dr. Panek was compassionate and competent.

Dr. Panek is an excellent surgeon. He has repaired meniscus tears in both knees as well as a knee replacement. He is kind, compassionate, takes time to listen to you as if you were his only patient. His skills and knowledge are amazing. I wouldn't trust anyone else.

Timely, friendly, professional and all options discussed. Dr. Panek is great. Gentle, kind and very thorough.

A wonderful experience with these guys. Very knowledgeable and caring. I’d recommend them anytime.

Replaced my knee and hip. Excellent care

I recently had a hip replacement by Dr. Panek. My care from the initial appointment, through the surgery, and post-surgery was exceptional. I believe that he is a gifted surgeon and each staff person that I encountered was of the highest caliber. My hospital (Woodwinds in Woodbury) stay was remarkable as well. I work in health care and readily recognize when medical care is of the highest order. I would recommend Dr. Panek without reservation. My sister was with me during and after the surgery. She had both hips replaced in California (where she lives) and was equally impressed with the care I received. She probably will need a knee replacement and believes she will come to Dr. Panek for that surgery. I am so grateful. ~Mary J Pietrini, Woodbury, MN

Dr. Panek and his team at TCO have been working with me for years with my knee issues. It all came to a head in April 2019 when we needed to do a total knee replacement. I couldn't be happier with the care I received at the clinic, the surgery suite, the follow up care facility and the PT center. The entire TCO team has been very helpful and supportive as I have recovered. I would recommend Dr. Panek and his team, and the Excel program to anyone considering a knee replacement. - Andy Lieffort

Dr. Panel gave me two new hips last year, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. He and his team gave me excellent advice and care before, during and after both surgeries.

So far he has been great after surgery i will see how that goes

I recently went in to see Dr Panek with hip pain. I thought I was dealing with a strained groin muscle but it turned out that I was in great need of a hip replacement. Dr Panek was so understanding when giving me this unexpected news. He answered all my questions and has a wonderful bedside manner. I am a few weeks in to my recovery and all is going awesome. He did a wonderful job and I am healing nicely. I unfortunately need a second hip replacement and totally trust him to handle this.
