Dr. Edwin Michael Tingstad, MD

Dr. Tingstad called me at home prior to my shoulder surgery to inquire about how I was doing and if there was anything he could do. I don’t remember many details about the the surgery itself but he was present as soon I regained consciousness with reassuring words. He checked on me the following day and then released me. The day following my release he called me at home to see how I was doing. Big thumbs up for Dr. Tingstad.

I came to see him--he gave me an unloading brace--what a blessing. Then I chickened out of my steroid shot, but was told they understood and I could drop in at a later date if the pain became to much--I did that and could not get in then two appointments were made which could not be kept do to their error--then they said I could come in on the day I was suppose to leave for a trip--I would lose all of my money for the reservations I had made--unfair to say the least--one appointment was for a Thurs @ 4 pm I showed and there was still someone ahead of me who had not been seen and their appointment was at 315 I could not stay--I told them when I made the appointment I would be leaving work and could not hang out for hours--so they scheduled me an appointment for the next Monday but I got a call saying they could not see me then either--this shot takes two minutes to administer--I realize I was the one who chickened out of the first one , but the way I have been treated since is unacceptable--is it because my insurance is through Molinas? because you are going to be reimbursed by State Farm as well plz explain to me what I have to do to be treated like a human being!

He explained everything to me in great detail.

I received arthroscopic surgery on my knee to remove debris and clean arthritis deposits. Dr. Tingstad was extremely competent in his diagnosis and surgical procedures. Before and after surgery I received the best patient care I have ever had. I had a lengthy pre-surgery visit by Dr. Tingstad and the same after surgery. My wife and I were served breakfast immediately after in the recover room, as well as all the juice we cared for. Unfortunately I am well qualified to make the above statement, having previously had orthopedic procedures at UCLA medical Center, Campbell Clinic in Memphis, Loma Linda in California and Kerlan Jobe in California. All of these facilities are considered to be top of the line facilities and utilized by professional athletes.

So glad I went to Dr. Tingstad! After several doctors he was the only person who figured out what was causing my knee pain post surgery. He was always very courteous and answered all questions I had. He made sure I knew the issue and provided me with several options for treatment.

Came in to be seen for my knee, dr. Things tad lectured me about depression,alcoholism, and my marriage. None of these needed to be addressed. I am happily married and only drink 1-2 beers per month (in the summer) never did he address my knees. Huge waste of my time

Dr. Tingstad is a doctor of the 'old school' in that he expects the patient to do their part in preparing for surgery and then following up with the prescribed physical therapy. He performed a total knee replacement on me and it was flawless. Pre-operative PT helped prepare me for the surgery. His surgical skill, his using a computer-assisted method to insure proper replacement knee alignment and then his prescribing a CPM machine for follow up to aid in recovering flex for the replacement resulted in a surgery that after eight weeks of recovery I'm walking, unassisted, a mile daily. I expect to hit his prescribed two miles within a couple of weeks. Doctor Tingstad is a very caring and skillful surgeon. I highly recommend him to anyone that requires surgery of this type.

I have had two knees replaced by Dr. Tingstad. He is very caring and clearly understands my desire to remain active. Dr. Tingstad is oriented toward sports since he serves as a team doctor for area universities. He prescribed preparatory PT before my surgeries and that really made recovery a lot easier. A wonderful member of the community and a great asset.

I had a torn rotator cuff/labrum repaired and several years later a torn meniscus repair and microfracture of my knee to repair a large trochlear cartilage defect. Dr. Tingstad is an extremely caring human being, a gifted surgeon, and a huge asset to the commnunity (not to mention the WSU sports teams!). His staff is also quite wonsdeful. I have the great results to prove it!

If you are concerned about your health and you are trying to do your best, do not go here, unless you are sure your a surgeon case. No sympathy here. Told me to bike on a treadmill 50 mins. a day, no matter what the swelling or pain levels are, to try to increase blood flow to the problem area. I think this is a bit dramatic for anyone with an injury!
