Had a complete right knee replacement March 9th, 2026. From the first appointment with Dr. Friederichs everything was explained so well about the knee replacement process. The iovers numbing agent worked well. All the staff were so professional and kind. I appreciated the directness of what to expect and the concern of how I was feeling and doing. Was it painful ? Yes. The end result of following through with physical therapy, medications and direction from fantastic staff are wonderful.

Thank you for the kind words Marsha and so glad to hear you are doing so well!
Dr. Friederichs performed my total knee replacement Dec 2025.. I am 100% satisfied! Dr Friederichs answered all my questions. I received clear pre and post op instructions. The Iovera injection no doubt contributed to my good recovery. I am so pleased with my new knee. I highly recommend Dr Friederichs.

So glad to hear you are happy with your knee!!
My experience with OrthoDakota was positive from the minute I placed the first phone call. I recommend Dr. Friedrichs and his staff without hesitation. I was seeking my second shoulder replacement on the same shoulder---the first surgery was at a different facility and it failed within 6 months, resulting in acute pain for 18 months. Dr. Friedrichs put me at ease immediately at my first visit and we scheduled a surgery date. I am recovering so much faster than with the first one and the pain is gone. If you are considering any type of joint replacement, I urge you to visit with the staff at OrthoDakota. You will not be sorry!

So glad you found us Lynette and thank you for the great review!
Dr Friedrichs is a true professional who gave me excellent care answering all my husbands and my questions.
I met him when he took care of my teenage son when he had an abnormal growth on his leg that needed surgery.
I love how the whole staff is super friendly.
Even others in the medical profession have commented, how when they called about questions regarding my knee surgery, that they knew exactly who I was and were super friendly and very helpful.
I love working with everyone of them and would highly recommend this team if professionals.

Lisa, we so appreciate the kind words!
I saw Alex Lunneborg, PA-C, this morning for hip pain (chronic bursitis). They took xrays and gave me a nearly painless injection to help me out. I appreciate how promptly they were able to see me after my referral from my provider. I'm very happy with my visit and plan to see him again, if or when the pain comes back. Thank you.

Thank you for the great review Rosemary - we appreciate it. So happy to hear everything went well!
My mom, Trudy Such, who is 88, received a new right shoulder in July of 2025.
Same day surgery.The experience was 5 star. Within 2 weeks she was caring for herself. She plans to have her other shoulder done this coming summer.
Thank you Ortho Dakota!!

So glad to hear Trudy is doing well! Thanks for the review!
I recently had shoulder surgery with Dr. Friederichs, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. I greatly appreciate his professional candor, clear communication, and his availability whenever I had questions. His calm confidence and transparency made a huge difference in my comfort throughout the process.
His staff is warm, kind, and welcoming, and the surgery center team was outstanding—organized, compassionate, and highly skilled. Every interaction felt patient-centered and genuinely caring.
As a surgeon myself, I found this experience inspiring. The level of professionalism, communication, and empathy shown by Dr. Friederichs and his team is something I hope to emulate in my own practice.
I’m grateful for the excellent care and highly recommend Dr. Friederichs and his team to anyone needing shoulder surgery.

I had the best care from Dr. Friederichs, Alex and all the staff! Ive never had such genuine, compassionate and spot on care! My knee replacement was tough, but the staff were amazing coaches. Couldn't be happier! This is the place to go! The facility itself is beautiful and user friendly!

So glad you are back to enjoying your life Cheri!
I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Friederichs and his team. From top to bottom, start to finish, everyone was top tier talent. I’m grateful Fargo has such an expert. I also got my life back and went running yesterday for the first time since my injury. Thank you all!

Nice! Thanks for the great review.
I had my first knee replacement the end of February and was back at work 4 weeks later! Procedure went so well, I had a second one done on my other leg the beginning of August! In both cases, I was treated with great care and attention, from my first consult with Dr. Friederichs, my Iovera procedure with Alex, the staff at the Center for Surgery, to the clinic staff and to Apex Physical Therapy (Shout out to Adrienne!). I cannot stress how they all made these procedures as stress-free, pain lessening, and efficient as possible! I am so happy to have done this and chosen this facility , doctor and staff! I highly recommend you choose them if you are considering a knee replacement (s)!
