I wish I could give zero stars. Condescending, dismissive, arrogant, and rude. Plays the blame game on patients. Doesn't listen to concerns. Unwilling to get over his large ego and be personable. Unprofessional. I would not recommend him to anyone!

Dr. Holthusen was an answer to our prayers for our 11 year old daughter. She dealt with more pain than any child should have to because of an extra bone in each foot, and then suffered too many indignities as a middle-schooler with all of the non-surgical attempts made by a pediatric orthopedist. Dr Holthusen took one conclusive, confident look at her relatively uncomplicated situation, and helped us quickly understand everything we needed to know to make the surgery decision that would restore our daughter's feet to the full function that she now enjoys. We are grateful!

I feel extremely fortunate and am happy to say I am a patient of Dr. Scott Holthusen from Twin City Orthopedics. He is a skilled surgeon and compassionate listener. He treated me like an adult and not a complicate ankle case. I felt like I had a partner and team of professionals to help me through a tough challenge. I am excited to be able to walk again and realize my dream of traveling and dancing again!
