I saw Dr. Meincke, thru Aspirus Northland orthopedics, for my knee. Thorough exam, went over xrays in detail. Administered a steroid inj in my knee that was totally painless. Great sense of humor, great experience. Would recommend!

Dr.Meincke did a back surgery on me almost 3 years ago. I have been very happy with it. Now he just did my first knee replacement and he will be doing the other one yet this year. He is a very good doctor and he has a great personality.

I’m not sure how this guy can even call himself a dr. He is rude arrogant and unprofessional. He should in no way have the title of Dr.

Quiet, gentle man who's expertise in knee surgery was very apparent. Very thorough. Would recommend him to anyone very leery of surgery on their knees. Went very well.

The very first time I met Dr. Meincke he came in on his day off and his birthday just to give me a diagnosis. I was impressed with his knowledge, honesty, and kindness in seeing me. He told me exactly what it was and what I needed and what it would all entail for my recovery. He impressed me and I moved forward trusting him to do the surgery. He did an excellent surgery repair and his bedside manner was so comforting to me and my family. He answered all of my questions honestly and took the time to reassure me throughout the recovery.

After gaining my trust he insisted my constant pain was normal after knee replacement. Took over a year for the pain to be tolerable. Turns out the knee was not done incorrecly in the first place and needs another surgery. Wondered why he suddenly left the state of Texas.

I COULD NOT BELIEVE THE CARE I RECIEVED IT WAS HORRIBLE AFTER HAVING SURGERY I COMPLAINED SAYING I WAS STILL HAVING PAIN AND HE TOLD ME IT WAS ALL IN MY HEAD FOR A WHOLE YEAR I BELIEVED HIM UNTIL I GOT A SECOND OPINION. I THEN FOUND OUT HE LEFT 3 BROKEN DISCS IN MY LOWER BACK!!!! WHAT KIND OF PERSON DOES THAT I CANT STRESS ENOUGH TO NOT GO TO THIS DR. HE IS A NIGHTMARE!!!

I broke my wrist in 3 places. Being a piano player, this was a major concern. I had to have a plate and 7 pins put in. My wrist has now healed thoroughly. I have full range of motion. I have absolutely no problems playing the piano. I felt I was in good hands with Dr. Meincke. He answered any questions I had. He gave thorough explanations, and I never felt rushed in the appointments. I would definitely recommend Dr. Meincke to anyone.
