I crushed my finger in February. It was pinned by a local orthopedic in my rural area. During rehab the sagittal band tore, which was beyond the skill of that orthopedic. I was referred to Dr. Sawardeker. He was fantastic from his bedside manner to his skill and perfectionistic surgical technique. Dr. Sawardeker discussed both non-surgical and surgical management of my problem, offering the pros and cons of each so that I could make an informed decision. He was not at all pushy about doing surgery. Surgery was the best optio... read more

Dr. Sawardeker fixed both shoulders. One was a rotator cuff and the other was a complete replacement. I was very pleased with both surgery's. I would highly recommend Dr. Sawardeker for his kindness and caring attitude with his patients. He is one of the best! Roger Aukes in Park Rapids,Mn.

Dr. Sawardecker is an asset to the Essentia Staff.. I am so happy he has chosen to practice close to us! He is so accommodating and is so in tune with patients needs. Besides being a talented surgeon.

He is very personable as well as being an excellent doctor. His "bedside manner" instills confidence and assurance. I was very impressed with him and his staff.

The kindness that Dr. Sawardeker showed me with each visit was wonderful. He took his time, made me feel as if I was his only appointment he had. All in all the service I received after my wrist injury was outstanding.

I had left shoulder surgery in February. I was given excellent care by Dr. Sawardeker and the whole surgical team. I also had Dupuytren's contracture treatment, actually 2 times. Again his care was excellent and desire to make the procedure as comfortable as is possible. He made me feel that my medical treatment was important to him and wanted the very best results.

I had a fall from a roof and dislocated my shoulder which damaged my rotator cuff beyond repair so the only option I had after talking to Dr. Sawardeker was a total reverse shoulder replacement. He explained the procedure in such a way anyone could understand it. He has been an awesome Dr. through surgery and also after making sure everything was going as planned. Did have a small issue with therapy which he took care of immediately. I would highly recommend Dr. Sawardeker to anyone.

I'm a 82 year old women that has had almost unbearable pain from shoulder problems , mostly arthritis, for years. I finally decided to go see Dr. Sawardeker because I had heard really good things about him. Best thing I ever did. Since he did the total reverse shoulder replacement 6 weeks ago I feel great. No pain at all. Not taking anything for pain since the surgery. A slight ache if I overdue things, but that's all. Excellent surgeon.
