Patient Testimonials

I chose TCO because of its strong reputation, and my experience with Physical Therapist Carly Mattson, Athletic Trainer Robert Zelesnikar, and Athletic Trainer Eric Linnell exceeded my expectations. From the beginning, they were invested in my recovery and genuinely cared about helping me return to Division I hockey at 100%. They were friendly, kind, and professional, and I always felt supported throughout the process. They took the time to ask how I was doing both physically and mentally, and our conversations often went beyond my injury and recovery. They made me feel seen as a person, not just a patient.

After suffering a significant concussion, my recovery took longer than expected, but I never felt like they were holding me back unnecessarily. My rehabilitation was tailored specifically to my role as a hockey goalie, incorporating challenging eye-tracking exercises, high-stimulation drills, and full-body movements that mimicked game situations. They always made sure I was comfortable, explained exercises clearly, and answered every question I had. Thanks to their care, I was able to return to hockey with confidence, and I still use the vision exercises they taught me to continue improving my performance on the ice.

Dr. Deal’s entire team is awesome! They have great communication and are very professional in every aspect from start to finish. I highly recommend Dr. Deal and his team!

I had thumb surgery with Dr. Dwivedi and I am very happy with how well everything went. I am still a tiny bit swollen, but it is getting better each day and I have no pain.

He explained things clearly and detailed in a way that I could understand. I fully understood all my options and he answered every question I had. I would definitely recommend him!

I can’t say enough about Dr. Chen and her team. They were helpful, informative, and left no stone unturned. I felt like I was in good hands which eliminated much anxiety.

Drew Gienau is personable and attentive. He listened to my goals and helped me find technology for every activity I wanted to get back to. Prosthetics are constantly advancing, and TCO is on the cutting edge. I’m back to mountain biking and dirt biking, and am working on getting back on my motorcycle. Without Drew and my care team at TCO, I’d still be in a wheelchair.

Dr. Flikkema is great! He truly takes the time to listen to my concerns when I meet with him.
