Patient Testimonials

From my first visit to my latest, Dr. Bircher and his Team have been nothing short of outstanding! I am very pleased with the procedure, physical therapy, and overall progress. Now, I am on my third month post-surgery and on track to meeting all my personal goals. I highly recommend Dr. Bircher to anyone looking into having a total knee replacement. Just remember if you want positive results, you need to work hard and always look towards the bigger picture. You won’t always like it, but it is important to remember why you decided to proceed with your procedure. The pain and discomfort (at times) is part of the healing.

I’m sad that Dr. Nemanich is retiring. I guess that means that my right knee can never go bad!

Rarely do I walk without thinking about how grateful I am for my new hip and knee which are pain free! Although my left knee replacement was more painful than the other surgeries I have had in my life, it was well worth it. I have zero pain in my knee or hip, and they feel like my own. I can bend, stretch, and walk several miles without any pain. I am incredibly thankful. Dr. Nemanich is the best!

I recently had knee replacement surgery with Dr. Lewis. He took the time to patiently answer all my questions, and the surgery itself went without a hitch. I am now 10 weeks out from surgery and I’m very pleased with the results. I would highly recommend him to others who need knee replacement surgery.

I cannot state how happy I am with the care I received from Dr. Bircher and his Team. Throughout both my knee and hip surgeries he listened to my concerns with compassion. He is very knowledgeable and provided exceptional care throughout both of my procedure journeys. I will continue to refer anyone I know to Dr. Bircher if they are in need of a doctor!

We had an outstanding experience with Dr. Dwivedi as our hand surgeon. From the very first appointment, he demonstrated an exceptional bedside manner—kind, patient, and genuinely caring. He took the time to explain the procedure in clear, easy-to-understand terms and made sure all our questions were answered thoroughly.

What truly stood out was how detailed he was in preparing us for both the surgery and the recovery process. He walked us through exactly what to expect, which helped ease a lot of anxiety and allowed us to feel confident and informed every step of the way.

Dr. Dwivedi is not only a skilled and knowledgeable surgeon but also incredibly friendly and approachable. His positive attitude and professionalism made a stressful situation much easier to handle. We’re so grateful for the excellent care and would highly recommend him to anyone needing hand surgery.

Simply put, Dr. Harris is the best surgeon in the business. He flew back from a trip to Washington, D.C. and performed my surgery the day after Thanksgiving. A kind soul and caring man. You are in good hands!

Dr. Fritz and his Care Team did a fantastic job with our 6-year-old daughter! She broke her humerus just above the elbow. Dr. Fritz and his Team were helpful, understanding, knowledgeable, and in tune with what our daughter needed! Our favorite part of the process: our daughter had a loose tooth that the Team thought should come out prior to surgery so she wouldn’t swallow it during surgery. The tooth fairy came to visit during surgery! We highly recommend Dr. Fritz and his Team at TCO!

Dr. Bircher, Maggie, and Cassie were amazing from start to finish. I could not have asked for better care from Dr. Bircher and his Team. I would highly recommend them. The physical therapists at TCO were also amazing!

Dr. Ockuly performed two total knee replacements for me, one in 2021 and the other in 2024. The results of both surgeries are excellent. Prior to surgery, he took the time to explain in detail what I could expect. It is a painful surgery, and he was straightforward about that. By the time I got to surgery, I was comfortable with what would take place. The morning of the surgery, he made sure all my questions were answered. After the first surgery, I had a high level of pain and nausea. Those things were considered for the second surgery, and a different approach was taken which made post-surgery less painful with no nausea.

While part of the success of my surgeries is through my compliance to directions from him and the physical therapy team, I feel a big part of my results is due to his skills. Dr. Ockuly cares about his patients, not just the knees. He is personable, and open to any questions without making you feel the question was dumb. I highly recommend him if you need a total knee replacement. I will not hesitate to see him again if I have other issues.

Dr. Dwivedi is a wonderful doctor. He did everything perfectly!
