Patient Testimonials

Having a knee replacement is a big surgery and a huge decision to make as you only get one chance to get it right. Dr. Bircher is easy to talk with and highly skilled. I was walking unassisted at three weeks post-surgery. He ordered an at home incumbent stationary bike with a computer plan specifically designed for my knee replacement. On those early days when I didn’t even want to get out of bed, the bike was my best friend and kept my knee moving gently. Dr. Bircher was honest with me from the first consultation about the pain level. On day of surgery, he held my hand and calmed my fears in the best way possible. I went into the procedure with a sense of peace. His care team is great, and even though I became a “frequent flyer” with phone calls, every concern was addressed. I 100% recommend starting with Dr. Bircher and his team!

Dr. Michael R. Johnson saved my summer by repairing my knee in a timely manner. He was able to replace the spacer in my partial knee which I am thankful for. His team was able to get me the surgery quickly and in a professional manner. Now my knee feels great! A big thank you to Dr. Johnson and his team!

Dr. Chen took care of my child when he fractured his tibia. She answered all our many questions and was very reassuring about his recovery process. We had a great experience with Dr. Chen and the whole care team at TCO!

I want to thank Dr. Lewis and his team on my successful total knee replacement and follow-up experience. After years of severe pain and limited mobility, I am now able to climb stairs and walk without pain. No more arthritis or weakness. At seven weeks post-op, the difference is unbelievable and miraculous. The entire team was professional and supportive. A shout out to Libby Witchger, PA-C, the TCO nurses who cared for me, and the physical therapy team of Leah Toth and Laura Raymond. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Dr. Bircher is very nice and takes the time to listen. He did a great job on both my hip and knee replacements. I would recommend him to everyone.

I had a robotic total right knee replacement on May 7th, 2026, with Dr. Bircher. Pre-op and post-op care was a very positive experience. I couldn’t be happier with TCO, Dr. Bircher, and his entire team. They always listened and were professional. They were thorough and explained processes to me every step of the way. I really appreciated the prayers from their team!

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. Bircher completed a robotic total knee replacement for me in March, and it went as smooth as possible. At three months post-surgery, I feel stronger and have more confidence in my joint than I have over the past five years. I’m so glad I got it done! I will return to Dr. Bircher when I need my second knee replaced.

Dr. Jeremiah Johnson, along with Madison Styrlund and the rest of his team, made my recent partial knee replacement a truly positive experience. Initially, they performed a meniscus repair, but sadly, I re-tore that same meniscus. However, they offered me excellent options with great care and knowledge. They were incredibly patient and thorough throughout the process. The partial knee replacement was a success, and my recovery has been going wonderfully. I am now back to walking regularly and looking forward to getting back to running and skiing within the year. Dr. Johnson and his team have had a profoundly positive impact on my life, and I would highly recommend them to anyone!

I had both of my knees replaced by Dr. Bircher. Post surgery went very well and I had no issues. My recovery time was quicker than I expected. Dr. Bircher was easy to schedule surgeries with at specific times that fit my needs. I am very pleased with the results.
