Patient Testimonials

Dr. Shammash kindly and carefully helped me get back on track with proper and consistent care of advancing knee osteoarthritis. She is friendly, precise, and clear in her suggestions and directions. I have 100% trust in TCO and with each care provider assigned to me as these aging issues occur.

I love Dr. Miller and his care coordinator, Wendi! Dr. Miller is so nice and thorough, making every visit a very pleasant experience. He’s very caring, kind and good listener. Same for Wendi. She is the BEST at drawing blood! She never leaves a mark or bruise on my arm. That’s a special skill to have and is very much appreciated, especially when you don’t have the best veins to choose from! I HIGHLY recommend them for any kind of treatment you may need. I’m so glad they are my team.

Dr. Nolan is incredible! He took the time to listen to my health issues and how my arthritis was limiting me. He provided me with a great education on types of arthritis and next steps on how best to treat it. He did more for me in one visit than I’ve had in the past five years combined. My joints literally have not been pain-free without swelling in over 5 years! I’m once again looking forward to living an active lifestyle in my retirement years. Thank you, Dr Nolan!

I have been a patient of Dr. Joseph Bert since 2016. From day one, I felt a caring relationship with him. It was as if Dr. Bert was my son’s best friend and he promised my son he would take good care of me. He makes me feel special! He has a wonderful gift of making the patient feel comfortable and deserving of his attention. Dr. Bert is an excellent listener and makes you feel that your health does matter to him. You’re not just another body.

Dr. Bert has always been considering a better or more economical treatment for my arthritis. I have known Dr. Bert’s Care Coordinator, Jesse G. for as long as I have known Dr. Bert. My experience with Jesse has been equally rewarding in the way she makes me feel comfortable and significant. She is dedicated to her profession and continues furthering her career through higher education. I admire her for this. Jesse, like Dr. Bert makes me feel special. Together they are an awesome team. It’s a good day for me when I know I’m going to see Dr. Bert and Jesse. They make me feel good and that’s so welcomed in today’s world.

I’ve had Rheumatoid Arthritis for approximately 25 years. I have been a patient of Dr. Kneeland at TCO and her prior practice for approximately two years. Dr. Kneeland is one of the most caring, sincere, and compassionate medical professionals I have ever met. Equally important, she is also a great listener! I am very grateful for Dr. Kneeland’s care! Moreover, I was also a patient of Dr. Sufka’s for six years, who is also a fine doctor and person. Lastly, my family and I have been patients of Dr. Larson, Dr. Wulf and Dr. Harris who have been there for my family in times of need. All of them are fabulous Doctors! TCO is the Kellogg family go-to practice.

Dr. Sufka is simply amazing. I suffered with pain, wounds, and feeling awful for about 5 years until I was referred to Dr. Sufka. He really took the bull by the horns and looked at all the testing I had from numerous other clinics and hospitals. He was the first person to even offer a diagnosis. We started on the first treatment and within a month, I felt remarkably better. While my disease ebbs and flows in difference ways, Dr. Sufka has always been able to suggest different ways to help me live my best life. When I call and explain what is going on, I am always able to get in and see him quickly, which 100% appreciate. He also takes plenty of time to talk through issues, listens intently, and I have never felt rushed or unable to ask questions. Besides being a great physician, he is an all-around good guy.

Dr. Sharon Frattalone and her nurse, Heather, are an outstanding team. Dr. Frattalone’s treatment plan for me has given me my strength and comfort back. I am beyond thrilled. I wholeheartedly recommend her.

You can’t find a more caring and knowledgeable rheumatologist than Dr. Sufka!

Dr. Frattalone and her staff are super informative and very caring. My injections went very well. Her care coordinator, Heather, is so kind and friendly. The whole staff is so sweet.

Dr. Wu has treated me for 10 years and has saved my life multiple times when other doctors have missed diagnosed or not diagnosed problems that could have been fatal. I suffer from multiple chronic autoimmune diseases. Dr. Wu has worked with drug manufacturers and insurance companies to approve multiple biologic medicines at once that have never been approved together before. His tenacity to do what is needed for his patients is unbelievable. When he sees the opportunity for his patients to have a better chance at quality of life, he is willing to fight on their behalf.
