Dr. Bircher performed a robotic total knee replacement on March 3, 2025. I would characterize Dr. Bircher as a consummate professional and skilled surgeon. The EXCEL program is fantastic and made the experience less daunting. From the initial meeting with Dr. Bircher to the final follow up appointment, Dr. Bircher was honest, articulated realistic expectations, and treated me with compassion. I would highly recommend TCO, the EXCEL program, and Dr. Bircher. The total knee replacement has allowed me to regain my ability to function without pain in my day-to-day life.
