Patient Testimonials

My family loves Dr. Koch. With all of the hand concerns and ailments we have had Dr. Koch and her staff are patient and caring and provide excellent care. I would recommend her to anyone.

I had a total hip replacement August 4, 2020 at the age of 55. Dr. Owen O’Neill‘s team was so fantastic before, during and after surgery! I wasn’t one who wanted to know the details of how the surgery would be performed but knew that I would feel better once it was done. The team provided information, answered my questions, and I felt they were there with me all the way, figuratively holding my hand through the process. Friends and neighbors would tell me it will be so much better after surgery, but I had no idea how right they were. We talk about our pain level on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the worst pain you can imagine. Life before surgery had been a constant 5 or 6 and I would need over the counter pain relief 2 to 3 times a week to get to sleep. Since the surgery, my pain level was a 2 for a few days and I hit 3 once when I moved wrong. I didn’t need the pain relief medication beyond the recommended 2 weeks (I probably didn’t really need it that long but I follow rules). I have been walking every day and have worked up to 30 minute walks which I had not been able to do for almost a year prior to surgery. At 7 weeks post-surgery I was cleared to return to normal activity level. I was happy to be able to mow the lawn. I’ve been raking leaves and looking forward to shoveling snow this winter. I am so thrilled that I can be active and not have the pain. Thank you Dr. Owen O’Neill and team!! I would highly recommend your team to anyone I meet who is in need of a new hip!

Dr. Cooper and Jessica Cicero are both incredible providers. They take the time to listen to their patients and truly understand what the problem is before coming up with a treatment plan. I appreciate that they understand when someone wants to try conservative options and that they are willing to help get everything lined up for you at the time of your visit. You are not left in limbo trying to schedule the appropriate appointments on your own. They truly care about their patients and want to help you get back to your life with the best mobility possible. You are a person, not just a number! Thank you for all the help you have given me and my husband.

I am very thankful and appreciative of Dr. David Anderson’s surgery to replace my left hip. His professionalism and engagement were helpful in easing my concerns, as this was my first surgery ever!

On October 1, 2020 I had an anterior hip replacement at the Blaine Surgery Center. I went from having pain every day in my hip (to the point that it was hard to walk) to waking up from the hip replacement and no longer having that pain! I have had some surgical pain but nothing that compares to the previous discomfort. I am about 2.5 weeks post-surgery and walking 18 minutes twice per day, along with my daily exercises. I was fortunate that I was able to manage any discomfort with Ibuprofen or Tylenol. I feel like I am on my way to getting my life back! A huge thank you to Dr. Arntson and his team for their wonderful care through this process.

I want to thank Dr. Knowlan and his team for the amazing job they did replacing my hip on September 8, 2020. I have no pain and I can hardly see the scar. I am sincerely grateful!

This is the second knee replacement with Dr. Meyer and both of them could not have gone better. I was fortunate to have very little pain, and mobility of knee came rather quickly. I am now blessed with good knees that will allow me to have a lifestyle that doesn’t include limping.

My total shoulder replacement surgery by Dr. Kelly gave me back my life and had allowed me to do everything I used to do. I am amazed with the success! Dr. Kelly and his team exceeded all expectations on replacing both of my shoulders and I now have my active life back. Best medical experience I’ve had!

I had a great experience from beginning to end. I have been able to walk without assistance since the day of my surgery. The care I received from everyone was great and the EXCEL program was awesome! I highly recommend Dr. Arntson and his team.

Dr. Dieterle and staff (Scott) in PT were excellent! They did what they promised and cared for all concerns. TCO is the best! Thanks again for the great care and professionalism. Good job guys!
