Patient Testimonials

Surgery with Dr. Dieterle got me back to 100% normal life and activity and PT was very beneficial.

My rotator cuff repair surgery with Dr. Kelly went better than I could have imagined. I couldn’t even move my shoulder prior to surgery.

I want to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Fischer. I feel blessed to have had the thumb CMC arthroplasty I so needed. I have been suffering with severe arthritis for the last 10 years and no medication ever helped the pain. The surgery and tissue transplant has allowed me to feel great. No pain in that area and I have better range of motion with higher functioning.

Excellent experience from start to finish. From the pre-surgery information meeting all the way through my 8-week post-surgery follow-up, I remained happy. I have already referred two people to Dr. Anseth and will continue that practice. Thanks!

I had a total hip replacement performed by Dr. Owen O’Neill in July 2020. My daughter, a PA at TCO, recommended Dr. O’Neill. My experience with Dr. O’Neill, his staff, the surgery center and the Excel Program was nothing short of outstanding. The entire process, from preparation/education to post surgery care was seamless, professional and compassionate. My recovery was unbelievably fast and easy. I am so grateful to Dr. O’Neill for helping me get to get back to long walks, biking and pain free living!

I absolutely cannot say enough good about Dr. Eggert and his team, Adam & Tammy. My son tore his ACL, MCL and meniscus, two weeks into his junior-year football season. Dr. Eggert performed the surgery to repair his knee. Dr. Eggert is knowledgeable, a skilled surgeon and empathetic to the patient and their situation. I appreciate the fact that Dr. Eggert always took the time to answer our questions to our understanding. We knew going into the surgery that the road to recovery would be long. The communication and follow-up between Dr. Eggert, his team, the physical therapists and my son was excellent. While I’d hope we don’t need his services in the future, I wouldn’t see anyone else!

I was very pleased with the prompt appointment and the diagnosis was thorough, which left me able to make my own choices. Surgery for both of my feet is scheduled and I will be very happy to walk without pain or stumbling. The people I encountered at TCO were professional but showed a sense of humor and concern. Dr. Coetzee was very clear in the diagnosis and I look forward to my next visit. Thank you to all.

I was hit by a car in a parking garage in 2012. My left knee meniscus was heavily damaged and was cleaned up microscopically, however I was told at that time that I would likely need a knee replacement before age 65. After moving to MN, I transferred care to Dr. Arntson at TCO. Due to arthritis, my knee would periodically swell, which was very painful. I had it drained with corticosteroid injection which worked extremely well for a number of years but, as forewarned, it eventually stopped being effective.

I had a total knee replacement, spent the next day at Mercy Hospital, and after my second PT session I was able to return home. The first couple of days were rough (pain wise). Within 2 weeks I was able to walk unassisted. Within 6 weeks I was able to engage in most of my prior daily routine. Continuing PT and exercise, I anticipate being better than I have felt in a couple of years. Thank you TCO, Dr. Arntson, Megan Nelson (PT), and Bri Lund (PA)!

Dr. Cooper and his staff were very helpful and certainly eased the anxiety my daughter had over her hurt wrist. He offered a couple options and suggested the best given the injury, her age and level of activity.

Dr. Cooper is a fantastic and caring surgeon. We would not trust anyone else. We are looking at having other family members with issues in his specialty transfer to his practice.
