Patient Testimonials

From beginning to end, Dr. Arntson and his staff made me feel very comfortable about this surgery. At 6 weeks post-op, I am walking up and down stairs and about one mile outside. I would highly recommend Dr. Arntson and his staff. Physical Therapy was fantastic too!

I have only positive things to say about my experience. From the first appointment with Dr. Arntson, I felt like I made the best choice for my knee problems. The staff in the clinic were very kind and helpful. Dr. Arntson explained everything in detail to me and in such a way that my anxiety was taken away. The follow up visits were just as great and comforting as the pre-op visits. I truly recommend TCO for others having issues. I can’t thank Dr. Arntson and staff enough for making a positive change in my life. Thank you all!

While the inability to use my shoulders occurred slowly over time, the decision to have shoulder replacement in both my left and right side was game changing. The mental acceptance of my prognosis was the most difficult. Post-surgical pain was very manageable and 6 weeks without use was frustrating but manageable as well. In addition to my experience with expert surgeon Dr. Kelly, the therapist was a key to full recovery too, Lisa R. is the best. Dr. Kelly’s entire team made my year transformative, giving me back the ability to golf, scuba dive and deep sea fish by the end of the year.

Over the last 10-15 years I’ve accumulated multiple, minor knee injuries. Recently, I had another injury but this one felt a little different. It was more scary and more painful than ones I experienced in the past. I sought out Dr. Ridley at TCO for his insight. After a very thorough exam and x-ray series, we decided to manage the issue conservatively. Dr. Ridley recommended continuing with physical therapy; consisting of weight-bearing exercises, as well as range of motion mobility. My knee is now about 99% back to pre-injury status and Dr. Ridley has checked in multiple times to see how the progress has been going. I couldn’t be happier to have his insight and professionalism as a guiding aid!

Dr. Kelly and his entire team was outstanding. They answered every question and stayed in contact during the entire shoulder replacement process.

I had the opportunity to meet with Dr. TJ Ridley about shoulder issues I was having. I was having pain from a rotator cuff injury that occured a year (or so) ago. Dr. Ridley provided me a full evaluation, recommended me to physical therapy, and now my shoulder feels significantly better. I specifically told him that I’d like to be able to get back to golfing and working out without pain. He explained how I can accomplish the goal and sent me to the right place for PT, to ensure I was taken care of. For anyone that is in need of a doctor who listens, put’s their patients best interest first, has the knowledge and educational background behind his name, and is passionate about helping others accomplish their medical goals, I would highly recommend an evaluation with Dr. Ridley!

Dr. O’Neill and his staff are highly skilled, efficient, and professional in all their work. I was very impressed from the start of my evaluation to the rehab process, after a total knee replacement. This is truly the “A” team!

I was very impressed with Dr. Steven Meisterling. If I need any more work done, I will have him do it. I appreciate all of you. Thank you!

Dr. Hoel worked with me to diagnose and treat a herniated disc in my back. My entire experience with Dr. Hoel was outstanding. The things I appreciated the most was that he acknowledged the pain I was experiencing with sympathy and understanding, and he clearly explained the treatment options available to me as well. Due to being unable to walk or sit without intense pain, I chose the surgery option. Lastly, the surgery was an outstanding success! The pain was gone immediately after surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Hoel, both for the understanding and respect he showed me, as well as for his skill as a surgeon. Thank you Dr. Hoel!

Dr. Chris Meyer is a quiet, get it done right professional. My total hip replacement has been a positive and healing experience with good follow up visits. As time goes on I know I am in good hands with Dr. Meyer and his competent staff.
