Patient Testimonials

I have pain free range of motion and will continue to regain all ROM and strength. I had this shoulder replaced far earlier than I had done the right shoulder and saved myself from further pain, discomfort, and decreased ability to use the shoulder.

I’m very verbal about my surgery and hopefully am empowering others who have joint pain (of any joint) to consider replacement. If it’s a shoulder, I always recommend Dr. Dieterle.

For almost 12 months, I was unable to work (and basically unable to walk) as a normal daily activity. The pain was excruciating! I went to podiatrists and physicians in 4 different clinics to receive painful injections and endure therapy to no avail. I was letting my family down. One lucky day, I was able to schedule with Dr. Coetzee. He recommended surgery, which we did, and one month later I was human. I was working and providing for my family! That was over a year ago now and I continue to beat the ground and am a providing family man, who can hold his head up with pride! Thank you for giving me my life back! I am fortunate to have been so blessed by his skills.

Before surgery my pain was so bad I was having trouble sleeping at night because I just couldn’t get comfortable. I was avoiding the stairs in my home and I was not able to do simple household tasks. After surgery with Dr. Cooper, I am once again comfortable at night and getting back into regular housework routines. Carrying full laundry baskets up and down stairs is still a challenge, but taking it slow and gaining strength as time goes by.

I no longer have to find an alternate activity when travels include long walks and medium hikes. I have less pain and better sleep after a typical active day.

Extreme pain prior to surgery and a hard time sleeping. Now I can walk normally with no pain. Still have some stiffness if I sit a long time but that goes away after I walk a couple of steps. Very happy with Dr. Meyer. He did a good job.

I had a right hip replacement by Dr. Owen O’Neill in October 2018 when I was 77 years old. Prior to surgery I had a significant limp, could not stand longer than ten minutes because of pain and it was difficult for me to bend and put a shoe on my right foot. The surgery corrected all of these problems. I currently walk over one hour almost daily without pain, limping or other difficulties. Dr. O’Neill’s office staff, especially Ann Sugrue, were very helpful. She would immediately relay any question I had to Dr. O’Neill if he was not available. I have referred other people to Dr. O’Neill who also have had very successful hip replacements. He is a very skilled and compassionate surgeon who wants to help his patients lead a better and more productive life.

Dr. O’Neill and TCO were recommended to me and I am so thankful! His procedure didn’t cut any muscles and I was back to work as a full time bartender after 5 weeks without any issues. I was cleared because he said what I gave you is better than you ever had and you won’t screw it up. I am 53, 6ft 4in, 280lbs. My rehab was to just walk. I walked a lot. By the second week I was walking 4 blocks, 3 times a day. Now I’m breaking up 2 miles into 4 walks. I’m a big dude and not in the best shape. Hip pain was awful and he and his staff worked with me and my insurance. I never do these reviews but Dr. O’Neill changed my life. Innovative and full service situation. Simply awesome.

My hip replacement surgery done by Dr. Knowlan has completely eliminated my pain. I am able to sleep much better and also stand without pain. I am 100% satisfied with my decision to have it done.

I met Dr. Langer in early October. He is very patient and empathetic. He listened and answered all questions from my husband and me. He showed us where the problems were on the x-ray. What impressed me the most is the outstanding service by his staff members. A day after seeing Dr. Langer, we had a question and left a voicemail for his assistant, Adam. A staff member called back to let me know that Adam was out of the office today and would get back to me when he returned on Monday. She just wanted to inform me so that I didn’t keep on waiting and wondering. On Monday, Adam returned my phone call first thing in the morning. Overall, I’m very pleased with the excellent service provided by Dr. Langer and the outstanding service of his staff. Their actions demonstrate the high professional practice and total patient care.

You say shoulder injury? Both my husband and I had rotator cuff injuries. Dr. Norberg is our go-to surgeon. Communication skills, expertise and professionalism is outstanding. Amazing staff and we’re back skiing again.
