Patient Testimonials

This is my third procedure through TCO with Dr. O’Keefe, this time being a complete replacement of my right shoulder. He is my orthopedist. I have been thoroughly pleased with my care here in the hospital, clinic and physical therapy. Dr. O’Keefe and staff have instilled confidence about my expected results. My results have been great and have returned me to my normal tasks and certainly improved my quality of life.

I was treated with total respect by Dr. O’Keefe. Every staff member was helpful, happy and a pleasure to be around. I can’t believe how great I feel. Why did I wait so long to feel so great? The personal care was outstanding!! THANK YOU!

I can do things like I could when I was younger. In June, I camped in 3 State Parks and 2 camp grounds. Before knee surgery with Dr. Meyer, I would have maybe done only 1.

At 72 years of age, I visited Dr. O’Neill for pain and stiffness in my right hip as well as back pain from my right leg being 1/2” shorter than the left one. The pain and lack of mobility was finally infringing on my everyday life. Hip replacement was inevitable. On February 7^th, 2019, I had anterior hip replacement surgery. Dr. O’Neill also lengthened the right leg by 1/2” making legs and pelvis even.

After 13 days, my husband and I flew to Arizona where I continued the rebuilding instructions I was given by Dr. O’Neill’s team. Six weeks after surgery, I was able to resume biking, hiking, working out, playing pickleball, without pain. In the attached picture, 16 weeks after surgery, my husband and I went on a 10 day bike tour through the Dordogne region of France.

Hip replacement surgery has made such a positive difference in everyday life as well as all the physical activities I love doing. I didn’t realize how much I was compensating for the pain in my right hip and overworking the left side of my body. After surgery, my back and sacrum pain was gone. Riding the hills in France was so enjoyable and I was much stronger and more confident in my biking. What a blessing!!

Thank you to Dr. O’Neill and the team. I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. O’Neill and the minimally invasive hip replacement surgery. I wish I would’ve done it sooner.

I have seen Dr. Diekmann for over 10 years. He is a very good doctor and I recommend him to many. He has given me cortisone shots for my bad knees and now it is time to get a knee replacement. I have no worries because he did my mom’s hip surgery and you could barely tell where the scar was. His personality is A+ and he really does great with informing you what is going on and takes his time doing it too. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Seybold and his staff were very professional and knowledgeable before, during and after my surgery. Both procedures (bunionectomy and hammer toe correction) were successful and without issue. Normally known as a painful recovery, the pain was very manageable. With their recovery advice and planning, I’m now back to normal activities, working out, running, biking, swimming, etc! No more pain at all while walking for the first time in a few years. Thanks Dr. Seybold and team!

I just want to start out by saying thank you so much to Dr. Steven Meisterling for being an amazing surgeon, and taking good care of me over the last 6 months. He is extremely personable and did not sugar coat my injury or outlook. This is actually the type of person I needed and wanted. My knee/leg injury is on the extreme side as far as injuries go, but he is an expert on how to put humpty dumpty back together again. I would recommend him and his staff for any minor injury or the most extreme. Trust me, after my injury I wasn’t sure if I would ever return to work, but 6 months later I’m cleared to return as a K9 officer. This is truly amazing work! Thanks again Dr. Meisterling and staff! Love you guys!

Dr. Anderson has a minimally invasive approach that has encouraged surgical intervention as a last resort. He is very thorough in treatment plans that are results based. I have referred close family and friends to him who have been overly satisfied with his level of care, bedside manners and follow up care. Due to the reputation Dr. Anderson has made for himself in the level of care he provides, knowledge, and approach he feels is in his patients best interest, I feel confident and comfortable making the decision to have my 96 year old grandmother become a new patient of his.

I had disc bulging at L3-4 and more severe at L4-5 with moderate disc degeneration. I had a L4-5 microdisectomy and felt significant relief of my back pain at this level and leg pain. Unfortunately, I still have a herniation at L3-4 that isn’t to the point of needing surgery. Disc degeneration that would require a fusion and given I am only 36, a fusion is something I want to avoid. Dr. DuBois was excellent and the L4-5 microdiscectomy made it possible to play with my twin girls again. If further surgery is needed at some point, I would definitely go back to see Dr. DuBois.

Before surgery with Dr. Knowlan I couldn’t hold my grandson for more than 5 mins. Now I can hold him as long as I want. I can also mow the lawn as long as I want where before I had a great deal of pain and had to stop several times. Now I am able to snowshoe and cross-country ski and go hiking which I couldn’t do before surgery
