Patient Testimonials

Everything went great! I wouldn’t think twice about doing it again. Pain free! Both Dr. O’Keefe and Nathan Dumm were wonderful. I would never consider going anywhere else.

Had scope surgery 1^st but didn’t help much, then the knee replacement surgery by Dr. O’Keefe went well and the knee feels much better now.

I would recommend Dr. O‘Keefe and Nathan to my friends and family. Dr. O’Keefe and Nathan were very informative on how the surgery was needed, my right thumb didn’t respond to the shots anymore. Surgery went well and PT has gone really well. They have been complemented by other surgical results. Little or no pain. Do what the Dr. says and the results are great!

Close to two years ago Dr. Heikes performed knee surgery due to knee cartilage damage from a hard impact on my knee.

I was able to begin running and racing one mile to 10 mile races less than a year following the surgery. Dr. Heikes has a gift of listening and explaining in layman’s terms for a clearer understanding of discussions. Good job Dr. Heikes!

Can’t recommend Brooke Deshler more highly. She explained why each thing she asked me to do was necessary and how it benefited my recovery. She held me responsible with kindness and was very knowledgeable in her treatment. Excellent PT!

Dr. Vargas recently did a bunion/hammertoe surgery on both of my feet. The outcome of this surgery is even better than what I had hoped for. Dr. Vargas is a very compassionate and caring surgeon. He listens to his patients and provides them with the best care possible. This surgery is allowing me to resume the active lifestyle that I want and I am pain free. I highly recommend Dr. Vargas and his staff.

I saw Dr. Matthew Butterfield who was highly recommended by my cousin, a Vascular Surgeon who only recommends the VERY BEST. I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Butterfield. He was professional, caring, and willing to listen. He was so great that he knew exactly what my MRI would most likely say before I even had it done. He was spot on with his diagnosis. He gave me the time I needed away from work to heal as he and I together felt was necessary. I will recommend him to anyone who needs a referral to a great physician. Thank you Dr. Butterfield! I will only see him if I need any future orthopedic needs!!

Dr. Hunt is the best Dr.

I retired earlier this year and was looking forward to catching up on many activities and experiences that I didn’t have time for in the past. But frequent issues with my knees posed a significant problem. I had total knee replacement done by Dr. Kelly on both knees (6 weeks apart) and after recovery I’m excited to say that my knee pain is gone and I have total confidence in my knees once again. I spent a week on vacation in December (10 months after my first knee replacement) and walked nearly 70 pain-free miles in 7 days. I’ve returned to my car building hobby, and am doing all the things around my home that had become difficult. I am still seeing improvement in both knees and am excited about that. I am convinced that all the dreams I had for my retirement are once again within reach.

I am really happy with both my knee replacements. The first one in July 2018 and the second in October 2018. One night stay in Fairview Southdale Hospital, and home for recovery. Started physical therapy 4 days later at TCO Edina. Terrific therapists. Everyone were exceptionally friendly and helpful. I totally recommend TCO, Dr. Owen O’Neill and Jessie Donovan.
