Patient Testimonials

I saw Dr. Deal for extreme pain. Dr. Deal ordered an MRI and quickly diagnosed the problem I was having. Dr. Deal was very clear in his communications in a way that I could understand. He took the time to answer all of my questions and addressed my fears regarding surgery. My surgery went very well and the pain is 100% gone. I will go back to Dr. Deal with any future issues without any hesitation.

I have been seeing Dr. Michael Johnson for a couple of years now and trust him fully. When I went to my first appointment with him, I was impressed with the fact he listened to me and did not just dismiss what I told him about my symptoms. He was genuine and took quite a bit of time with me. He has shown great compassion when I have returned, again listening to my every word when explaining what was going on. When there was a question of whether I should have surgery on the affected shoulder or not…we discussed in detail both surgery and recuperation period. He wasn’t pushing surgery, which I admired, and suggested different ways of taking care of the problem. He also took into consideration what was happening in my life at the time and discussed in detail how I was doing. He was genuine in his concern and I could feel that warmth from him. He always gave me his complete attention when I was there and I would trust him with my life.

Received a cortisone shot in November from Dr. Arntson which really helped the pain in my hip, then proceeded with anterior hip replacement surgery on my left hip in March. Surgery went well and I was out of the hospital in 2 days. Did at-home exercises and took pain meds – after 2 weeks only needed Tylenol for pain and continued home exercises for 2 months or so. Now well healed, pain free – right choice for me.

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!
