Patient Testimonials

I have been struggling with arthritis in my knee for over 7 years. The pain had steadily increased and was impacting my ability to enjoy many of the activities in my life. I was nervous about knee surgery and waited as long as I could to get it fixed. My experience with Dr. Kelly, his team and everyone at TCO has been outstanding. From the first visit, I could tell that this facility and the people on the team were top notch. Appointments, communication, scheduling, surgery and recovery were all handled with great attention to detail and professionalism. The surgery and recovery have gone great. I’m not yet at 3 months from surgery and I am back to enjoying golf and all the activities I love to do. Zero old knee pain! My strength and pain free flexibility have returned. Cliché, but I should have had this procedure done 3 or 4 years ago. My thanks to Dr. Kelly and his whole team! I strongly recommend them.

Jay Schindler and Nicole Anderson were a great team to help me recover strength in my knee following surgery! I strongly recommend them.

I just want to thank Dr. Christopher Meyer and his staff. The program I went through was amazing. The staff was even more amazing! The team helped me throughout the whole process and answered all my questions to make it a stress-free experience. My job is pretty physical where I need to kneel and get up from a kneeling position. I am able to do my job 100% and I am able to do it without pain. I am truly thankful that I chose this doctor and the staff that supports the whole process.

Both of my knees require regenerative injections. Dr. Moser did an excellent job of describing the condition, procedure and outcome. I can’t wait until my knees are back to normal. Dr. Moser clearly represents everything that puts TCO in a class by itself. Thank you!

Dr. Lewis and his staff were great. No questions or concerns were left unanswered and I was never felt like I was being rushed.

I recently had a total knee replacement with Dr. Bircher in March of 2023. He explained everything clearly and answered all my questions. He was unhurried and gave his undivided attention. He was also very accommodating to not only myself, but to my family. Dr. Bircher is clearly a skilled surgeon who cares about his patients.

Dr. Peterson performed a total knee replacement for me in March 2023. Right away it was easier going up stairs than it was before surgery, although recovery was painful for the first three weeks. By the week two I was walking without a cane and by week six, I was going for walks outside and doing a little yard work. I’m so glad I had surgery. I’m back to my water exercise class at the YMCA. Thanks Dr. Peterson and staff. The staff at Fairview Wyoming was great too.

I sustained a knee injury during a gymnastics competition that required immediate surgery at the trauma center at the Phoenix Children’s Hospital. I was out of state, completely alone, and had no idea on where to go next. Luckily one of the physical therapists at the competition was from TCO Eagan and referred me to Dr. LaPrade when I returned home. After visiting Dr. LaPrade, I felt like I could relax because I knew I was in good hands. It was absolutely crazy how everything was taken care of and how they guided me through every step of the way.

Dr. LaPrade did my full MCL reconstruction a few months later. I felt extremely safe, confident, and above all, comfortable. The surgery process with Dr. LaPrade and his team was very smooth and thorough. I was excited to have surgery and begin my recovery. I began physical therapy at the Vadnais Heights – Training HAUS location. Working with the PT’s there made me stronger than I ever was before. I felt like I gained a second family. I have never felt so supported by a team of individuals in my life. Now nearly a year from my initial break, I am well past recovered, and am better than I was pre-injury. My experience at TCO and Training HAUS has truly changed my life forever.

This is the most wonderful doctor and nurses I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. Dr. Arntson did my surgery and within five weeks I felt like I had a new lease on life. I’m more active now than I have been in years. Dr. Arntson gave me my life back, as did the wonderful staff and the hospital, my physical therapist, Kristina, and the staff at the clinic. Thank you to everyone. It was an incredibly great experience.

I finished therapy in April 2023 and want to say thanks to the whole team at TCO. Kristina and Beth did an awesome job in their expertise with me. Every session was tough but they were encouraging at every step of my therapy! The whole team at TCO were experts in their field. Thanks to all of you and a special thanks to Kristina and Beth!
