Dr. Steven Meletiou performed a left thumb CMC joint surgery as I had very painful arthritis. The surgery went well and healing has gone better than expected. I am progressing a couple weeks ahead of expected recovery and using my thumb for many daily tasks. His care team is amazing, very thoughtful, kind and thorough. I am grateful for a surgeon who is meticulous in what they do! Thank you Dr. Meletiou and team!

When I discovered I had torn my hip labrum, I knew I needed nothing short of the best to handle the repair. After months of searching and meeting four different doctors, I found Dr. TJ Ridley and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. From our very first meeting, I knew he was the one I could trust with this important surgery. Dr. Ridley truly understands how integral activities like weightlifting and running are to those of us who live active lifestyles. His confidence and understanding made me feel reassured and optimistic every step of the way.

Now, just six weeks post-surgery. I’m feeling better than I ever expected at this stage. There’s still work to do, but I already feel great about the repair and the direction I’m heading. On the morning of the surgery, I was nervous walking into the surgery center, but as soon as Dr. Ridley entered the room, his calm, confident presence reminded me I mad the right choice.

Dr. Ridley goes above and beyond to ensure everything is done with precision and care. He has qualities that set him apart from others in his field. I hope I never need another surgery, but if I do, there’s no question I’d return to Dr. Ridley in a heartbeat. He’s truly the best of the best, and I can’t recommend him enough!

I had pain and limitation of motion in both shoulders for 2 years. I was having difficulty doing ordinary tasks and could no longer play golf. I had arthroscopic surgery on the right shoulder by Dr. Corey Wulf and his team in November of 2023 and surgery on my left shoulder the following April. I am now 18 months post shoulder #1 and 12 months post shoulder #2. I am pain free and swinging a golf club. Great surgeon and excellent follow up physical therapy resulted in this superb result. Thank you!

I fell and broke my hip the day before our daughters wedding. I got lucky because Dr. James Bircher was the ortho on call when I went to the hospital.

I was in the hospital before 8 AM on Friday, in surgery for a hip replacement at noon and was ready and at the church by 2 o’clock on Saturday. He and his team are miracle workers! I could walk without any assistance – no walker or cane and was able to enjoy the wedding and reception. Wedding guests could not believe it. I should’ve had Dr. Bircher’s cards to pass out at the wedding.

It’s been 3 months now and all is good. I think our daughter has recovered from the added stress the day before her wedding! Don’t hesitate to have Dr. Bircher do your replacement. Based on my experience he is an exceptional surgeon. He and Kari are both nice, easy to talk with and helpful with any questions.

I had a total left knee replacement 3 weeks ago, and I am now walking up to 2 miles a day, along with exercising daily. I can’t thank Dr. Brian O’Neill and his team enough. Amazing Dr.!

I had lumbar L4-5 fusion surgery performed by Dr. Eric Deal.  The care that I received from Dr. Deal, his PA-C, Nathan Marcus, and the entire TCO team (including the surgery center and physical therapy) was excellent! The day of my surgery, even though it was an early morning, Dr. Deal still checked on me at 8:00PM in my surgery center room before going home that day, I was very impressed!

I just visited Dr. Deal for my one year check and the sciatica pain (among other issues) that I saw him for initially is now gone!
I can highly recommend Dr. Deal and his team!

Dr. Carlson and his team were outstanding in every respect. From my initial meeting with he and Jake, I knew I was in good hands. From start to finish, the surgery and aftercare were excellent. I am now 3 weeks post hip replacement surgery and am walking without aids – and I am experiencing very little pain. I cannot recommend Dr. Carlson and his team more highly.

Dr. Fritz and his team were splendid. He repaired 5 breaks in three bones at the elbow; complicated and lengthy. Dr. Fritz explained thoroughly the procedure, possible risks and anticipated outcome and encouraged my questions. His care coordinator made the lead up to surgery very easy. It made us very comfortable.

Dr. TJ Ridley and his team were all amazing! He was the first provider to truly hear my concerns and be willing to investigate. I was well informed and cared for throughout the investigative, surgical, and recovery processes. The team provided honest and thorough care, and are great at their jobs. I highly recommend Dr. Ridley!

Firstly, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. TJ Ridley, Korey Jaminski, and everyone on Dr. Ridley’s team.

In 2021, I tore my right hip labrum but ignored it, hoping it would heal. After undergoing an MRI at TCO, I learned of the labrum tear and was given a choice between continued therapy, injections and surgery. Given the years of pain I had, I chose surgery.

Dr. Ridley was very knowledgeable and kind during our consultation. I shared my symptoms: pain in both exterior areas of the hips and a leaking sensation in my inner-groin right hip on and off. He also pointed out a symptom I didn’t notice: clicking of the hips. I had never noticed how much more my right hip would click compared to my left hip when doing the exact same exercises. I am 6 weeks post operation and I no longer have the leaking sensation.

Thank you again to Dr. Ridley, Mr. Jaminski, the nurses and everyone involved in my surgery. I would highly recommend TCO for their patient care and consideration.
