Patient Testimonials

I had a distal radius fracture repaired with Dr. Nishant Dwivedi. I have nothing but positive things to say! I now have full use of my wrist, and I am doing everything I did prior to my injury. I was very impressed and pleased with Dr. Dwivedi and the whole process at TCO. My recovery has gone very well and I am very thankful. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Dwivedi!

Dr. Chen is very personable and knowledgeable. She gave me great advice with toe spacers before and after surgery. The bunion surgery recovery went very well! I was doing my home gym lifting workout in my little boot after week one. Workouts helped bring inflammation down with extra circulation. It felt good. She gave me exercises to do to strengthen feet. By one month, I was walking on the beach. I only took Tylenol post-surgery. The incision looks good and feels good. I am ready to do my other foot next December/January with Dr. Chen. Her and her staff were great on checking in throughout the process of my recovery.

Drew Gienau is personable and attentive. He listened to my goals and helped me find technology for every activity I wanted to get back to. Prosthetics are constantly advancing, and TCO is on the cutting edge. I’m back to mountain biking and dirt biking, and am working on getting back on my motorcycle. Without Drew and my care team at TCO, I’d still be in a wheelchair.

In March of 2025, our son, Graeme, tore his meniscus in a snowboarding accident. He immediately started physical therapy with Brett Peterson and then had a full meniscus repair with Dr. Andrew Schmiesing in April. Graeme continued PT with Dr. Peterson vigorously two to three times per week and was back to a full successful football season. In the winter, he made the varsity basketball team and led the team in three-point percentage and field goal percentage as an eighth grader. Without Dr. Peterson’s time and dedication to Graeme, none of this would be possible.

Thank you, TCO, for a life-changing hip replacement and exceptional care. After years of hip stiffness and pain from osteoarthritis, I had surgery with Dr. David Hartigan in August 2025 and started my rehab. Six months later, I saw major progress when transitioning between walking and completing two 5Ks in 2026. At 65 years old, I am stronger, faster and pain-free. I’m grateful for the professionalism, support, and outstanding results from the entire TCO team.

I saw Dr. Chen on June 17th, 2026. She got to the crux of my feet issue and provided me with several options. I was pleased with Dr. Chen and rest of the TCO staff during my office visit.

Dr. Vanden Berge did my mom’s hip replacement. She is 84 years old. He is a wonderful, compassionate doctor. He even called my mom several times to check in with her personally. I highly recommend Dr. Vanden Berge for hip surgery.

Today marks two years since I tripped over a gas pump hose, broke my femur, and shattered my hip. Luckily, Dr. Nielsen was the doctor on call. Not only is he a great surgeon, but he is also an inspirational leader to others. I am very grateful for his talent and expertise.

Dr. Chen was very helpful in alleviating some of my ankle pain. The solution was simple but effective. She outlined what steps I need to take ? if the insoles don’t alleviate my pain enough. I felt listened to and was very impressed with both her demeanor and knowledge. I will definitely go back to her if the pain increases.

At 72 years old, I am back on the golf course and the pickleball court! Dr. Bircher is an amazing surgeon and I highly recommend him. He took the time to speak with my granddaughter about her plans to pursue a career in nursing. It meant a great deal to us! A huge thank you to Dr. Bircher and his team for their exceptional care.
