Patient Testimonials

I had low back disc surgery in February 2025 with Dr. Harris. When I was filling out the post-op surveys that were sent to me, I wished I could thank Dr. Harris for the wonderful results I’ve had from his skillful surgery! Yes, it was painful at first, but with each week I continued to improve until I had no pain at all. I am now able to enjoy every day!

I have had to call Heather and Dr. Frattalone several times recently because of some hand problems. They are always very prompt in responding to my calls and helping me solve the situation. I was especially grateful last week when we had an ice storm, and I couldn’t go see her. Dr. Frattalone used her lunch hour for a telecall with me. She was very patient and understanding. She answered all my questions and even took care of providing me with a pharmacy solution.

Dr. Dwivedi is such a blessing, and I couldn’t be more pleased and grateful for his care. His demeanor and compassion are genuine, and he made me feel comfortable. I was really worried about my thumb, and he went above and beyond to make sure I received the care I needed. He reassured me and broke down explanations in a way that made me feel confident with my treatment. Thank you so much to Dr. Dwivedi!

This was my very first surgery. Dr. Carlson and his team were great with answering all my questions and I felt very comfortable with them. He personally called me when I had a concern. I knew that I could trust him 100 percent. The day of the surgery, I wasn’t even nervous. Everyone was so nice and gave me excellent care. I highly recommend Dr. Carlson and his team!

I first met Dr. Walker by through a telephone call while I was waiting in the hospital for my operation. He asked me if I wanted to keep waiting for surgery on my operation day when he had already operated on many other patients. He told me that if I didn’t want to keep waiting, I could eat and he would try to schedule me first on the following day. This was an example of how much he truly cared for me and my treatment over the six months since my surgery. He is direct, explains medical details succinctly, and always has a welcoming smile. I am grateful that I met Dr. Walker and that he gave me my life back by repairing my arm.

Dr. Shashank Dwivedi was extremely helpful with options and explaining the different ways I could receive the surgery. He helped with a flawless procedure and made sure that I was taken care of with my Occupational Therapist. I would highly recommend Dr. Dwivedi and his team.

One year ago today, I was in the worst pain of my life. My right hip was bone on bone, and the pain was so intense. I wasn’t sleeping at night, and I couldn’t walk or sit for longer than a few minutes. Immediately after the surgery with Dr. Nessler, I was up and walking short distances with absolutely zero pain. The recovery was very smooth and within the first three days, I was doing great! I am nothing but grateful for the TCO team.

Dr. Carlson and Melissa Thompson were outstanding in their determination to fix an inappropriate denial of a partial knee replacement by my insurance company. The surgery needed to be rescheduled and Dr. Carlson called to personally apologize despite the situation not being his fault. Both Dr. Carlson and Melissa gave it their full effort to help resolve my problem. I am very pleased with the way the TCO team responded to the situation. Thank you to everyone involved!

Everything went very well with my trigger finger surgery from Dr. Dwivedi. Things were explained very well in pre-op clinic appointments and during the day of the surgery. Overall, I am feeling better and I am very happy with my experience and results. I would definitely recommend Dr. Dwivedi!

I am beyond thrilled with the experience and results of my carpal tunnel release surgeries with Dr. Dwivedi. For years I had dealt with numbness and burning in my hands any time I gripped anything. That meant I stopped participating in most activities I loved like canoeing, cycling, and playing video games. Now I have no issues with any of those activities! My surgeries were done approximately six months apart, first on my right hand then my left. Both times I was treated with professionalism, respect, and patience. I opted to be sedated both times, and it seemed like the surgery itself was just a quick nap! The pain was minimal – I feel like I’ve suffered worse from falls off my bike.

I was able to type for work within a couple days. While aesthetics wasn’t a key concern of mine, I can say that both incisions healed with minimal scarring. I honestly don’t know how this could have gone any better. If you’re experiencing carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms, it’s well worth your time to give TCO a call.
