Patient Testimonials

I fell on the ice on January 20, 2020 and ended up with a massive rotator cuff tear and bicep tear. I went to another provider first and was told my injury was “unfixable.” They told me I would need a total reverse shoulder replacement and that my golfing life is done! These were not words or results I could live with. A friend recommended TCO and I was lucky enough to get paired with Dr. Klassen.

Dr. Klassen took the time to really explain the extent of my injuries and what my options were to fix them. He knew that if he couldn’t repair my rotator cuff, he could rebuild it. I had surgery on June 4th. When I woke up he told me that my tendon, although severely retracted, had been flexible and allowed him to repair the cuff. I had minimal pain right after surgery and am now 12 weeks post-op. My range of motion is really good. I just started strength training and I am back to putting and chipping (off a tee) already! Dr. Klassen is approachable, friendly, funny, and takes the time to explain and answer all questions. He is a wonderful surgeon. I highly recommend him and TCO.

I highly recommend Dr. Holthusen. He is ‘technically’ smart and knows the latest techniques. In addition to that, he takes time to explain things, answer questions, and smile – all in one great package. I’m very happy with the results and will go to him in the future should the need arise. He works with a fantastic team too!

In May of 2019 I had a total knee operation done at a different practice. Three months later I was having issues and went back to the same doctor. He said he didn’t know what it was and that I should come back in one year. I returned twice in June of 2020. Again, my doctor said he didn’t know what it was and that I should get a 2nd opinion. Then he left the room.

That’s when my therapist from TCO recommended that I see Dr. Owen O’Neill. Dr. O’Neill recommended arthroscopy. I had the procedure and now the pain, crunching, etc. is gone. I will never go to another practice. Dr. O’Neill, TCO and the entire staff have been a blessing. I wish that I could give them all a hug.

I highly recommend Dr. Owen O’Neill and his staff. In 2017 he replaced my right hip and this past June he replaced the left. Both surgeries were a complete success. Dr O’Neill, his staff and TCO made the whole process easy and convenient. I was nervous and worried about the surgeries, but they are so good and caring. They simply put you at ease. It’s wonderful to be able to walk without pain. I’m once again enjoying an active lifestyle. Kudos to you Dr. O’Neill!

Dr. Crowe and his team are top notch! My back and leg pain are gone! The EXCEL program with TCO was a great program during this virus pandemic.

I have long been a competitive runner and have dealt with various leg and foot injuries along the way. Dr. David Anderson has taken care of me and always in a conservative manner. I feel confident in Dr. Anderson and that confidence is always borne out with positive results.

Dr. Chris Meyer is a quiet, get it done right professional. My total hip replacement has been a positive and healing experience with good follow up visits. As time goes on I know I am in good hands with Dr. Meyer and his competent staff.

My experience with Dr. Chris Meyer at TCO was truly extraordinary, and I am very grateful for his expertise and competence on the operating table, during after-care appointments, and for the long-term follow-up support.

Dr. Meyer is an excellent surgeon and came highly recommended to me by a personal friend, who is also a physician. I had a great deal of confidence because of the three-word recommendation from my friend: “There’s nobody better.”

Dr. Meyer and his staff were professional, thorough, careful to explain steps and expectations, and personally made me feel important. The communication was always precise, and I was able to clearly understand steps, projected length of surgery, recovery time and other pertinent details regarding physical therapy and care at home. Dr. Meyer showed me x-rays of my new right hip and my other hip replacement that was done about 15 years earlier and explained the differences. He informed me that I would have more flexibility in my new hip because of research and technological advances.

I am sticking with these three words: “There’s nobody better!”

I would recommend Dr. Deal to any friend or family member. I had an L4-5 microdisectomy and Dr. Deal and his staff were supportive and experts throughout the process and my outcome was very positive!

Dr. Eggers was wonderful! He listened to me and created a treatment plan that is beneficial in limiting the pain from OA in my cervical spine. He was funny and had such a refreshing bedside manner. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Eggers to anyone who has spine issues.
