Patient Testimonials

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.

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. 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.

Dr. Mittelsteadt is the best! I had surgery to remove a bunion, and he did an excellent job! He took the time to explain the surgery and answer all my questions. He is very friendly and truly cares about his patients. I highly recommend him and his team to others. It is a breath of fresh air to have a surgeon who doesn’t treat you like a number.

We cannot say enough good things about Dr. Caroline Chen and her care coordinator, Jennifer. From the moment we walked into the office, we were treated with kindness, respect, and genuine concern for my well-being. Dr. Chen is knowledgeable, thorough, and took the time to explain everything clearly. She listened carefully to our concerns and created treatment plans that made us feel confident and comfortable.

Jennifer is equally outstanding! She is always friendly, thorough, and seamless in her communication when helping us schedule appointments. It’s clear that she truly cares about patients and goes above and beyond to ensure everyone receives exceptional care. Together, Dr. Chen and Jennifer make an amazing team! I highly recommend TCO to anyone looking for compassionate, professional, and high-quality foot care.

Dr. Chen took care of my child when he fractured his tibia. She answered all our many questions and was very reassuring about his recovery process. We had a great experience with Dr. Chen and the whole care team at TCO!

I saw Dr. Chen for a broken ankle and was able to get an appointment with her very quickly. Once she determined that surgery was necessary, the procedure was also scheduled quickly. The surgery went very smoothly and any questions I had were answered immediately by her or her care coordinator, Jennifer. I was extremely happy with the whole process at TCO and for finding relief from an unfortunate painful situation. I would definitely recommend Dr. Chen and her team!

This was my first time seeing Dr. Chen. I saw a poster at TCO Eagan introducing her to the team, so I decided to schedule an appointment. I was very impressed with her knowledge and demeanor. She was very kind, cheerful, and oh so very helpful. After seeing two other physicians about my foot, she was able to give me two surgery options to choose from. I would very highly recommend Dr. Chen to anyone having foot or ankle issues or in need of an orthopedic surgeon. I will definitely be seeing her again if any other foot issues arise. Thank you Dr. Chen for all that you’ve done for me. My surgery was a great success!

I have been having pain in my right foot and ankle from arthritis. Dr. Chen had X-rays taken then examined my foot and ankle. We discussed cortisone shots but she felt it wouldn’t work as effectively for me. Instead, she prescribed wedges in the heels of my shoes and stretching exercises for my calves and ankles. I started using the wedges on June 17th and the exercises on June 18th. They seem to be reducing my pain. I will keep doing them and hope for more improvement.

I was a nervous about what might be going on with my ankle pain. It was getting worse, and I began to have trouble walking. Dr. Bisch put me right at ease. He was professional, knowledgeable, and thorough. He also had a very caring manner about him, which helped with my nervousness. He did a comprehensive exam and ordered the necessary tests I needed. He was clear when discussing my next steps. He truly listened to my concerns about long term implications. His goal was more than just a quick fix. Dr. Bisch helps people get back to what they love to do. I feel very confident and relieved that my ankle issue would not have long-term impacts on my life. I am grateful to have received such great care.
