Patient Testimonials

I received top notch care from beginning to the end. Dr. Ridley and TCO staff answered all my questions honestly from the beginning. Physical therapy staff were vital in my path to healing. Trust the process, it works!

I just had shoulder replacement surgery with Dr. Michael Johnson. I was referred to him by a family member. After being somewhat doubtful of my original surgeon choice, I obtained a second opinion with Dr. Johnson. After reviewing my records, he told me more about what needed to be done than anyone else. I’m 6 days post-op and definitely made the right choice by switching doctors. Highly recommend!

Before coming to TCO, my shoulder injury was misdiagnosed three times. When I met Dr. Butterfield, he did a thorough exam and ordered an MRI to determine the actual cause of my injury. Dr. Butterfield was able to find the problem quickly and we decided the best treatment was surgery to repair a SLAP tear in my shoulder. I was walked through the entire process from start to finish and after my surgery and physical therapy with Seth, I was back to 100% quickly. I work and play hard, and having my shoulder back to normal has enabled me to get back to work and playing hockey again. I couldn’t be happier with my experience at TCO and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone.

My right shoulder was so painful I could not even reach the car radio without supporting my right arm. I tried the old “just rub some dirt on it” routine, but it just kept getting worse. I finally made an appointment with Dr. Norberg and he said it would not get better without surgery. He suggested a reverse shoulder replacement and we proceeded with the surgery. The first couple days are no fun, but honestly, it was worth it. I can not only adjust the radio and heater, but do other stuff as well. I’m so happy I had Dr. Norberg do the surgery!

I can always count on my physical therapist to recommend top-notch healthcare providers. His recommendation of Dr. Frank Norberg was no exception. From Dr. Norberg’s initial diagnosis to his surgical skills and thorough post-op check-up, I was 100% satisfied with the care I received. Thank you, Dr. Norberg — I am grateful for your expertise.

I had an arthritic shoulder that was so painful. I was greatly limited in my basic daily tasks and it greatly disrupted my sleep. Dr. Norberg performed a reverse shoulder replacement and I am pain free. I am able to sleep and now get back to golf. He is a wonderful doctor and has an outstanding bedside manner.

After slipping and falling on my icy driveway, an MRI revealed three tears to my rotator cuff, and I needed surgery. The recovery is a marathon, but I’m grateful to have had a gifted surgeon like Dr. Frank Norberg. I’ve had a fabulous recovery so far, and I just feel really fortunate.    Watch Frank’s Recovery Story

Dr. Parker Hanson and his staff did an excellent job helping me overcome a frozen shoulder. He worked efficiently and methodically at diagnosing the problem in a single session. He performed tests to rule out other causes (like tears and fractures) and aligned the treatment with the root cause of my pain, which ended up being a freezing shoulder. After the diagnosis and one additional visit, he efficiently conducted an outpatient procedure, which dramatically reduced the overall time spent regaining mobility in my frozen shoulder. Having previously gone through a frozen shoulder experience, which lasted many months, I can say Dr. Hanson’s treatment method has sped up my overall recovery time.

I was told I had a significant tear in my rotator cuff, with bone spurs and arthritis. Dr. Lewis was straight to the point and gave me his recommendation to have surgery, but ultimately it was my choice. I did not hesitate in making an appointment for surgery. Dr. Lewis and the staff at TCO were professional and very kind. After surgery I went to physicial therapy at TCO. My physical therapists, Chris and Amy, where great. They were very personal, made me feel comfortable, and worked with me through recovery. I am 6 months post-surgery and my shoulder is back to normal, with no pain! I am sleeping at night with no issues. I highly recommend Dr. Lewis and TCO.

I had total shoulder replacement in May 2022. I highly, highly recommend Dr. Peterson for any type of orthopedic replacement/repair surgery! He’s an all-around great guy; super friendly, confident and very knowledgeable! I did really well after surgery, had wonderful care at TCO Wyoming, and follow-up was the best with Dr. Peterson and his fabulous team.
