Patient Testimonials

Dr. Michalik did an outstanding job of doing the rhizotomy on my low back. The pain prior to the procedure made it very difficult to sleep and sit. I am now able to sleep and it has been a real game changer. I am so grateful to Dr. Michalik and his entire team. Thank you!

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Deal and TCO. Dr. Deal is a wonderful surgeon and I am so grateful that my sciatic nerve pain was gone when I woke up from surgery.  I had experienced that pain for nearly 6 months and to be relieved from it was such an amazing feeling for me.  He is also very personable, professional and courteous, and showed real concern for me. The physical therapy staff, particularly Leah, was the best. She is so kind and knowledgeable, and she showed great care in my recovery.  Thank you again for helping me on my health journey and allowing me to continue living my best life!

Thank you to Dr. Hoel and his team! Each and every person I dealt with was caring and professional. Dr. Hoel answered all of my questions in a thoughtful and educated manner. I felt prepared and confident going into surgery. I have my life back!

Dr. Deal and his PA-C, Nathan, took care of me in July 2023. I was having lower lumbar problems and they read the results of my MRI to me. I just want to thank them both for going over everything in detail so I could have a better understanding of what was going on. When I got back to Naples, Florida days later, I immediately started physical therapy again. And thanks to the physical therapist, he was able to alleviate most of the pain.

I am so looking forward to getting back to my daily morning walks and workouts at the club. Also, I just want to say that the entire TCO organization was a lifesaver for me when I needed it the most! When I hobbled into your facility early on a Friday morning with excruciating pain, I was seen immediately! I truly appreciated the work of those professionals! Everyone did an outstanding job, especially Joelle and Rachael in MRI Scheduling! Thanks again for your help.

I had very bad pain before surgery. I woke up from surgery and the pain was 100% gone. I’m extremely happy and satisfied with Dr. Hoel. He was great!

I couldn’t be happier than the outcome of my surgery! Dr. Hoel and his team are the best! I felt like I was in the best care because of his optimism and the way he made me feel at ease. I had total confidence in him doing my surgery after I first met with him and his staff. Also, I could not have had my surgery done if it wasn’t for his care coordinator. She went out of her way to get my surgery done because of a mishap with insurance. I would totally recommend Dr. Hoel 100%!

There are no words that can adequately express my thanks and gratitude to Dr. Deal for restoring my “functional” life.  My pain badly affected my quality of life as I was unable to walk short distances or sit comfortably.  It took a leap of faith to agree to spine surgery, but 2 months post-op I was able to vacation in Florida and 3 months post-op, I traveled to Hawaii (all with the permission of my physical therapist).  This could not have happened without Dr. Deal’s surgical skills and expertise plus the care and compassion shown by him and the TCO medical team.  It is reassuring that they continue to be readily accessible should I have any future questions or concerns.

Dr. Davis quickly and correctly diagnosed my issue after I had two laminectomies performed by another surgeon, which gave me no relief from my almost constant pain. I knew the sciatic pain was gone when I walked slowly around the halls the evening of my surgery! I healed quickly and can do anything I want now. Like hiking, biking, playing with my granddaughters on the playground, and stretching without pain. Dr. Davis and his team were wonderful and supportive. I highly, highly recommend him.

It has been one year since my back surgery and every day I am so thankful for Dr. Banks. He changed my life. Prior to surgery I was experiencing back pain that would radiate down my right leg into my foot. We tried conservative approach but soon realized that surgery was the best option. Today I can say my surgery was a success and I am back to being active. Thank you Dr. Banks.

I went to my local emergency room when I hurt my back and then discovered TCO had an Orthopedic Urgent Care. That could have saved me so much time and pain. The first time I met with Dr. Omar I felt like someone understood the exact pain I had been feeling. He looked over the imaging that had been sent to him and he explained what the diagnosis was and how to treat it. After I agreed to surgery, it was a smooth process. Dr. Omar’s assistant, Matt, was right there with the steps I needed to have done before the surgery. After the process was over Dr. Omar came to explain how it went and what my recovery should be. From the moment I walked into TCO, I felt like a person and not a number. I have been recommending to TCO for any and all orthopedic needs. I know if anything happens in the future I will be back. I thank all the staff that I have encountered for being amazing and understanding!
