Patient Testimonials

Dr. Szalapski has done numerous surgeries on me. I have had both my shoulders done by him. I had a knee replacement done by him, and I tore my left quad muscle off, which Dr.Szalapski reattached.  I would not have any other orthopedic surgeon do this for me.  He was wonderful. I love the fact  Dr. Szalapski is honest and very forthright with his advice on what I need to do to heal.  His assistant Joe has also been a huge part in all of my surgeries and in my healing. I cannot say enough about all of Dr. Szalapski’s staff.  Thank you to all of you.

My left anterior hip replacement has been a life enhancing experience. Dr. O’Neill completed my hip replacement in early February of 2017. The procedure gave me minimal discomfort for a couple of days after the procedure. Overall, I’ve had dental issues that have given me more discomfort than this hip replacement. I was back walking 2 miles per day two weeks after the procedure. After a month, I was back to walking my daily 3 to 4 miles per day and feeling great. I walked my first 18 holes of golf two months after the procedure with no discomfort. The stability of my new hip is amazing. 3 months post surgery, my new hip feels as good as my original equipment right hip. Dr. O’Neill and his staff did an excellent job of caring for me before, during and post surgery. What a great group of people. I highly recommend their services.

I received excellent, excellent care from Dr. Norberg and his staff. I would recommend him to anyone, anytime. I felt very comfortable and secure through the whole process. The emphasis on following rehab directions was the key to an excellent recovery.

I just want to tell Dr. Tanner I’m very grateful for his service when I was in an auto accident and he took my case to put me back together. He no longer lives in my area but I wanted to find him and thank him! If you are a current patient of Dr. Tanner you are in good hands!

Dr. Frank Norberg is a skilled and compassionate shoulder surgeon. He took time to explain the procedure thoroughly and answered all my many questions. Dr. Norberg is encouraging and supportive of my need to continue to be physically active.

I was referred to Dr. O’Keefe by my primary physician because I was having issues with my right hip. Dr. O’Keefe performed a physical and did x-rays and it was determined that I should have the hip replaced. There was no pressure from him. He said I would know when the time was right. He performed the surgery almost a year ago and I have been very happy with how my recovery has gone. Thank you very much Dr. O’Keefe and staff for your assistance.

If you are looking for a straight forward, direct response to your questions and treatment, Dr. O’Keefe is the orthopedist for you. His treatment of and eventual replacement of my knee were fully explained, options considered and decisions made together. I highly recommend Dr. O’Keefe, his support staff, and therapists. My journey to knee replacement recovery was seamless due to the care and concern of this team. I recommend Dr. O’Keefe to anyone who asks about my knee/surgery.

After an unfortunate shuffleboard (yes, really) injury, I had gone to several orthopedics with no real answers other then to continue to do physical therapy. I decided I wanted one more opinion and reached out to TCO. I’m so thankful I ended up with Dr. Olson and his assistant Chris. They really took the time to listen to my concerns and evaluate what was going on inside my knee. While there wasn’t a quick fix option, they really worked with me and provided some options to try. We’ve been making progress and I couldn’t be happier! They are on time, always willing to fit me into their schedule and are a pleasure to work with. You can really tell they love their jobs and their patients and it shows!

I have had a very good experience under Dr. Arntson and his team!
All aspects from preoperative to after surgery of my rotator cuff was wonderful
I had this surgery performed 30 years ago and extensive surgery which was much more painful recovery being non-arthroscopic
Every detail has been covered
My surgery went very well and recovery time has been much faster than I ever expected.
I just want to thank him and the team for such great job.

My life/knee has become virtually pain free upon receiving a new knee from Dr. Thomas Comfort. After 45 years of athletic abuse, my new knee now enables me to walk comfortably, play golf (reasonably well) and exercise without everyone always asking: Why are you limping? or, What’s wrong with your leg? Upon seeing my scar, many friends and family thought Dr. Comfort was a plastic surgeon; only to find out later that he uses a lot of the same techniques as plastic surgeons. All aspects of my surgery and rehab went very well. Ok, the first two weeks stunk – which is to be expected – but after that it was continual progress and satisfaction. May have to get the other knee done, after all… it’s now my weak knee… Thanks again, Doc!
