Patient Testimonials

Dr. Murar did a great job fixing my shoulder. I also appreciated his bedside manner, making him great to work with. Thank you!

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!

I had surgery on both hands with Dr. Olmsted many years ago. I had the best results. I would go back to him anytime.

I highly recommend Chris Kuhn for physical therapy. He helped strengthen my muscles before my back surgery, which helped for a successful recovery. The physical therapy I received after surgery has made the healing process more bearable, and it enables me to function and enjoy life. I’m totally thankful for his help and encouragement.

I have been a patient at TCO for several years. Having arthritis in my hands and foot brought me to TCO. Both Dr. Olmsted and Dr. Coetzee did the surgeries I needed. They were compassionate and friendly. The staff were always great answered any questions I had, while offering great advice. I would highly recommend TCO to my friends and family.

Dr. Olmsted and his team, Matt and Kelli, are simply superlative. I have been a patient with them for ten years and have always been so pleased with their patient interaction, solicitousness, knowledge, and the explanation of the treatment plan. Dr. Olmsted combines adroit skill and experience to provide a salutary outcome. Thank you so much for all of this!

Dr. Norberg gave me my life back. I am a devoted swimmer and due to a badly injected flu vaccine in November 2022, I developed a severe case of SIRVA (shoulder injury related to vaccine administration). I visited many physicians at other practices and Dr. Norberg was the only physician who told me that cases of SIRVA can be serious. He also recommended to add another procedure to my shoulder surgery, something that was ignored by the other doctors.

Finally, after a cavalry of 16 months of pain and being unable to swim, I had a complicated shoulder surgery that that involved four different procedures. Dr. Norberg is an excellent surgeon and an honest, and warm human being. He will never give you a rosy picture of the recovery process. So today, after one year, I am back at the pool swimming for 30 minutes, 3 times per week. I am working towards my final goal with confidence and without pain.

Wow, where do I start. Dr. Arntson was such a professional from day one. He never told me what to do, but explained all possibilities in details so I could make an educated decision. I chose anterior hip replacement surgery. I highly recommend this approach. My recovery was quick and the pain went away quickly too. I had a friend that chose the posterior approach and he said at 4 weeks, I was so much farther ahead on my recovery than he was. I also recommend the NICE ICE suit which made 20 minutes of icing on and off very easy. I’d like to add that the entire staff of nurses, PT’s, X-ray staff, and others that helped me through this were wonderful. They really do care about your health and recovery. Great job, Dr. Arntson and staff.

I am astounded that I was able to get into this wonderful clinic on just a moments notice. They take walk-ins! Travis Urbatch, PA-C was so personable and took X-rays for me. He ended up giving me a steroid shot for the pain in my overused knee. I was so thrilled. He was also willing to do the same for my painful finger joint so it wouldn’t lock up without feeling like I had to break it to get it to straighten out! All of that was done in one walk-in visit. I have to travel soon and the thought of hurting so much in the trip was worrying me. Thank you Travis. You are a great provider.

Dr. James Bircher is a fantastic surgeon. He was very interested in all levels of my health from our first meeting. It has been 3 months since surgery and Dr. Bircher is still following up. The physical therapy department is also very educated, dedicated, and thorough. Three months ago it was hard to do almost everything. Today my knee is 100% better. Thank You Dr. Bircher and TCO!
