Patient Testimonials

Dr. Dwivedi provided me with excellent service in resolving my carpal tunnel issues with both hands. He explained what it was, how it affected my hands and wrists, what the surgery entailed and what to expect post-surgery. He answered all my questions and I was completely satisfied with the experience. His care team was outstanding and set up appointments for surgery, post-op and therapy as well as complete pre-op instructions. I highly recommend Dr. Dwivedi and his care team members at TCO for orthopedic problem resolution.

I have been Dr. Mertens’ patient since 2013. He is an amazing doctor. He always greets you with a smile and carries himself like he doesn’t have a problem in the world. He is always open to hearing about your health issues so he can help you get better. He listens to what you have to say and he doesn’t over talk you. If it’s something he’s not sure about, he goes to his computer to find the answers. He guides you the right way. He studies his patients he knows what’s good for you. I wouldn’t trade him for the world and I would follow him anywhere for my healthcare needs.

He and his care coordinator, Holly, are an awesome team. I will recommend that everyone that struggling with Lupus goes to see his team. If you want to get well enough to continue an active lifestyle, he is the doctor you want to see. Thank you Dr. Mertens for being my doctor.

I was so impressed by Dr. Engasser’s professional yet kind manner. He was able to explain what was going on with my ankle instability and how we would work to fix it. Each time I spoke with him and his staff I never felt I rushed, rather valued! Bravo Dr. Engasser and team. I’m completely healed and active once again!

Dr. Mittelsteadt is the best. He is very caring and competent. After years of ankle pain I am thankful for having such a great surgeon.

My hand feels so much better after surgery. I am able to sleep so much better. The pain is really missing now. Dr. Dwivedi was so easy to communicate with and listened to all my concerns. The surgery went so well on my left hand and I’m having surgery on the right one too. Many thanks to Dr. Dwivedi and his wonderful staff.

I met Alicia Barnick, CPT in mid-November of 2020. I was scheduled to have knee replacement surgery in February of 2021. I wanted to get stronger before that surgery and took advantage of TCO having a Personal Trainer. Alicia and I hit it off right away. She was very caring and concerned with my physical needs as she helped prepare me for surgery. Since 2020, I have continued working with Alicia through her Pilates sessions. She is always attune to what I need whether it be strengthening or stretching my muscles. She challenges me but is also very attentive to my physical setbacks which include low back pain and my right hip before and after hip replacement surgery in 2022.

I have had many physical highs and lows, and Alicia was always there supporting my efforts. Alicia is a great asset to TCO. I hope that she is appreciated for her commitment to her clients and her hard work for TCO. Alicia is one of the biggest reasons why I have had such long lasting physical strength and stability.

Dr Bircher and his team did a great job replacing my arthritic hip. I had no trouble recovering and my hip feels great.

I want to thank Dr. Scott McGarvey for the difference he made in my life’s activities since my surgery in September 2022. It is so nice to be able to lie on my back with a sheet and blanket, go hiking through the woods for two hours, and walk up and down the stairs facing forward (not sideways) without pain. I can look ahead when I walk instead of looking down to avoid stepping on a pebble. And no more limping! I just wish I had the surgery years ago. Dr. McGarvey is the BEST.

Dr. O’Neill and his team is simply the best. From the first appointment all the way through surgery and follow up, everyone was professional and took their time to answer any questions about the procedure and PT program. Dr. O’Neill did a wonderful job and I am pain free and back to my normal activities. I highly recommend Dr. O’Neill and his team if you are looking for a first class orthopedic surgeon and support team. I couldn’t be more pleased with the whole experience.

I saw Dr. Bhatt and I was very impressed (10 out of 10) with the care and knowledge she has in the hand and elbow area. She was easy to speak with and talked about my pain without using all of those big medical terms. I would highly recommend her.
