Patient Testimonials

I saw Dr. Leafblad to discuss treatment for my arthritic right shoulder. Dr. Leafblad was very thorough during his examination. He tested the strength and flexibility of that shoulder. He explained my options for treatment very thoroughly. His recommendation was to try a cortisone shot in my shoulder joint to see if it would provide pain relief. He explained that there might be shoulder replacement surgery needed in the future. Dr. Leafblad performed carpal tunnel surgery on both my hands earlier this year, too. He is an extremely caring and kind doctor who puts his patients at ease.

Dr. Hoel and his team provided excellent care from the first visit to the last appointment following surgery. I was having problems with my neck and back. He came into the room fully prepared to discuss everything that was causing my problems and what options I had going forward. I decided to have the cervical discectomy and fusion, and I had excellent results. My balance is improving and the main reason the surgery was necessary is so that I could continue skiing, biking, and golfing. I am 77 years old and there is a lot of damage to my spine and neck due to arthritis. Dr. Hoel did the surgery with a small incision that hardly shows. I had minimal pain in my upper back, due to the fusion that was done. I highly recommend Dr. Hoel and trust him to give me an honest opinion. He listens and answers all questions thoughtfully. I never felt rushed.

Dr. Hofkens was very thorough in describing what to expect as a result of an cortisone injection around my shoulder. He spent time describing the procedure and made me feel comfortable with the injection. He is very kind and caring.

Dr. Coetzee is the absolute best doctor. I cannot say enough great things about him and his staff. They are professional and caring, and they explain everything in detail. I was walking the next day and other doctors said it could be 4 to 6 weeks. I healed perfectly while walking with a boot. Surgery was easy and highly recommend them.

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 both knees replaced in November and December 2022. In August of 2023, I am walking pain free. For both of my surgeries, Dr. Marcus Mittelsteadt receives a perfect 10. I could not be happier with my results. From the clinics, to the hospital and therapy staff, everyone is knowledgeable and friendly.

I had a hip replacement on June 20th with Dr. Owen O’Neill in Edina. I choose him because I had had a consultation with another physician and felt unsure about the whole process. When I met with Dr. O’Neill, he took the time to listen to me, explained the procedure thoroughly, and addressed other issues to help me recover better. I left my consultation motivated to get healthier and stronger. My surgery went great, recovery was really good, and I was back at work doing hair a month later! I had the most positive experience and would highly recommend Dr. O’Neill!

When we first thought I may have concussion symptoms, my dad scheduled an appointment with Dr. Parker Hanson at TCO Edina-Crosstown. Dr. Hanson explained everything very clearly and gave us a thorough debrief of what concussions are all about. He then referred me to Michael Steiner, DPT, at the TCO Burnsville clinic.

Michael really knew what he was doing, and I felt confident that he could get me back to playing lacrosse in no time. He explained everything to me and continued to motivate me. I had exertion, ocular, and vestibular intolerance issues and knew it would be a longer process, but I had no doubt in the world that Michael could get me back to lacrosse stronger than before.

My goal was to play at least one lacrosse game during the spring season. With the help of Michael and Dr. Trent Cole, who partnered with him on my vision therapy, I was able to play in the last game of the season. I scored two goals, had an assist, and helped my team win the game. Thank you to everyone at TCO for helping me!

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%!
