Patient Testimonials

After my son broke his wrist, we went to see Dr. Adam Bakker, and he put in plate and screws. There is no doubt in my mind he is an excellent surgeon and doctor, we are 100% happy with his work and his communication skills.

Although my index finger had been bent by arthritis for a few years, the pain was new. Pain escalated until the slightest bump felt like shards of glass in my finger. I was referred to Dr. Nishant Dwivedi by Melissa Olson, hand therapist.

At my first appointment, Dr. Dwivedi showed me the x-rays and explained no therapy or splint would help, and that I needed surgery. A few weeks later, Dr. Dwivedi fused a joint in my finger. I have not had even the slightest pain since surgery. My finger is straight and pain free! Melissa taught me several exercises and massage therapies, which kept the incision soft and gave me great range of motion in that finger. It’s amazing how the absence of pain in one finger can make every day so much better!

Dr. Shashank Dwivedi performed trigger thumb surgery on me. He was knowledgeable, friendly and took all the time I needed to answer all of my questions. I made a complete recovery. I give him my highest recommendation

Dr. Steven Meletiou performed a left thumb CMC joint surgery as I had very painful arthritis. The surgery went well and healing has gone better than expected. I am progressing a couple weeks ahead of expected recovery and using my thumb for many daily tasks. His care team is amazing, very thoughtful, kind and thorough. I am grateful for a surgeon who is meticulous in what they do! Thank you Dr. Meletiou and team!

Three months ago, Dr. Shashank Dwivedi performed surgery on my injured pinky finger joint. Previously, I was barely able to bend my pinky. Now, three months after the surgery and hand therapy I received at TCO, I can bend my pinky in a fist. It seems just about completely back to normal. I think Dr. Dwivedi did a great job, and I am very happy with the results.

Dr. Etasha Bhatt is very knowledgeable and friendly, helped me understand what my options were and we made a plan for future care. Highly recommend.

I went 36 years of life without any surgeries. I finally broke my wrist snowboarding, went to TCO because I had heard good things. Dr. Mark Fischer took care of it quickly, it was a good experience. I ran my thumb through a table saw shortly after the wrist healed. I then snapped the tendon as soon as I began using it again, and seeking a specialist like Dr. Fischer helped repaired the tendon and used the opportunity to remove the metal plate in my wrist from our prior surgery. His physical therapy team was great, and everything works as it should. See a specialist, get it done right the first time.

Dr. Etasha Bhatt performed surgery on my right ring finger which was badly injured due to a sport-related injury. The surgery went well, and I was on the path to healing soon after. It did not take long to get home, everything was quick and smooth. I was able to get follow-up appointments soon enough. I will recommend her and am happy with the overall care that was provided by TCO.

Dr. Bakker fixed my wrist when others could not. I am forever grateful for his skill and compassion.

Three years ago, I rolled my pickup truck on black ice and nearly severed my left hand at the wrist. We are so grateful that Dr. Mark Fischer was the hand specialist who accepted my case. He performed several of the surgeries I’ve had over the last three years, consulted closely with the plastic surgeon, and followed my therapy progress the entire time. Dr. Fischer took extra time going over the follow-up x-rays, explaining and discussing at length the options at every visit and truly cared for me. He updated my wife after each surgery, explaining in detail the procedures and expectations. Because of Dr. Fischer’s expertise and knowledge of the latest technology and therapies available, I can now use my left hand and a couple fingers to hold utensils. I appreciate Dr. Fischer listening to me, and his persistence in helping me achieve use of my left wrist, hand, and fingers. We are forever grateful and highly recommend Dr. Mark Fischer.
