Patient Testimonials

Could not ask for a better outcome for my hip replacement done by Dr. Arntson. First time in years that I’m pain free. Get it done, it’s so worth it!

The entire experience was fantastic! My surgery with Dr. Arntson went great and my whole care team was phenomenal. I was walking immediately and was relatively pain free within 10 to 14 days. It’s been 6 weeks since my surgery and there’s virtually nothing I can’t do, and all of it is pain free. Everything was fantastic!

Stop reading and get the hip! 7 years ago, I was told hip replacement was in my future and being an athlete, I doubled down on workouts, shoe inserts, therapy and eventually cortisone and hyaluronic acid. At 49, the first shot of cortisone made me feel 30 again and the second did nothing. I had hip replaced by Dr. Horazdovsky on June 2nd and as I write this on June 15^th, I am sitting with only a minor itch from the scar and using over the counter meds for the last 13 days. My range of motion is already better than before! It was my left hip, so I was driving very soon after and back at gym! He directed me to the Dual Mobility hip and performed an anterior procedure which has me recovering faster. The hardest thing is not to overdo it, as I feel brand new! The EXCEL nurses were fabulous, as well as the whole TCO team. I used a walker for 3 days and cane for 3 days, and then when I am tired and to keep me walking straight! My whole workout class almost fainted after seeing me back for light upper body workout within a week after surgery!

Four years ago, I was experiencing some hip discomfort on my right side. I just assumed it was because of my active lifestyle and some muscle soreness. There were 2 people I worked with that both had hip replacements from Dr. Owen O’Neill, so they encouraged me to seek him out. Sure enough, there was some arthritis that was causing that discomfort. I endured it for 4 years because it was never that painful. However, it reached a “bone-on-bone” stage where it needed replacing. I was prepared for the worst in my mind, but the entire process was so smooth and worry free, that it was hard to believe I actually had a major surgical procedure. I was up on my feet and off the walker within 3-4 days. Swimming, walking and riding my bike within 3 weeks, and back to golfing at 8 weeks. I jokingly asked Dr. O’Neill if my golf game would improve after this procedure, and he said if it did, he would like to take credit for that as well and maybe start marketing his services in that manner. Let me say that my golf game is no better, but no worse, as I am back taking some much needed golf lessons. The entire staff at TCO has been absolutely top notch all around!

The anterior hip surgery with Dr. Arntson was so great! I couldn’t believe how fast I was able to walk with a cane (1.5 weeks then went to cane). After 5 weeks I’m doing everything on my own. Can’t say enough goo things about his care and concern. Would recommend him highly!

Dr. Comfort did an excellent job navigating the right course of action, involving a very difficult diagnosis of my back/hip issue. He determined a hip replacement was not the right course of action, which likely saved me a lot of pain and recovery time on what could have been an unnecessary operation.

From our initial meeting with Dr. Arntson, through surgery and recovery, everyone was professional, courteous, and patient explaining the entire process. Dr. Arntson is very caring and thorough. I highly recommend TCO.

My experience with Dr. O’Neill and the EXCEL Program team could not have been any better. From the preparation to surgery and follow-up, things exceeded my expectations. Speaking from experience, if you are in need of a hip replacement, this is your guy!

Dr. Sanders is the very best. He did so much for me. He is brilliant and very kind. Thank you, Dr. Sanders!

I have danced competitively for almost 15 years. After six months of chronic hip pain, I went to see Dr. Ridley. I was afraid that surgery was going to cut my final year of dancing short, but then he offered a treatment plan to relieve my pain and keep me dancing. The PRP injection has truly changed my life. From being in constant pain and unable to do what I love, I was at an all-time low. The PRP injection worked so incredibly well and eliminated 80% of my pain with no major surgery or pain medication.
