Patient Testimonials

Dr. Arntson is very knowledgeable and he explained my hip condition to me in detail so I understood. He answered my questions thoroughly. The procedure went very well. The team helped me through my overnight stay and were extremely professional. I was never in pain and all of the at-home instructions were easy to follow. My experience has been very positive and I had excellent care. Thank you!

Right away at my first appointment with Dr. Owen O’Neill, I felt confident that his knowledge and experience with hip surgery made him an excellent choice for my procedure. I immediately decided to go ahead with his recommendation of hip replacement. Working with his team after the appointment was extremely easy and I was scheduled for surgery within three weeks.

I would recommend anterior hip replacement to anyone who needs hip replacement surgery. Dr. O’Neill and his team had me walking two hours after surgery. Three days later, I felt comfortable waking without the walker. After two weeks of increasing my walking with more household activities, I felt confident in driving my van. Eventually I was back to hiking on local nature trails, which I hadn’t done in ten months. Six weeks after surgery, I got back on my Harley Davidson and could ride again, which I also wasn’t able to do for ten months.

I would recommend Dr. O’Neill and his team to anyone who would benefit from having hip replacement surgery. They allowed me to get my life back. I was on the road to a total sedentary life before my surgery. I was pain free only when I was sitting or lying down. Thank you Dr. O’Neill.

Dr. O’Neill and his very professional team provided excellent care related to my anterior right hip replacement. I had my left hip done with a posterior procedure at another medical facility and the anterior procedure was a night and day different experience. Dr. O’Neill performed the surgery at 9:30am and I was at home recovering at 7:00pm. I was fully recovered after 6 weeks but back to usual activities in 3 weeks. The posterior left hip surgery resulted in muscle spasms that lasted 6 months and impaired usual activities and driving in some form for that length of time. I could not believe the difference in these surgeries. I definitely recommend Dr. O’Neill and the anterior procedure

I have no pain at all since my surgery. Everything is going beautifully. I would highly recommend TCO to anyone having joint replacement surgery. Dr. Arntson and doctors at TCO are the very best!

I had my second hip replaced by Dr. Arntson with the anterior approach. The surgery went really well. I was up and walking the same day and was released the next day. Within a few days, I was walking well on my own but kept a cane nearby just in case I needed it. I’m one month post-op and I am walking and biking miles with minimal pain. It’s much better than my first hip replacement. I had a lot of pain while in recovery from that one.

Dr. Arntson replaced my left hip with the anterior procedure. I was able to walk pain free immediately with very few restrictions. There has been very little pain, especially at the incision site. Now, 6 weeks post-op, there is no pain and no restriction of movement. I am very pleased with the results. Why did I wait so long? Thank you Dr. Arntson!

After several years of hip pain, I decided to seek help. I heard about Dr. Owen O’Neill through a friend who had a hip replacement. Dr. O’Neill was thorough and attentive. He made me feel confident in the surgery and recovery plan. I could not be happier with my care from start to finish. The whole process went exceptionally well. His whole team should be commended for their support and professionalism!

A friend referred me to Dr. Owen O’Neill when I learned that I would need a hip replacement and I’m so glad he did. Dr. O’Neill and his whole team made my experience an extremely good one. I had my surgery 2 months ago and I am now pain-free! Prior to my surgery, standing up was so painful that I had to wait a few seconds before I could walk. I am a pretty active person and I thought it was just a muscular issue so I tried to ignore the pain and just stretch all of the time. Now it is a different story.

I finally have no pain and can walk without a limp. For the winter, I brought my road bike inside and put it on a trainer. I ride every day and can’t wait for nice weather to come back around! My recovery went so well that I went back to work part-time in 2 weeks after the surgery! I was first told by another surgeon about a posterior method to replace my hip. He said it would be a 6-week recovery. I would definitely recommend Dr. O’Neill to others and the Anterior Hip Replacement Surgery that he does. In fact, I already have. My family and friends are amazed by my recovery. I am a Dental Hygienist and my patients can’t believe I just had my hip replaced. Thank you so much to Dr. O’Neill and his whole team for taking such good care of me!

I had a great experience from beginning to end. I have been able to walk without assistance since the day of my surgery. The care I received from everyone was great and the EXCEL program was awesome! I highly recommend Dr. Arntson and his team.

Right after surgery I felt so much better, for I had so much pain before. The week before surgery, when I had to go off all NSAIDs and anti-inflammatories, was very painful. After surgery I didn’t need any narcotics, just hydroxyzine for 7 nights while at home. I am now walking without pain- a little numbness by the incision and a little pain up the buttocks after doing exercises, but do not need to take anything for it. My hip has felt so much better since surgery. Thank you so much.
