Patient Testimonials

Everything about Dr. Owen O’Neill, his team, TCO and the EXCEL Program were top notch. From pre-surgical prep, through surgery, post-op and rehab I have been impressed. If you want peace of mind for your orthopedic medical matters then Dr. O’Neill is your clear choice. My recent Total Knee Replacement (TKR) surgery was a great success!

I have had several prior knee surgeries from competitive sports injuries over the past 25 years, all performed by the same renowned and outstanding knee surgeon. That doctor was the “go to” person for knee surgeries! I always knew that I would eventually need a TKR so when “my” doctor retired 2 years ago, I started researching the current state of TKR technology and the very top surgeons who had the expertise in using that technology. Having professional experience in the med-tech industry, I knew what I was looking for and took my time evaluating the top docs in the field.

Dr. Owen O’Neill was a clear standout surgeon with an outstanding team and years of experience in the TKR arena. He was also an expert in the latest medical devices and surgical techniques with a proven track record. And I decided “that’s the doctor” I want to be “my” doctor, taking care of my knees and any future orthopedic medical matters I may encounter. I am strongly recommending Dr. O’Neill to my friends and fellow athletes.

On my previous testimonial, I failed to mention the profession skills provided by Jessica Cicero, PA-C during my surgery. It has come to my attention that she was responsible sewing the wound that left little to no scaring. Professionalism reigns supreme on Dr. Cooper’s entire team.

5 years ago I had bi-lateral knee replacement surgery done by Dr. Kruse, and the surgeries were 3 months apart. The surgeries went well and my recuperation went well too. I’m using those repaired knees pain-free now, as I recuperate from recent heart bypass surgery. As I do rehab for my heart, I am once again realizing that my knees are able to do the necessary walking and biking motion without any stiffness or pain thanks to Dr. Kruse and my knee surgeries. He is a great surgeon, patient focused and motivated me to use my new knees. I would highly recommend him to care for others.

From the first consultation through my rehab, TCO was amazing. The EXCEL Program made the experience very smooth. Everything was laid out very well and it was easy. Dr. Arntson did an amazing job on my knee. He exceeded all expectations. I had almost no pain in my knee after surgery and the scar is very minimal. I was told he is a great surgeon and I can say he did a fantastic job on my knee. Kudos to the whole TCO staff for making this experience as easy and painless as possible. Thank you!

Everyday my wife and I are so thankful for TCO and the great doctors and personnel. Both my wife and I had a knee replacement performed by Dr. Comfort and his great team. We are now pain-free and can enjoy doing things without worrying about our ability to walk the distance or climb the stairs. With 5 grandchildren, we can enjoy them even more now and to go places that we would not go prior to surgery. Everyone you meet at TCO makes you feel so good!

I could not be happier or have enough good things to say about the care, concern, and time that Dr. Hunt provided leading up to my surgery and afterwards. The entire EXCEL Program experience was top notch from beginning to end. The entire team was fantastic every step of the way. The best part is that I have a whole new knee and physical therapy is going great. I would highly recommend Dr. Hunt, his team, and the entire EXCEL Program. They make it effortless with everything packaged together!

The staff at TCO Chaska and Waconia offer the highest patient experience and I am so glad that we received care there. Dr. Meyer is a top-notch orthopedic surgeon. I completed all of my pre-op and post-op rehab exercises, and together, the teamwork paid off. I highly recommend Dr. Meyer and his team to anyone needing orthopedic care. I have already recommended him to several people who have asked!

I was referred to Dr. Saterbak about 7 years ago by my primary physician. My physician raved about Dr. Saterbak’ and her team. My knees were in rough shape and I have a family history of bad knees. At that time, Dr. Saterbak advised me that I would have to have my knees replaced at a very young age. After two knee scopes and rounds of cortisone shots, I had both knees replaced in 2021.

I am almost 6 weeks post-op after my second knee replacement and I feel like a new person. I did not realize how much pain I had been in. Dr. Saterbak and her team Dana and Sarah have been amazing throughout the entire time I’ve been under their care.

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

Dr. O’Neill replaced both of my knees. The surgeries went well and the physical therapy at TCO was effective and painless. Just 8 weeks after the second surgery, I am walking without a cane…pain free! Dr. O’Neill and his team are wonderful.
