Patient Testimonials

Dr. Olmsted and his team, Matt and Kelli, are simply superlative. I have been a patient with them for ten years and have always been so pleased with their patient interaction, solicitousness, knowledge, and the explanation of the treatment plan. Dr. Olmsted combines adroit skill and experience to provide a salutary outcome. Thank you so much for all of this!

Wow, where do I start. Dr. Arntson was such a professional from day one. He never told me what to do, but explained all possibilities in details so I could make an educated decision. I chose anterior hip replacement surgery. I highly recommend this approach. My recovery was quick and the pain went away quickly too. I had a friend that chose the posterior approach and he said at 4 weeks, I was so much farther ahead on my recovery than he was. I also recommend the NICE ICE suit which made 20 minutes of icing on and off very easy. I’d like to add that the entire staff of nurses, PT’s, X-ray staff, and others that helped me through this were wonderful. They really do care about your health and recovery. Great job, Dr. Arntson and staff.

I am astounded that I was able to get into this wonderful clinic on just a moments notice. They take walk-ins! Travis Urbatch, PA-C was so personable and took X-rays for me. He ended up giving me a steroid shot for the pain in my overused knee. I was so thrilled. He was also willing to do the same for my painful finger joint so it wouldn’t lock up without feeling like I had to break it to get it to straighten out! All of that was done in one walk-in visit. I have to travel soon and the thought of hurting so much in the trip was worrying me. Thank you Travis. You are a great provider.

Dr. James Bircher is a fantastic surgeon. He was very interested in all levels of my health from our first meeting. It has been 3 months since surgery and Dr. Bircher is still following up. The physical therapy department is also very educated, dedicated, and thorough. Three months ago it was hard to do almost everything. Today my knee is 100% better. Thank You Dr. Bircher and TCO!

Both Dr. Marek and Ryan Bakko, PA-C are both very patient and knowledgeable. I’ve been under their care for at least 5 years, they are the people I recommend for any hand issues.

I just wanted to say thank you to Dr. Ridley for his care in repairing my knee/ACL. While I definitely wasn’t thrilled about having surgery, he made me feel at ease with the process and I appreciate it! While I hope to not need his services again, I will recommend him and TCO to anyone in need in the future.

I had hip surgery in March 2023. The efficiency and communication during this time was excellent. The care team kept us informed before, during and after the  surgery. I am very happy with the great job Dr. Bircher did.

After 10 years of foot pain and being diagnosed with stress fractures, I went to see Dr. Engasser. He immediately ordered a MRI due to the length of time that I had been wearing a post-surgical sandal and dealing with the pain. I was diagnosed with a pinched nerve between my toes. We tried the cortisone shot and unfortunately that didn’t work. He performed surgery on the left foot, and for the first time I’m walking pain free. I can’t believe the difference this has made in my life. If you are having any problems with your feet I highly recommend Dr. Engasser.

My ankle bothered me for several years. Then I saw Dr. Hanson who quickly diagnosed the problem and treated it immediately with an injection. The injection worked and Dr. Hanson is a rock star. He has great bed side manner and carefully explained what needed to be done for my ankle. I am pretty savvy when it comes to selecting my doctors. On a scale of 1 to 10, Dr. Hanson is an 11. I highly recommend Dr. Hanson to anyone dealing with a lingering ankle issue.

Dr. Karlstad did a phenomenal job on my thumb, which had severe arthritis. It was very painful before surgery. Now the pain is gone and function is returning. He is a fantastic doctor!
