Patient Testimonials

When we first thought I may have concussion symptoms, my dad scheduled an appointment with Dr. Parker Hanson at TCO Edina-Crosstown. Dr. Hanson explained everything very clearly and gave us a thorough debrief of what concussions are all about. He then referred me to Michael Steiner, DPT, at the TCO Burnsville clinic.

Michael really knew what he was doing, and I felt confident that he could get me back to playing lacrosse in no time. He explained everything to me and continued to motivate me. I had exertion, ocular, and vestibular intolerance issues and knew it would be a longer process, but I had no doubt in the world that Michael could get me back to lacrosse stronger than before.

My goal was to play at least one lacrosse game during the spring season. With the help of Michael and Dr. Trent Cole, who partnered with him on my vision therapy, I was able to play in the last game of the season. I scored two goals, had an assist, and helped my team win the game. Thank you to everyone at TCO for helping me!

I had very bad pain before surgery. I woke up from surgery and the pain was 100% gone. I’m extremely happy and satisfied with Dr. Hoel. He was great!

I couldn’t be happier than the outcome of my surgery! Dr. Hoel and his team are the best! I felt like I was in the best care because of his optimism and the way he made me feel at ease. I had total confidence in him doing my surgery after I first met with him and his staff. Also, I could not have had my surgery done if it wasn’t for his care coordinator. She went out of her way to get my surgery done because of a mishap with insurance. I would totally recommend Dr. Hoel 100%!

Dr. Bircher did revision surgery on May 25, 2023. He replaced a previous total knee replacement. He was thorough in his explanation of the procedure and the inherent risks. The surgery went well and the results border on miraculous. In 6 weeks I was climbing stairs with only minor difficulty and driving. In 8 weeks I was back to work and resuming most normal activities. Thank you Dr. Bircher.

I cannot begin to express my gratitude for Dr. Ridley’s support and knowledge throughout this process. When I tore my ACL, I was devastated and I figured my collegiate hockey career was over. But I can’t thank you and your team enough for turning that around. TCO, and Dr. Ridley was so helpful in getting me back on the ice. Everyone genuinely cared for my recovery and always answered any questions or issues I had. Thank you!

I am grateful that Dr. Jeremiah Johnson was the on-call trauma surgeon when I needed emergency surgery on a weekend. He is bright and compassionate. He is an analytical and innovative problem-solver. He is astute and attentive, nothing falls through the cracks. In addition, he has assembled an amazing support team. My recovery will take time and it’s comforting to know that they are there.

I had a broken collarbone from a mountain biking crash. Dr. Ridley‘s team was able to put me into his schedule quickly, and he surgically repaired my collarbone on very short notice. He put in a plate and 8 screws. I just had my 6-week follow up appointment and I have been healing great. I have full range of motion, no pain and am working to build back the strength in my arm.

Beyond his skills as a surgeon, what sets him apart is his approach to his patients. He was very careful to explain how the bone broke, how he planned to repair it, and then how it actually all came together. He takes the time for his patients to make sure they are comfortable and educated with what he will be doing. I 100% recommend Dr. Ridley to anyone that needs orthopedic treatment.

I ruptured my quadricep tendon a year ago. It tore right off the knee cap and one week later, Dr. Kelly surgically repaired it. With plenty of physical therapy, and one year later, I am back to normal. I am running, playing tennis, paddle boarding etc. It’s wonderful! I am completely 100% satisfied.

A great big thank you to Dr. Christopher Meyer for getting and keeping me back on the Pickleball courts. From my Meniscus repairs on both knees to my rotor cuff pain, I can’t thank you enough. Also thank you to Sommer Vaughan, PA-C who was also there to answer any questions and assist with my shots.

Sending a thank you to Dr. Teynor for handling my dad’s hip surgery 5 years ago. He spent his 91st birthday in the hospital. You looked beyond his age when determining his chance for a successful surgery. We are grateful today as he celebrates 96!
