Patient Testimonials

Jay Schindler and Nicole Anderson were a great team to help me recover strength in my knee following surgery! I strongly recommend them.

I went to my local emergency room when I hurt my back and then discovered TCO had an Orthopedic Urgent Care. That could have saved me so much time and pain. The first time I met with Dr. Omar I felt like someone understood the exact pain I had been feeling. He looked over the imaging that had been sent to him and he explained what the diagnosis was and how to treat it. After I agreed to surgery, it was a smooth process. Dr. Omar’s assistant, Matt, was right there with the steps I needed to have done before the surgery. After the process was over Dr. Omar came to explain how it went and what my recovery should be. From the moment I walked into TCO, I felt like a person and not a number. I have been recommending to TCO for any and all orthopedic needs. I know if anything happens in the future I will be back. I thank all the staff that I have encountered for being amazing and understanding!

I have been struggling with hip pain for over a decade. I saw a provider who told me I was too young for a hip replacement and recommended physical therapy instead. That didn’t work, and actually made the pain worse since I had dysplasia and a bone spur that was contributing to the pain. Six years later (at age 44) I was limping around my friend’s cabin and we started talking about what I could do to fix the problem. It turns out another friend’s husband recently had his hip replaced and was very happy with the results. His surgeon was Dr. Owen O’Neill, so I asked my primary for a referral. As soon as Dr. O’Neill saw my X-ray, he said “I can fix that”. I was so relieved to hear him say that a hip replacement did not have to wait until I was 50 as I was so tired of being in massive pain almost every day. Three months later I had the surgery done and I have not had any pain since. It was truly a life changing event. I can walk now without pain, and have started working out again. I can actually do squats lower than I have been able to in many years! I’m looking forward to a summer running around outside with my kids too. The healing has been fantastic. I couldn’t be happier!

I just want to thank Dr. Christopher Meyer and his staff. The program I went through was amazing. The staff was even more amazing! The team helped me throughout the whole process and answered all my questions to make it a stress-free experience. My job is pretty physical where I need to kneel and get up from a kneeling position. I am able to do my job 100% and I am able to do it without pain. I am truly thankful that I chose this doctor and the staff that supports the whole process.

Dr. Seybold is compassionate, professional, intelligent, and extremely capable. You can’t ask for more than that. I highly recommend Dr. Seybold and his staff. I am truly grateful for what they do.

I had a broken arm and from my first appointment to my final 3 month appointment, I have appreciated the professionalism and knowledge of Dr. Ridley and his team. He clearly explained my X-rays and the options available for treatment. I would definitely recommend Dr. Ridley to my family and friends.

I had my second hip replacement with Dr. Anseth and team, and I am feeling better than I have in years. I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome either time. I was impressed with each team member I worked with. There is no doubt in my mind that Dr. Anseth is the best!

Here is a photo of me celebrating my one-year hip replacement by hiking at South Mountain in Phoenix, AZ. The hiking garb is the TCO outfit I received when I had my surgery.

Both of my knees require regenerative injections. Dr. Moser did an excellent job of describing the condition, procedure and outcome. I can’t wait until my knees are back to normal. Dr. Moser clearly represents everything that puts TCO in a class by itself. Thank you!

I have had two hip replacements in the past 3 years. The first was using the posterior approach and the second was using the anterior (front) approach. I highly recommend Dr. Arntson and the anterior approach if you are contemplating a hip replacement. Recovery was a breeze and I was back doing my usual activities way sooner than when I had my first surgery. I am very pleased with Dr. Arntson and his surgical skills!

I’ve dealt with cervical issues for most of my adult life. In late August/early September of 2022, the C6-C7 area of my cervical spine herniated, causing pain, paresthesia, and substantial weakness in my right arm. In particular, those muscles innervated by the nerves were compressed by the extrusion. My mother recommended TCO to me, having had tremendous success there with her double knee replacement.

Upon arrival, Dr. Ryan Hoel examined me thoroughly and ordered imaging. He was able to diagnose the issue very quickly. Considering there was substantial weakness in my right arm, there was a chance strength might not return if left untreated. Because I was young and physically active, Dr. Hoel suggested surgical repair by means of an artificial disc replacement. This type of surgery was a novel idea to me and I was initially apprehensive at the prospect. However, my anxieties were dispelled immediately by Dr. Hoel’s tremendous confidence in his abilities to perform the surgery, as well as its outcome. The surgery was performed in early November and it was masterfully done. The strength in my right arm is 90% restored, and continues to improve weekly. I no longer experience pain or numbness, and the scar at the front of my neck has faded and is hardly discernible. I highly recommend Dr. Hoel to anyone who has suffered a neck injury and is considering the prospect of surgical repair. He is a master of his craft and no one could have done better.
