Patient Testimonials

I have had phenomenal experiences with TCO, and my last surgery was no different. I had to go up to the Wyoming clinic last minute due to some pain. Dr. Karlstad’s PA, Cole Smith, called me personally and fit me in. The front desk receptionist even went above and beyond making me coffee the morning of my appointment. I wish I knew her name since she was amazing! Lisa and Rachel from Dr. Karlstad’s team were also phenomenal. Honestly, without them taking my calls, helping me handle paperwork for the surgery, and comforting my nerves, I would have been a total wreck! Dr. Karlstad has now done two hand surgeries for me and both were successful! I highly recommend Dr. Karlstad and his amazing team!

Alyssa Johnson has been taking care of my hamstring injury this summer. In addition to being a professional physical therapist, she is very caring. She encourages me to reach my goals and is honest about my responsibilities so I can heal in the best possible way. Alyssa makes the sessions productive by continuing to challenge me so I can reach my next goal towards a complete recovery. She never makes me feel bad, even if I digress a little. Her smile and positive attitude really help her patients improve. Thank you, TCO, for competent and caring physical therapists like Alyssa.

My hip replacement went better than I could ever have imagined. Recovery went smoothly with little to no pain after the first week. Dr. Arntson and his team were outstanding. Brianne, his PA, was kind, and responsive to questions and needs. I knew what to expect along the way. I recommend Dr. Arntson and his team!

Dr. Omar sat down with me and listened to all my concerns. He offered multiple treatment options that were available for me. He is very personable, and patient focused.

Dr. Davis saved me from a lifetime of pain and has given me my life back. I was unable to stand, walk, or even lay in bed without being at a level 10 pain all the time. My first surgery was a C5, C6, and C7 total disc replacement. After the surgery, I regained the use of my hands. I was immediately sold on Dr. Davis and his entire team. Every one of them is an expert in their field.

I had three more surgeries replacing discs and adding some screws, cages, rods, and a spinal stimulator. Now, I can make it through my week without the use of opioids. After years of pain medication, endless steroid injections, and many muscle relaxers to manage my pain, I can now enjoy spending time with my grandkids. I owe it all to Dr. Davis and his team! God bless them and their work.

Dr. Sufka is by far the most outstanding professional I have met. I have had him as my physician since 2014. He listens to his patients and is genuinely invested in making a difference in their lives. If he doesn’t have the answer, he searches for it. If there is an expert that he knows that can help, he ensures that you have all the knowledge he can possibly provide. I owe a lot to Dr. Sufka! He is a 10/10 in Rheumatology care!

Dr. Bircher did my knee replacement in April 2025. He explained the whole procedure and answered any questions I had. He is very professional and very personal. I would recommend him and his staff to anyone. He will be doing my other knee replacement this fall. Having my first knee done, has changed my life.

Truly the best care, treatment, and attention I have ever received from any specialty or physician. Dr. Nolan really cares about people and is very thorough. His Care Coordinator, Blane, is awesome as well. I feel like I am in the right place with them as my care team. I drive far and it is worth it.

Amazing results! Typically, you can expect recovery to take three to five months for the procedure I received. I was walking without assistance the same day as my surgery. I had zero pain during recovery. I was mowing my yard and back in the gym four days after surgery with full leg workouts two weeks after surgery. 124-degree bend radius at only five weeks. I could not ask for a better experience. Far exceeded expectations!

Dr. Bircher did a wonderful job helping me understand the surgery and the time it takes to heal. He told me how important it was to keep up with physical therapy post-surgery.
