Patient Testimonials

I cannot thank Dr. Deal enough for the procedure he performed on me. I went to see him with sciatica pain down my left leg and into my foot. When I came to in the surgery center, the pain was gone. It felt like a miracle! I loved the staff at the surgery center as well. TCO is great!

The road to pain-free life started after my hip surgery. I can do the simple things in life again like walking, getting into a car, and getting dressed. Dr. Arntson and his team were excellent before, and after the procedure.

For over two years, the pain in my right knee grew to where it limited a lot of my activities. It was especially painful walking and going up and down the stairs. Dr. Lewis and his PA, Libby, helped decrease the pain with steroid injections. When that no longer helped, we decided I needed a knee replacement. At the end of January, I went to TCO Chaska. In every step of the process I was treated with respect and kindness. Everything that was going to happen was thoroughly explained. I was confident in my surgeon and his team. I trusted them completely. Surgery was a complete success. I was up walking and had physical therapy the day of surgery.

I’m walking around the lakes with my friends and enjoying every step. My knee feels stronger than it has in years. The best part is there’s no pain. Thank you, Dr. Lewis and Libby, for giving me my active pain free life back. I highly recommend Dr. Lewis. Life is so much more enjoyable when you aren’t in pain.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Sam Carlson for my hip replacement. Dr. Carlson used the anterior approach, which allowed me to be up and moving without a cane after one week. The whole team was competent, and professional throughout. I was pleased by how responsive Dr. Carlson and his team were to answer questions and address any of my needs during the process.

I feel very fortunate to have found Dr. Bircher to do my right hip replacement. We started with a very careful analysis of my problem and a discussion of options before jumping to solutions. Once we decided on a hip replacement, the entire process was handled very professional and efficiently. If I ever have to do my other hip, Dr. Bircher is my choice for this kind of care. I strongly recommend him.

Dr. Gilbertson and his team are incredibly knowledgeable. They took the time to answer all of my questions. I did not feel rushed and the team was very welcoming. I would highly recommend Dr. Gilbertson and his team. His assistant, Amy, was so helpful. She returned my calls in a timely matter and was very personable.

Dr. Dwivedi is a remarkable person! Beginning with our first meeting for my carpal tunnel surgery, surgical procedure, and subsequent check-ups, Dr. Dwivedi was very personable and compassionate, and always had my well-being and recovery in mind. He clearly explained the surgery, and always asked if I had any questions or concerns. He is one of kind and without hesitation I would recommend Dr. Dwivedi for your hand surgery.

Under Dr. Peterson’s care I received a total knee replacement in September of 2023.  Post-surgery I was able to go on an adventure trip to New Zealand — 24 days of travel, over 80 miles hiked with significant elevation changes. I also biked, swam in the ocean, and kayaked twice.  I experienced absolutely no trouble with my knee and needed no ice or pain relievers!  Thank you to Dr. Peterson for his care which enabled this trip of a lifetime to happen!

I had my hip replacement surgery one year ago. It took some time to heal but now it is the best feeling part of my body. Thanks Dr. Meisterling!

I’ve had Rheumatoid Arthritis for approximately 25 years. I have been a patient of Dr. Kneeland at TCO and her prior practice for approximately two years. Dr. Kneeland is one of the most caring, sincere, and compassionate medical professionals I have ever met. Equally important, she is also a great listener! I am very grateful for Dr. Kneeland’s care! Moreover, I was also a patient of Dr. Sufka’s for six years, who is also a fine doctor and person. Lastly, my family and I have been patients of Dr. Larson, Dr. Wulf and Dr. Harris who have been there for my family in times of need. All of them are fabulous Doctors! TCO is the Kellogg family go-to practice.
