Patient Testimonials

Dr. Vargas recently did a bunion/hammertoe surgery on both of my feet. The outcome of this surgery is even better than what I had hoped for. Dr. Vargas is a very compassionate and caring surgeon. He listens to his patients and provides them with the best care possible. This surgery is allowing me to resume the active lifestyle that I want and I am pain free. I highly recommend Dr. Vargas and his staff.

My daughter Emily sustained an injury during basketball. We called TCO to get an appointment, and were able to be seen almost immediately. We first met with Fred, who genuinely showed compassion to Emily, and made her feel comfortable. He took the time to discuss the process which was about to take place to evaluate, and eventually treat the injury. We then met with Dr. Cole. He talked to Emily in a way which made her understand what was taking place, and kept her at ease. It was determined that Emily did have a fracture, and the TCO team went into action creating a plan. The care coordination was extraordinary. We met on regular intervals with Dr. Cole and his care team. Fred often followed up, in between visits, to understand our progress. I called Fred with questions, and received timely responses. The overall experience was fantastic. I know where will be will coming, should an event like this take place in the future.

I went to Twin Cities Orthopedics for a second opinion and found Dr. Crowe. He had fixed a compound fracture of my ankle in 2000, and did a wonderful job. I was so happy to find him again and he did a wonderful job on my back. I am pain free and so grateful to Dr. Crowe. If you want a great surgeon who knows his stuff…..Call him!! You will not be disappointed.

After living with an unbelievable painful, arthritic ankle for over 4 years, I had an ankle replacement with Dr. Scott McGarvey in August of 2018. At 75 years old, I now feel like a new person. I’m finally able to do all the things I used to take for granted, but have not been able to do for years! I realized as I climbed up the deer stand this fall, how much I had missed doing the things I liked by being in such constant pain. I’m taking walks, looking forward to getting back to golf, and ready to enjoy life again. I cannot thank Dr. McGarvey and his efficient staff enough for giving me back mobility.

I highly recommend Dr. Seybold. He has completed Achilles tendon debridement & bone spur removal on both of my ankles, the right in 2015 & the left in August 2018. Both resulted in pain elimination & were complete successes. The latest recovery was even a little quicker than the first one due to changes in the rehab protocols. His team at TCO Eagan is caring, responsive & extremely competent! Thank you Dr. Seybold!

TO ANYONE NEEDING ANKLE/FOOT SURGERY: This place was phenomenal! Seriously the greatest medical facility and staff I’ve ever been to! I’ve had 5 different surgeries of varying types from various surgeons and staff over the years, from ankle to hernia surgeries. This is my very first surgery with Dr. Bryan Den Hartog. He is beyond amazing as are ALL the staff I encountered. I didn’t know this level of care and professionalism existed. I’m overwhelmingly grateful to have gone to TCO Eagan. 5 stars all day long!

Dr. McGarvey – A year ago you fused my big right toe. I wanted to let you know that it has healed really well. 99% of the time I forget I had surgery! I can wear all my old shoes and haven’t had any pain. Thank you to you and your staff for the care I received and making my foot pain-free!

Dr. McGarvey – Thank you for your kindness and care during the time of my foot surgery. You were so patient with me. So glad to have met you and I now walk with no pain in the right foot. You are a wonderful doctor.

Dr. McGarvey – Thanks so much for fixing my feet! Walking the Masters course last Tuesday was a breeze…and now I’m ready for Africa! Please also thank Rhodora for her calm and excellent service.

You have been very kind, considerate, and patient with me for so many years; thank you! Thank you also for so artfully and beautifully repairing my foot. It feels better every day, and I have started doing my yoga and Pilates and it’s handling the activity very well! Hurray! Dr. McGarvey, you have been a blessing in my life and I am so grateful for you, Rhodora, and Laura. Please remain well!
