Patient Testimonials

Dr. Hoel‘s diagnosis for a bulging disc, causing leg pain in both of my legs, was spot on. He recommended a minimally invasive surgery (decompression) of L4/L5. The surgery was great and my leg pain was completely gone in 2 weeks! He is the only surgeon in my 65 years that ever personally called me the day after to see how I was doing. I would highly recommend Dr. Hoel to anyone with back issues. He is great!

I am sending extreme gratitude for the Dr. Adam Michalik’s team, who performed my procedure. The difference in my ability to move without pain after so many years has been profound. Thank you really does not do it.

The anterior hip surgery with Dr. Arntson was so great! I couldn’t believe how fast I was able to walk with a cane (1.5 weeks then went to cane). After 5 weeks I’m doing everything on my own. Can’t say enough goo things about his care and concern. Would recommend him highly!

On December 10, 2021, I fell off my work truck and severed my quad tendons in my right leg. I went to TCO Urgent Care in Blaine, where they told me more about my injury. I really just thought that I bruised my leg, but didn’t think it would be anything worse than that. I met with Dr. Ridley and planned out my surgery and recovery. My surgery was on December 20th. Two weeks later, I started therapy at the TCO Blaine clinic. I primarily saw Abby and Tina. They are both so great to work with. I was having trouble with my range of motion and they came up with a great plan to get my leg moving, and worked with me to get the results I needed. They were both so professional and so friendly.

This has been a heck of a long trip. I never had surgery before and this was a hard for me to accept. I drive for a living, and to be told I would be out of work for 5 months and couldn’t drive for 3 months, was not something I wanted to hear. Dr. Ridley was so fantastic to work with and very encouraging. I got my release to work after 4 months. I still have a lot of strengthening to do, but I am now back at work and feeling good about that. I can’t say enough about how TCO helped me out from beginning to end. I would highly recommend them to anyone who would need their services.

Dr. Comfort did an excellent job navigating the right course of action, involving a very difficult diagnosis of my back/hip issue. He determined a hip replacement was not the right course of action, which likely saved me a lot of pain and recovery time on what could have been an unnecessary operation.

Dr. Seybold and his PA, Erik, were amazing to work with after I was injured. I received achilles repair surgery in November of 2021, and in April 2022 I made light work of climbing Diamond Head in Hawaii twice in 3 days!

I highly recommend Dr. Arntson for total hip replacement. He replaced my terrible right hip and it has been an amazing experience. I have my flexibility coming back and I am enjoying walking and being out and about again. He has a very professional team and they have taken really great care of me. Thanks again for everything.

I had the opportunity to become a patient of Dr. Brenner for a stress fracture in my lower back. He has excellent bedside manner and is thorough with his examination, thus giving quality care.

From our initial meeting with Dr. Arntson, through surgery and recovery, everyone was professional, courteous, and patient explaining the entire process. Dr. Arntson is very caring and thorough. I highly recommend TCO.

The improvement was felt very quickly. Soon after my knee surgery with Dr. Dieterle I could walk without pain. It was the first I could walk without pain in years!
