Patient Testimonials

I’m 44 years old and recently had my knee replaced. I’m 6 weeks post-operation and it hasn’t felt this good since my 20’s. I met my range of motion goals at 3 weeks and no longer required physical therapy after 4 weeks. I’m back to lifting weights and cardio exercise and it feels great! I’m looking forward to back country hiking again. My only regret is waiting to have it done. Thanks to Dr. Saterbak and her team I’m back to enjoying the outdoors and am pain free.

Dr. Mark Fischer is an amazing physician and I’m eternally grateful for his care. My left wrist was injured several decades ago while training in Coronado, California to become a U.S. Navy SEAL. When I reached my early 50’s my injury had caught up with me. At age 63 and after excellent treatment and care over the last decade, I’ve been able to avoid surgery and can use my hand properly which allows me to fully engage in my career with minimal problems. Dr. Fischer is amazing and is always so generous with his time and expertise. I’m extremely thankful for the care and compassion he provides me every time I see him. Thank you, Dr. Fischer for being the great person you are and for the care you provide your patients.

I would like to say my visit to the TCO clinic in Blaine was very pleasant. They took the time to listen to my concerns and treat me for them. The assistant was so nice, as well as the front desk staff. I was in and out in one hour. I would definitely go back if I needed to.

Dr. Ridley repaired my rotator cuff, so when my son had a sports injury a couple years later, we decided to see Dr. Ridley again. He explained everything thoroughly, was personable and able to speak specifically to getting back to sports following the surgery. My son had surgery on a Thursday, which went very smoothly. He experienced minimal pain and was back to school on Monday. His physical therapy and recovery are going great 5-6 weeks later, which we are very thankful for! Everyone on Dr. Ridley’s team, from the nurses to his physical therapist, are friendly and did an outstanding job.

Our family has seen Dr. Eggert for more than one broken bone as we have 4 very active children. Our daughter broke her leg skiing in 2022, and her wrist later that year, and our son recently broke his wrist skateboarding. The most recent injury led us to the new TCO Urgent Care in Excelsior. I cannot express my amazement on how quickly they were able to see my son, x-ray his wrist, and promptly get him in a splint. It was the most efficient urgent care experience of my life, in addition to being well cared for. We followed up with Dr. Eggert to get casted the following week and he was knowledgeable, patient, and pragmatic — everything you want in an orthopedic physician. We can’t recommend him enough along with all the TCO facilities.

This past March I won the High School Olympic Weightlifting State Championship for the 67kg weight class. I had a final snatch of 68 kg and clean jerk of 91kg. I was able to come out on top with all of my hard work. I had only been cleared for sports four months prior, so this is a real testament to what you can do when you put your mind to it. I also dove back into ultimate frisbee and have easily become a vital player on the field with my speed and agility. I’d like to thank Dr. Johnson for giving me the opportunity to make these great things happen after my knee surgeries.

I was recommended to Dr. O’Neill when it was determined I needed a hip replacement, and I am forever grateful for that recommendation. Dr. O’Neill performed anterior hip replacement surgery and answered all of my questions. The care Dr. O’Neill and his team provide is wonderful. In less than two weeks I could handle any discomfort with just Tylenol and Ibuprofen. It has now been ten weeks since surgery and I can go about all my normal activities, including golf and extended walks. Walking is very important to me, and I was unable to go more than a few blocks prior to surgery. Now I’m doing five miles with no trouble. I highly recommend Dr. O’Neill; he is a top-rated surgeon.

Dr. Meisterling and his team were outstanding for my hip replacement procedure and my postoperative care! I have no pain, and the rehab went extremely well. If anyone is thinking of having this procedure done, I highly recommend Dr. Meisterling and his team! My family and I would like to thank them for giving me a huge part of my life back! The ability to spend time with my family and friends outdoors and not be in any discomfort is priceless!

I received anterior hip replacement surgery from Dr. Arntson. After the surgery, all my previous pain was gone, and there was no new pain. I am one happy patient.

I had a very large cyst in my wrist and into the palm of my hand. Dr. Meletiou removed the cyst and performed carpal tunnel surgery. The results were amazing, and the care was very good. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thanks for the great job.
