Patient Testimonials

I had a total left knee replacement 12 weeks ago. Dr. James Bircher is number one, I highly recommend!
The TCO EXCEL program, along with the great team of doctors, nurses and physical therapy staff are all just incredible. I am doing great!

All I can say is this surgery has been a life changer for me. I have been living with chronic nerve pain since 2019. I decided to get a second opinion after many nerve root injections that helped a little, but not completely. On several different occasions I could not walk. Having this surgery is the best decision I have made. I am now back to walking 2.5-miles without pain with the goal of walking a 5-mile loop soon. I am also biking 15 miles with the goal of biking 20 miles in a couple of weeks. Last year this was not possible. I feel like I have been given my life back. And the best thing – No pain. Thank you!!

I enjoyed working with Dr. Mair for several reasons. He’s not the least bit pretentious or condescending. He explained my injury and how it could be repaired clearly and concisely. He laid out probable recovery benchmarks and expectations, so I knew what to anticipate along the way. Due to his skill and encouragement regarding my physical therapy, my outcome has exceeded expectations across the board. I couldn’t be more satisfied with my decision to trust Dr. Mair. It’s great to be pain free so soon after surgery.

I have suffered from tailbone pain since December of 2023. Sarah at the Plymouth location used the dry needling technique, and I immediately felt improvement and am hopeful I will be able to finally start living tailbone pain free!

I had a great experience with Dr. Nessler and his staff. He is very patient and thorough with assessments and what my expectation should be. I’m only two weeks out from surgery, but I immediately noticed my hip felt better than it has since my hip replacement surgery from another doctor. I’m very impressed with Dr. Nessler and TCO!

My hip replacement experience was nothing but exceptional. Dr. Ridley and his team were upfront, honest, and helpful from the start. I had special needs which included the need to lose a significant amount of weight to have the surgery. They told me from the start what that would be, gave me specific goals and a timeline, and worked with me to find an interim method to manage the pain. Most of all, they treated me with respect. I am incredibly thankful for that. The time in the EXCEL surgery center itself was very comfortable. The process was smooth, the surgery uneventful, and everyone I encountered was extremely friendly and helpful. I would 100% recommend Dr. Ridley, his team, and the EXCEL program.

Dr. James Bircher did a great job with my surgery. I also appreciate the time he took to answer my questions. He was very relaxed and gave me as much time as I needed.

I came to Dr. O’Neill afraid and unsure, but he (and his team) put me at ease. He is a credit to his profession, and I would recommend him to anyone. I am blessed to have found him and his team.

I am so grateful for Dr. Bircher and the very successful total hip replacement surgery he performed. He did the anterior approach which was an amazing surgery and recovery compared to the very painful, difficult lateral/posterior surgery I had done 2 years ago with a different surgeon. I’m totally back to doing all the things I love like babysitting grandchildren, walking on the beach, singing in the choir, gardening, and much more. Thank you for giving me my life back!!!

I love Dr. Miller and his care coordinator, Wendi! Dr. Miller is so nice and thorough, making every visit a very pleasant experience. He’s very caring, kind and good listener. Same for Wendi. She is the BEST at drawing blood! She never leaves a mark or bruise on my arm. That’s a special skill to have and is very much appreciated, especially when you don’t have the best veins to choose from! I HIGHLY recommend them for any kind of treatment you may need. I’m so glad they are my team.
