Patient Testimonials

I went to Dr. Lewis for pain in my left arm. After an exam and imaging, Dr. Lewis diagnosed a torn rotator cuff. Decided on surgery, where he discovered a complete tear. I was in a sling for 6 weeks, followed by 6 weeks of physical therapy, and I was back 100%, no pain, no limitations. I highly recommend Dr. Lewis!

Dr. Sanders fixed my broken arm in February and did a great job. He went above and beyond. He’s the best. Thank you!

Dr. Lewis was very professional. He got right to the point and addressed all my concerns.

Falling and fracturing a finger was traumatic for me but being able to be seen immediately was a relief. The surgery was a success, occupational therapy was a success, and the end result was what I expected. My experience from check in, to the nurse, x-ray tech, patient care coordinator and surgeon was wonderful! Much time was spent during my appointments and I never felt rushed. I recommend TCO and Dr. Mark Fischer. Thank you!

Dr. Steven Olmsted, the only name you need to know if you are considering carpal tunnel surgery. The diagnosis was correct and the results were terrific. Thank you to the entire staff at TCO Burnsville, especially Dr. Olmsted!

Stop reading and get the hip! 7 years ago, I was told hip replacement was in my future and being an athlete, I doubled down on workouts, shoe inserts, therapy and eventually cortisone and hyaluronic acid. At 49, the first shot of cortisone made me feel 30 again and the second did nothing. I had hip replaced by Dr. Horazdovsky on June 2nd and as I write this on June 15^th, I am sitting with only a minor itch from the scar and using over the counter meds for the last 13 days. My range of motion is already better than before! It was my left hip, so I was driving very soon after and back at gym! He directed me to the Dual Mobility hip and performed an anterior procedure which has me recovering faster. The hardest thing is not to overdo it, as I feel brand new! The EXCEL nurses were fabulous, as well as the whole TCO team. I used a walker for 3 days and cane for 3 days, and then when I am tired and to keep me walking straight! My whole workout class almost fainted after seeing me back for light upper body workout within a week after surgery!

Dr. Hartigan saw me for both knees and shoulder. He was impressive and had such a great way of communicating and putting me at ease. He helped me with an exercise program that brought my knees back to being able to hike and exercise again. He also ordered an injection for my shoulder that I haven’t had any further issue with. Thank you Dr. Hartigan for getting me back on my game!

Four years ago, I was experiencing some hip discomfort on my right side. I just assumed it was because of my active lifestyle and some muscle soreness. There were 2 people I worked with that both had hip replacements from Dr. Owen O’Neill, so they encouraged me to seek him out. Sure enough, there was some arthritis that was causing that discomfort. I endured it for 4 years because it was never that painful. However, it reached a “bone-on-bone” stage where it needed replacing. I was prepared for the worst in my mind, but the entire process was so smooth and worry free, that it was hard to believe I actually had a major surgical procedure. I was up on my feet and off the walker within 3-4 days. Swimming, walking and riding my bike within 3 weeks, and back to golfing at 8 weeks. I jokingly asked Dr. O’Neill if my golf game would improve after this procedure, and he said if it did, he would like to take credit for that as well and maybe start marketing his services in that manner. Let me say that my golf game is no better, but no worse, as I am back taking some much needed golf lessons. The entire staff at TCO has been absolutely top notch all around!

Dr. Stephen Olmsted is thorough, knowledgeable, very kind and compassionate. He focuses on you as a patient and is extremely professional. He is a very skillful surgeon and I had an excellent experience with him recently. His staff is so very supportive and friendly, and along with Dr. Olmsted, they make a great team. I highly recommend Dr. Olmsted!

At the beginning, all children are scared of their parents having surgery and then we met Dr. Crowe. He put all our fears behind us and took amazing care of my mother. My mother is very happy with the treatment she got. Dr. Crowe was on top of things, always had her best interest in mind, and I never felt that she was at risk. I’m grateful for Dr. Crowe, the knowledge he has and the professionalism he displayed. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!  5 out of 5!
