Patient Testimonials

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.

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.

At 43 years old, I was very nervous about having a knee replacement since it seems like a young age for that surgery. I was looking through Dr. Crowe’s reviews and found that he specializes in hip and knee care. What a team he has. I highly recommend him and have nothing but positive things to say about my experience, from the day of surgery, all the way through physical therapy. I am very pleased with my new knee, thanks Dr. Crowe!

Dr. Gerlach replaced a joint in my right thumb approximately 7 years ago. I also had a left thumb replacement, performed by a different doctor. WHAT A DIFFERENCE! I had minimal pain after two weeks with Dr. Gerlach and recovery was a breeze. With my left thumb surgery from a different doctor, I was still in pain after two months with a very difficult recovery. Dr. Gerlach is a highly skilled surgeon with great bed side manner.

I suffered a traumatic achilles rupture. I was extremely fortunate to get on Dr. Coetzee’s surgery schedule on short notice. I couldn’t be happier with the care I received from everyone at TCO. The care coordinator, nursing staff, anesthesiologist, physician assistant and surgeon were the BEST! Thank you, from a retired nurse anesthetist.

Last fall my back was very painful and my ability to walk or stand was limited. I tried injections and various medicines, which had little effect. The condition worsened quickly and I was only able to walk or stand for short periods of time. Then I was referred to Dr. Wanderman. He diagnosed the problem and told me he could fix it, and he did. He performed spinal fusion surgery, which went well. I went home the day after surgery and had immediate relief. I regained my mobility and recovery went very well. I appreciate the care and attention I received from Dr. Wanderman and his staff, before, during, and after the surgery. They responded quickly to any questions that I had. Through the whole process, I felt that I was well taken care of. Thank you, Dr. Wanderman.
