Patient Testimonials

Dr. Chris Meyer did a great job and my follow up during recovery was good. I had no problems during my time with him.

I am a service electrician who wasted a lot of time going to the chiropractor and working in pain for the last year. It turned out to be a cyst in between the L4-L5 Left. I had it removed by Dr. Deal in September. By the time the anesthesia wore off, I knew the problem had been solved. Now a month into recovery, I can do most things again, and each week it gets better.

From start to finish, everyone at TCO was fantastic. There were able to answer every question I had. Dr. Marcus Mittelsteadt was friendly and professional. I highly recommend him to anyone. My ankle already feels much better and there is still more healing to go! Everyone from the front desk folks, schedulers, care coordinators, nurses, and PT team were very knowledgeable, helpful, and kind!

I had a great experience! I would recommend anyone to Dr. Schmiesing!

Dr. Hunt performed a partial shoulder replacement on me two months ago. While I am still recovering, I am delighted to share that I have more functionality with my arms than I ever have before. The entire process at TCO has been enjoyable, and I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Hunt and his team to others. Dr. Hunt has been a pleasure to work with, and I felt confident with his recommendations when we first started this process.

I’ve been a patient of TCO for many years. I’ve broken my femur three times, had a hip replacement, stress fractures, and a broken foot. Not great bones.

Through it all, I’ve always felt like I was in great hands at TCO. During my recent MRI, the power went out. It was frightening, but the staff handled it the best they could. I spoke with Matt afterward, and he is an absolute gift to the TCO family.

When I came back two weeks later, I was really nervous. Matt Grey happened to be working that day, and he took care of me. I don’t think I’ve ever met someone more kind, gentle, and reassuring. He got me through the MRI with ease, and I’m so grateful.

I’ve guided Dr. Vorlicky for nearly 15 years. We’ve shared a lot of great hunts together, but this one took an unexpected turn. While unloading gear after a long ride into the mountains, I felt a sharp pain shoot through my lower back, pain that only got worse as the night went on. I couldn’t sleep, and before long, I couldn’t move either. Miles from anywhere, Dr. Vorlicky went from hunter to physician in an instant.

With a satellite connection, he arranged for medication to be flown in by plane. I’ve never been a big fan of Starlink in the wilderness, but this time, it saved me. When things still weren’t improving, Dr. Vorlicky made a call I’ll never forget. He packed up camp, loaded me into his truck, and drove 24 hours straight back to Minnesota to get me care.

Along the way, he made a few phone calls. By the next day, I was in for an MRI and a same-day injection with Dr. Aaron Bloom at TCO. From start to finish, every person I met made me feel like I was in the right place. The care was seamless, fast, and professional.

I’d never been to Minnesota before, but I have friends from there and always heard about ‘Minnesota Nice.’ I can now confirm it’s a real thing. Everyone I met was kind, helpful, and genuine. Dr. Vorlicky still managed to get his elk while I was laid up, but we’re both looking forward to a do-over where I can stay on my feet.

Two years ago, Dr. Cammack and his team replaced my right ankle. Prior to the replacement, I had chronic arthritis, pain, and flexibility issues. Now, I can participate in physical sporting activities that I have not been able to partake in for years. I can now alpine ski, play pickleball, and hike without pain. I have no regrets about my new ankle and I recommend Dr. Cammack to everyone I know that needs ankle care or a replacement.

I would recommend Dr. Bircher to anyone needing a knee replacement. My experience was an A+ on every level. Dr. Bircher and his team took the time to answer my many questions, and they helped make the surgery process much easier than I expected. The day of my surgery, Dr. Bircher asked if I would like to pray with him. It was very meaningful to me, and it helped give me peace before entering the surgery room. I am very grateful for my new knee. The progress I have made in recovery is exactly how Dr. Bircher and his team explained it would be. I am very grateful to finally be pain free. Thank you to Dr. Bircher and his entire team.

After decades of knee pain, I was finally in the position to address both knees replacement. I was so happy to find Dr. Schmiesing and make the personal connection which put me in the mindset to move forward. Thanks to Dr. Schmiesing and his staff, I am back to doing the things I enjoy without my knees buckling or having to endure pain and discomfort.
