Patient Testimonials

Dr. Nessler and his team are the best! He replaced my right hip in November 2024 and just did my left hip July 2026. The entire process is very smooth. The EXCEL program and cares sites at the Omni Hotel is a very pleasant experience from surgery to recovery. I always felt well cared for and comfortable. I can now get back to full range of motion in both my hips and become active again. Thank you to Dr. Nessler and his team.

Dr. Allan Hunt agreed to do my hip replacement on one condition – I had to send him a picture of me once I was back on my horse. It took us awhile to train for riding, but here we are. I am finally able to ride again! I will forever be grateful to to Dr. Hunt for giving me my dream back! He is an amazing surgeon and I have much love for his team and the staff at TCO. You all rock!

I looked into several surgeons prior to selecting Dr. Bircher and his team. Their experience confirmed what I already knew, their team does an excellent job. They were able to address any questions or concerns I had throughout the process. I would unequivocally recommend him to family and friends!

Dr. Samuel Carlson is so genuine. He is patient, willing to listen, and extremely good at all he did for me. I highly recommend choosing Dr. Carlson.

After a significant injury during basketball, I visited TCO Urgent Care. After an MRI, I learned I needed surgery pretty quickly. By luck of the draw, Dr. Butterfield was my surgeon. I had S/P right knee open medial retinacular repair, MPFL repair, and vastus medialis obliquus repair. The procedure and recovery have been nothing short of top notch! My recovery has been quicker than expected and I am able to get back to sports very soon. Besides the great experience with surgery, we were extremely satisfied with the fact that we saw Dr. Butterfield at all appointments. We have had experiences with many other surgeries where the providers were only seen at the initial appointment and day of surgery. This shows his care and dedication to each patient. I highly recommend Dr. Butterfield!

After having a bad experience with another doctor outside of TCO, I came to see Dr. Erik Peterson. He looked at my X-rays and immediately knew what was needed. He asked which knee I wanted to have surgery done on first. I had the first one done and it went great! Two months later, I did the other and it was also great! Dr. Peterson and his team were super professional, and they answered every question I had. Both surgeries went perfectly! I wish I would have went to Dr. Peterson when I started having knee trouble instead. I would highly recommend Dr. Erik Peterson to anyone having knee trouble!

What I liked most about my care was that Dr. Bircher prayed over me before my knee replacement surgery. It was very comforting and the procedure went great! I was able to get by on only Tylenol and the scar is very small. My foot doctor was impressed that my legs were still the same length. Thank you to Dr. Bircher and his team!

Update 9/10: I just wanted to say thank you again to Dr. Bircher and his team for the successful right knee replacement they performed on me back on March 4th, 2026. Yesterday, I went to the MN State Fair and walked 16,888 steps. I had no pain!

I recently had both my hips replaced by Dr. Bircher. He was wonderful! From the first visit through recovery, his team gave me confidence through all the phases of this journey. I never thought I would have this procedure done but I am very happy with the results. I no longer have shooting pain down my legs, and I am able to go back to teaching workout classes. Thank you to Dr. Bircher and his team!

In April 2026, I went to TCO Edina Urgent Care for my right hip pain. I saw Dr. Eric Bobel, who specializes in sports medicine. I had an X-ray taken, but it had shown very little. He ordered an MRI which indicated bone on bone deterioration. I was able to have my hip replacement scheduled six weeks later with Dr. Carlson. I cannot say enough about the care I received! Dr. Carlson, Dr. Bobel, the nurses at the EXCEL Care Suites, the follow-up care with Jacob Szalat, PA-C, has been phenomenal through and through.

Dr. Eggers is the sweetest and nicest physician I have seen. He sat down and truly listens to every word I had to say. He is very knowledgeable and explained things to me so I understood. He was prepared and reviewed my medical history beforehand so he could ask me if there has been any change in my condition. Thank you to Dr. Eggers for being so attentive toward me and my medical care.
