Dr. James Bircher performed robotic total knee replacement surgery for me on 4/17/25. The whole experience has been positive. I feel it is rare to find a surgeon who is so incredibly skilled but also very kind and caring. Dr. Bircher and his team are first rate, and I feel fortunate to have gone through this journey with them. I will be having my other knee done by him at the end of the year!

I had a total knee replacement done by Dr. Hunt on 4/7/25 and was a part of the EXCEL program. I cannot emphasize enough how phenomenal the EXCEL program is. There was a 25-30% reduction in the overall cost compared to the traditional billing process for a knee replacement. Having 24-hour care from nurses and physical therapists while at the recovery/care center was a perfect transition before going home. I had a private room and was treated like a celebrity by the care attendants and physical therapists. Programs like this should be the norm, both from a cost savings standpoint as well initial aftercare following knee replacement.

Dr. Andrew Ockuly is one of the most professional and genuinely caring doctors I’ve seen. From the moment I walked in with low back and hip issues, he took the time to listen, ask the right questions, and act quickly. He made sure to check on previous concerns, explained everything clearly, and never made me feel rushed. His attention to detail and thoughtful approach gave me confidence that I was in good hands. It’s rare to find a doctor who combines expertise with such a compassionate bedside manner. I truly felt heard and cared for. I highly recommend Dr. Andrew Ockuly for anyone looking for a physician who puts their patients first.

I met Dr. Johnson at the Fairview Southdale emergency room one evening after I slipped on our carpeted stairs which resulted in a bad break to my right femur. Dr. Johnson and his team took great care of me during my stay at the hospital, and I received a very successful surgery on my leg. My pain level during my recovery was very tolerable, and his follow-up was excellent.

Fast forward about a year or so, my left knee had experienced an insufficiency fracture needing a total knee replacement. It was not a question as to who I wanted to do the surgery. Turns out that Dr. Johnson is an excellent knee replacement surgeon as well. Him and his team were genuinely interested in my care through every phase of my time with them. I just “graduated” from my one-year follow-up a few weeks ago and have no complaints. I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Jeremiah Johnson for any of your special orthopedic surgical needs. Thank you!

Highly recommend Dr. Leafblad and the TCO staff. I had my shoulder replaced in February 2025 and now I am done with physical therapy. They are great with all they do. I couldn’t be more satisfied.

I suffer from Spondylolisthesis. I tried everything for two years: physical therapy, chiropractic care, strength training, Pilates, and steroid injections. I pretty much took two ibuprofen multiple times a day for two years until the pain got to be too much. Dr. Deal and Nathan walked me through my options and gave me all the time I needed to ask my questions. Six months ago, I had a L4-L5 spinal fusion. Even though there was stiffness following my surgery, the pain was gone immediately. I was up walking around slowly on day 1.

Within two weeks I was outside taking walks. Every day brought new joy, like getting out of bed and being able to stand straight while walking. Now, I do not need to rely on pain medication every day. I can bend and walk without pain in my back, glutes, or down my legs. I only wish I would have done this sooner. Dr. Deal has been kind and patient. Whenever I had questions, he explained things in a way that was easy to understand.

Dr. Frattalone and Heather are patient and kind. They made me feel comfortable and really listened to my problems. When I called, I quickly got a response back. They are wonderful to work with.

Dr. Bircher performed a robotic total knee replacement on March 3, 2025. I would characterize Dr. Bircher as a consummate professional and skilled surgeon. The EXCEL program is fantastic and made the experience less daunting. From the initial meeting with Dr. Bircher to the final follow up appointment, Dr. Bircher was honest, articulated realistic expectations, and treated me with compassion. I would highly recommend TCO, the EXCEL program, and Dr. Bircher. The total knee replacement has allowed me to regain my ability to function without pain in my day-to-day life.

Dr. Nishant Dwivedi did such a great job explaining my situation for severe carpal tunnel, which I had thought was from my previous knee surgery. I am really pleased with him and my hand therapist. I followed his recommendations, and I now have equal strength in both hands. He is a very good listener. Overall, it was a really good experience.

I had a very good experience overall. After having surgery for trigger finger, my symptoms have completely gone away. Dr. Nishant Dwivedi is a great listener. I would highly recommend him!
