Patient Testimonials

I am so happy with the hip replacements I received by Dr. Owen O’Neill and his team. I can’t say enough good things about him and his whole team. I had my left hip done in August 2025 and my right hip done in April 2026. This minimally invasive Anterior approach was great. Dr. O’Neill has done over 4,000 of them so I felt at ease as I was preparing for the first surgery .

From the first phone call with Ann, his care coordinator, to the first visit with Dr. O’Neill then into surgery, I give them all an A+. The surgery itself was seamless and I loved the facility. I received my total hip replacements at the Orthopedic Institute at Two Twelve medical Center in Chaska. The anesthesia team and nurses were all excellent and super personable. I am a person who would much rather do physical therapy than have surgery as surgery makes me a little fearful. However, Dr. O’Neill is a pro, and the recovery was quite easy! I had pain for a few days afterwords but was fine with help from the pain meds.  After four to five days, I was only using acetaminophen and a stronger form of ibuprofen. I would encourage anyone who is thinking of having a hip replacement to look no further that Dr. Owen O’Neill.

Before I had my hips replaced, I was in pain whenever I would move – walking, getting in and out of the car, and any form of exercise. I also am a dancer by profession, and my hip pain made ballet very difficult as it was always painful. I can now walk without pain. I am almost eight weeks into recovery, and I will start to dance again very soon.

I need to also mention the excellence of Dr. O’Neill’s PA, Lauren Lisowski. She was great! Whenever I would call his team with a question after my surgery, Lauren would call back in such a timely way. She always respected my questions and would put my mind at ease. I tend to ask a lot of questions, and it was very helpful to have this service that Dr. O’Neill’s team provides.

Dr. Bircher is very nice and takes the time to listen. He did a great job on both my hip and knee replacements. I would recommend him to everyone.

I had a robotic total right knee replacement on May 7th, 2026, with Dr. Bircher. Pre-op and post-op care was a very positive experience. I couldn’t be happier with TCO, Dr. Bircher, and his entire team. They always listened and were professional. They were thorough and explained processes to me every step of the way. I really appreciated the prayers from their team!

Thank you so very much Dr. Banks for the wonderful back surgery results. When I saw Dr. Banks for my initial visit, my sciatica pain was ranging between an eight to ten. Dr. Banks and his team got me in for surgery (discectomy and laminectomy) within a few days. Now, two weeks after surgery, my pain is nearly gone! I highly recommend Dr. Banks and thank him for helping me so quickly.

I am only five weeks post-surgery and my hip is beginning to feel like it’s mine again. Each day my gait is feeling stronger, more balanced, and back to normal. I can’t thank Dr. Busse and his team enough for the opportunity to return to active and, what I know will be, pain-free walking. From the moment I met him, I could feel Dr. Busse’s compassion, understanding, and confidence during my appointment. Ashley, his PA, and Emily, his Care Coordinator, have been so supportive and professional. I trust and recommend Dr. Busse and his team completely. I am 73 years old and have no plans to slow down. Today, I believe that to be possible.

I chose TCO because of its strong reputation, and my experience with Physical Therapist Carly Mattson, Athletic Trainer Robert Zelesnikar, and Athletic Trainer Eric Linnell exceeded my expectations. From the beginning, they were invested in my recovery and genuinely cared about helping me return to Division I hockey at 100%. They were friendly, kind, and professional, and I always felt supported throughout the process. They took the time to ask how I was doing both physically and mentally, and our conversations often went beyond my injury and recovery. They made me feel seen as a person, not just a patient.

After suffering a significant concussion, my recovery took longer than expected, but I never felt like they were holding me back unnecessarily. My rehabilitation was tailored specifically to my role as a hockey goalie, incorporating challenging eye-tracking exercises, high-stimulation drills, and full-body movements that mimicked game situations. They always made sure I was comfortable, explained exercises clearly, and answered every question I had. Thanks to their care, I was able to return to hockey with confidence, and I still use the vision exercises they taught me to continue improving my performance on the ice.

Dr. Deal’s entire team is awesome! They have great communication and are very professional in every aspect from start to finish. I highly recommend Dr. Deal and his team!

I had left thumb surgery with Dr. Dwivedi and things are going very well. I have been doing my hand therapy exercises which has helped with my recovery. The whole experience was very positive. Dr. Dwivedi and his staff were so professional from start to finish. They are top notch! I would absolutely recommend Dr. Dwivedi and his team. In fact, I already have recommended them to many people. They are the best!

I had thumb surgery with Dr. Dwivedi and I am very happy with how well everything went. I am still a tiny bit swollen, but it is getting better each day and I have no pain. I chose the local anesthesia, and it was nice to be awake and know what was going on. Dr. Dwivedi did a great job, and I would definitely recommend him!

I had right thumb surgery with Dr. Dwivedi and my healing is going great. Dr. Dwivedi exceeded my expectations. I was very well informed the whole way through. I would absolutely recommend him to others!
