Patient Testimonials

I am so grateful for Dr. Hunt! I had a knee replacement with another doctor in July 2020 and knew something was wrong, because I was in so much pain. When I would turn or move certain ways, I felt things move or it felt strange in my knee. I was told everything was fine so for two years, so I thought I was either right or crazy. Then in November 2022, I was in a bad car accident and needed MRI’s of both knees. The results were read by a different doctor who told me there was loose hardware in my right knee. At that point, I saw this accident as a blessing in disguise.

I immediately transferred my care to TCO after getting a referral from my boss’s family, who recommended Dr. Hunt. The first time I met with him, he acknowledged everything I had gone through and promised me that he would fix my pain. I lost faith in the health care system until that moment, and for the first time in a long time I felt safe. I trusted Dr. Hunt. I had my surgery in April 2023. It went amazing and recovery, along with in home therapy went great. Dr. Hunt and his team (and everyone at TCO) are so wonderful, supportive and professional. I could go on and on about how lucky I am to have found him. I am in good shape and back to work. Thank you so much for helping me. I 100% recommend Dr. Hunt and TCO.

Last year I had a hip replacement with Dr. Chris Meyer and it was one of the best things I ever did. To add to that, my left knee had actually been bothering me for longer than my hip. Because I had such a great experience with Dr. Meyer, his staff, the staff at Two Twelve Surgery Center and the EXCEL Program, I decided to bite the bullet and have my left knee replaced.

One of my passions is golf, so I needed to time the surgery and recovery to take place before summer and a spring break golf trip. I had the surgery on January 18, which went really well. I followed the doctor’s orders to a “T” and by the time our Spring Break trip rolled around, I was ready to hit the links! As a matter of fact, I golfed 144 holes in one week and got my FIRST HOLE IN ONE only 9 1/2 short weeks after my surgery! The smile in the pic attached says it all. I cannot thank Dr. Meyer and all involved for the care I received. I highly recommend them. They are the BEST!

I have been struggling with arthritis in my knee for over 7 years. The pain had steadily increased and was impacting my ability to enjoy many of the activities in my life. I was nervous about knee surgery and waited as long as I could to get it fixed. My experience with Dr. Kelly, his team and everyone at TCO has been outstanding. From the first visit, I could tell that this facility and the people on the team were top notch. Appointments, communication, scheduling, surgery and recovery were all handled with great attention to detail and professionalism. The surgery and recovery have gone great. I’m not yet at 3 months from surgery and I am back to enjoying golf and all the activities I love to do. Zero old knee pain! My strength and pain free flexibility have returned. Cliché, but I should have had this procedure done 3 or 4 years ago. My thanks to Dr. Kelly and his whole team! I strongly recommend them.

Jay Schindler and Nicole Anderson were a great team to help me recover strength in my knee following surgery! I strongly recommend them.

I just want to thank Dr. Christopher Meyer and his staff. The program I went through was amazing. The staff was even more amazing! The team helped me throughout the whole process and answered all my questions to make it a stress-free experience. My job is pretty physical where I need to kneel and get up from a kneeling position. I am able to do my job 100% and I am able to do it without pain. I am truly thankful that I chose this doctor and the staff that supports the whole process.

Both of my knees require regenerative injections. Dr. Moser did an excellent job of describing the condition, procedure and outcome. I can’t wait until my knees are back to normal. Dr. Moser clearly represents everything that puts TCO in a class by itself. Thank you!

Dr. Lewis and his staff were great. No questions or concerns were left unanswered and I was never felt like I was being rushed.

I recently had a total knee replacement with Dr. Bircher in March of 2023. He explained everything clearly and answered all my questions. He was unhurried and gave his undivided attention. He was also very accommodating to not only myself, but to my family. Dr. Bircher is clearly a skilled surgeon who cares about his patients.

Dr. Peterson performed a total knee replacement for me in March 2023. Right away it was easier going up stairs than it was before surgery, although recovery was painful for the first three weeks. By the week two I was walking without a cane and by week six, I was going for walks outside and doing a little yard work. I’m so glad I had surgery. I’m back to my water exercise class at the YMCA. Thanks Dr. Peterson and staff. The staff at Fairview Wyoming was great too.

I sustained a knee injury during a gymnastics competition that required immediate surgery at the trauma center at the Phoenix Children’s Hospital. I was out of state, completely alone, and had no idea on where to go next. Luckily one of the physical therapists at the competition was from TCO Eagan and referred me to Dr. LaPrade when I returned home. After visiting Dr. LaPrade, I felt like I could relax because I knew I was in good hands. It was absolutely crazy how everything was taken care of and how they guided me through every step of the way.

Dr. LaPrade did my full MCL reconstruction a few months later. I felt extremely safe, confident, and above all, comfortable. The surgery process with Dr. LaPrade and his team was very smooth and thorough. I was excited to have surgery and begin my recovery. I began physical therapy at the Vadnais Heights – Training HAUS location. Working with the PT’s there made me stronger than I ever was before. I felt like I gained a second family. I have never felt so supported by a team of individuals in my life. Now nearly a year from my initial break, I am well past recovered, and am better than I was pre-injury. My experience at TCO and Training HAUS has truly changed my life forever.
