Patient Testimonials

I had a minimally invasive anterior approach hip replacement in September 2023. Prior to surgery, I wasn’t able to golf, garden or even walk average distances due to bone pain and the lack of range of motion. After surgery, I didn’t have any bone pain. I regained complete mobility and activity. At 2.5 weeks post-surgery, I no longer needed a walker or cane. I resumed my 2-3 miles walks. I followed Dr. O’Neill’s post-op recovery guidelines and got clearance to resume sport activities after my follow-up visit with him.

His staff was top notch. They were very accessible when I had questions and didn’t rush when assisting me. I highly recommend Dr. O’Neill and his staff should a hip replacement be needed.

I couldn’t be more satisfied. Dr. Carlson gave me exceptional care and made sure I was recovering well.

Dr. Schmiesing did fantastic work replacing my left hip. He was very friendly, kind, efficient, patient, and thorough. He informed me what to expect, answered all my questions, performed a great operation, and took the time and care for whatever my needs were for the follow up. I couldn’t have asked for better results. I thank him and his staff all very much for their professional care, compassion, and support.

Dr. Wetter was great. He is very knowledgeable and efficient. I had a quick recovery.

Two months after my hip replacement surgery, I am fully recovered and able to continue my normal activities. I am able to walk more than two miles with no restrictions. I have had no pain and needed no pain medication. I am 80 years old, so this is a testimonial to the skill of Dr. Wetter and his team. His manner was both professional and caring. I would recommend him highly.

Dr. Bircher worked with me for arthritis pain in my right leg. After some injections and waiting out the pain (while recovering from a different surgery) we were ready for hip replacement. Dr. Bircher encouraged me to stop smoking and I am now on 7 months of no smoking. Surgery went wonderfully. I woke up and as I was walking around, he was in my hallway to check on me. The pain was gone right away. He talked me through a lot of pain before surgery, but I’m so glad I did it.

My experience at TCO with Dr. Arntson is an A+. I came to TCO not able to walk. Dr. Arntson was able to diagnose the issue and provide professional care. I highly recommend Dr. Arntson. I’m 43 post-surgery, having my right hip replaced with a titanium ball and stem. I’m walking without support, my pain and aches are very minimal. I don’t have to rely on pain medication either. I have received the best care. I’m 84 years old and am very grateful to Dr. Arntson for his outstanding care and knowledge to perform a difficult surgery on me.

Dr. Knowlan and his team did a fantastic job with my hip replacement surgery and I am nearly back to normal after just 15 days. The entire experience from diagnosis, to planning, to execution and recovery, was very professional and effective. The crew at Woodwinds Hospital was great as well. They helped me through the first 18 hours after surgery and quickly got me on the way home the next morning. Thank you Dr. Knowlan. I really appreciate what you’ve done for me!

I am so thankful for my hip replacement completed by Dr. Nessler. I am not even three weeks from surgery and I am doing great. I look forward to getting back to life!

I’m very grateful for the surgical skill of Dr. Randall Lewis. Last May (2023). I experienced a sudden severe pain in my left hip and thigh. My walking was affected and couldn’t put pressure on my left leg. Life activities came to a sudden stop and I made an appointment to see Dr. Lewis. Within a few hours after an MRI, he called and gave me the diagnosis. A total hip arthroplasty surgery could be a choice for improvement, and that was my decision. In September 2023, Dr. Lewis skillfully performed my procedure and I am happy to report it was the correct choice. I requested physical therapy for 6 weeks post-op, and it was very helpful. As of November 2023 I am feeling very well. I am walking well and I am so grateful. Dr. Lewis, I appreciate your surgical work. Thank you!
