Dr. Bjerke replaced my left knee in April 2018. The surgery took away my arthritis pain in that knee immediately. After 6 weeks of outpatient therapy at TCO, I was able to walk again better than I had in many years. Dr. Bjerke and his staff (Katie and Andria) took wonderful care of me. I recommend them to anyone!!

I was recently involved in a very bad motorcycle accident in which I was airlifted from the accident scene because of my severe injuries. The silver lining to this difficult time was the fact that I became a patient of Dr. David Gerlach. Dr. Gerlach performed multiple surgeries to repair my injuries and the results have been excellent! More importantly, I found Dr. Gerlach to be caring, genuine and extremely supportive throughout this process. I couldn’t think of a better hand surgeon to see under the circumstances. I would strongly recommend him to any person including family and friends.

Dr. Neil Johnson has been my family’s choice for orthopedic care starting in 2010 when our son tore his ACL. Since then Dr. Johnson has fixed both my wife’s rotator cuff, my rotator cuff (and soon my other one) and just this past year a total knee replacement on me. Both Dr. Johnson and Tad have made us feel comfortable every step of the way and confident in their abilities as well as the outcomes. I highly recommend Dr. Johnson and his team for your knee and or shoulder care.

We wanted to express to Dr. Steven Meisterling – my goals following my knee replacement in May 2018 were to dance the Polka and drive a tractor. And in the last 2 weeks, I have been dancing the Polka, Waltz and 2-step and driving a tractor. Please relay the message and thank you!

Dr. Meletiou & Team –

My experience with you was awesome! It was a pleasure meeting you all! Every person I came in contact with were professional and gave me a sense of comfort immediately! Dr. Meletiou and team were a pleasure! Their smiles, happy faces and caring presence made this a great experience. Very, very professional.

Much love to all of you,

Nena T.

Dr. Knowlan,

Good morning, I stopped by your office in Stillwater yesterday. I was in the area and wanted to express my extreme pleasure on the outcome of my hip replacement your team performed in January of this year.  I was able to tell the staff up front about complete satisfaction.

Everything I was told before my operation was spot on and beyond my expectations. Everyone on your team gave 110% and I am extremely grateful for the outcome.

Prior to surgery I was unable to sit comfortably and when getting on my motorcycle I witnessed a lot of pain trying to lift my leg over the frame. I no longer have this pain and now can sit comfortably, can now lift my knee to bend over to my other knee with out any discomfort.

Another bonus is I can now walk more upright and without the pain I previously had. It is very nice to be able to take a speed walk with my wife without experiencing a fair level of discomfort/pain!

Also, I was very impressed with your visit the night of my surgery….even with the snow storm.

In closing, thank you and your great team for the wonderful outcome of my surgery . I am very grateful to be able to get back to doing things I didn’t think I would ever be able to do again!

Sincerely,

Jim E.

I have been dealing with osteoarthritis for a number of years. When I finally decided to do something about it, I had Dr. Arntson recommended to me. I couldn’t have asked for a better doctor in every way. He is kind, a good listener and really cares about his patients. But, most important, he is an excellent surgeon. I have had very quick recoveries in both hips as his surgery experience is the less traumatic anterior hip replacement. Thank you Dr. Arntson, from the bottom of my heart. I look forward to better days ahead.

If all I have to say is GREAT then that’s what Dr. Vargas is just GREAT on 10 topping over 9.9.

Dr. Kirksson is knowledgeable, kind and compassionate. He truly cares about his patients. He took the time to talk and explain things in a way that I understood and went out of his way to make sure that I was cared for.

I had hip replacement surgery in Feb. 2018. The pain is gone, I am moving about better than I have in years. I would highly recommend Dr. Sanders and the staff at RC Hospital & Clinic in Olivia. Very good care and the result has completely exceeded my expectations. I am very glad I had the procedure done.
