I am a 66 year old, very active woman. I was referred to your practice group by my chiropractor who had experienced fabulous results at the TCO Southdale clinic after breaking her leg.

Dr. Arntson seemed like a good fit and had a clinic location near me, so I came to see him about my knee pain. I had previously been seen by three MDs, one of whom specializes in sports medicine, and one who is an orthopedic surgeon. All three were quite dismissive about my pain, and all told me that “it’s just arthritis, everyone gets it.” When asked what I could do, none of them offered any solution other than leg exercises, which hurt so much that I couldn’t do them.

Dr. Arntson gave me his undivided attention and it was clear that he took me very seriously. We discussed the different alternatives available (cortisone injections, gel injections and knee replacement) at length, and I fully understood the options. I opted to go with cortisone injections. He was very helpful in making sure that my insurance would cover the visits and the procedures, and I received the first injection in my right knee.

It seems to make an immediate difference, so I came back one week later for the injection in my left knee. His bedside manner, gentleness in prepping and injecting my knees was remarkable. I had absolutely no pain either time.

Unfortunately, the relief only lasted about 6 weeks, so I returned, and we decided to try the injections of gel. These have been very helpful, again, no pain upon injections, and increased flexibility and comfort in walking.

I know that Dr. Arntson believes that I will let him know if I need further treatment, and if so, we can assess my progress and discuss my options. I would happily recommend him and the entire staff at the clinic to anyone.

After years of progressive loss of using my right shoulder I met with Dr. Kelly.  From the first interview, it was like talking to an old friend.  My experience from start to finish has been great  and the shoulder works better than it has in years…feels like new.  Thanks Dr. Kelly.

In 2000/2001 I had a very herniated disk. I had lost sensation and function in my left lower leg. It took 4 days from diagnosis to surgery.  Dr. Holte did a fabulous job. I had zero post-op pain and have had no issues nearly sixteen years later.

My 20 year old daughter has been a patient of Dr. Bartie since the age of 13.  She had surgery in May 2016 because of the severity of the scoliosis.  Dr. Bartie is amazing and I would highly recommend him.  He has a wonderful bed side manner, answered all the questions we had before and after surgery, extremely knowledgeable in his field.

2 years ago, I had my right hip replaced at 36 y/o.  This week, I had my left hip replaced. Both by Dr. Owen O’Neill.  I have re-read my past testimonial and I wouldn’t change a thing. From start to finish, you are good hands. Well cared for, educated and continually reminded that every single person involved in the process from pre-op to post-op are looking out for your best interest.  I now have a pair of Nike Dri-Fit shirts with TCO embroidered on them. I wear them because they are great quality, sure, but I also wear them every week because they remind me how much pain I carried with me daily and how much higher my quality of life is to be able to run around with my two kids as they grow day by day.  If I had a TCO branded outfit for everyday of the week, I’d wear it with pride. I can’t possibly Thank Dr. O’Neill or the Excel team enough. You have truly changed my life.

I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Seybold, his team and TCO. Everyone is kind, patient and always have a smile for you. I had previous bunion surgery years ago at another hospital and they came back. In 2015 I meet Dr. Seybold and he redid my right foot. I am finally pain free on that foot and in 2016 he has correct my left foot bunion and hammer toe. I can’t wait till I can start running again pain free! I also like that Dr. Seybold does all of the surgery and closure and rewraps your bandages during the office visits. You never feel rushed when you see him. Any question and he will take the time to answer them until you understand what is going on. 5+ stars!!

My wife and I both had surgeries by Dr. McCarthy and we highly recommend her.

I saw Peter for surgery and post-op. Knowing he is a “Santa” around the holidays, I was happy to be able to take care of his finger’s before his big day.

When Dr. Schneider first saw me, the damage to my shoulder was so bad that he wasn’t sure if it was repairable, but he immediately scheduled me for surgery and I never had one moment of anxiety or doubt, because I completely trusted him and the staff at High Pointe Surgery Center. 

Dr. Schneider’s reputation as a surgeon is exceptional and I personally knew people who highly recommended him. I could not have asked for a more qualified and experienced surgeon.  My partner also had rotator cuff surgery with Dr. Schneider at High Pointe Center several years ago and we were both very impressed with the quality of care he received then.

I cannot express enough thanks and gratitude to the doctors and staff who cared for me both at TC Orthopedics in Stillwater and at High Pointe Surgery Center in Lake Elmo .  Dr. Schneider and his clinician, Sue, are exceptionally caring professionals who carefully explained the procedure, answered all my questions, and made me feel confident in the positive outcome of my surgery. 

Currently, I am still undergoing physical therapy, but am looking forward to soon having full use of my arm again – thanks to Dr. Schneider and the TC Orthopedic staff and therapists.

I have battled turf toe, arthritis in a specific joint and dealt with chronic pain for 18 months. After hearing I might need surgery I visited Dr. Langer and learned my issues are reasonably straightforward to manage and am not in a position where surgery is even a consideration – yay! I like his openness to listen and work with you. His support staff seems cut from the same cloth. He helped me prepare for a trip the following day and gave me confidence on how to limit and manage any pain from walking. I am a now a believer that a podiatrist is the only specialist to visit for foot ails and think I got lucking finding Dr. Langer.

Dr. Arntson and staff have been Fantastic, the nursing staff ( Fridley, CR, Otsego) have been so kind and comforting through this tough surgery and recovery process, including the X-ray & MRI techs. Kristin, Dr. Arntson assistant has been so kind and helpful making sure I don’t miss any appts. I would highly recommend Dr. Arntson to anyone for ACL surgery he is very transparent and truly cares about his patients.
