“Dr. Deal was very respectful in explaining my procedure in terms that I could understand. He showed empathy, kindness, and the ability to make me feel very comfortable. He made me feel as though we were friends, and I was able to put my trust in him. After surgery, I was pain-free! I highly recommend Dr. Deal!!”

“I saw Dr. Kneeland on October 9th. She was phenomenal and caring. Although it turned out my concerns were outside of her specialty, she examined me thoroughly, took the time to understand my priorities and concerns with my health, and still provided very helpful recommendations to consider for next steps on my journey. Thank you to Dr. Kneeland for your excellent care.”

“Dr. Barry has been exceptional from the first time I met him, through the surgery and follow up. Everything is going well with my recovery, and I really appreciate the team's great demeanor.”

“I have had several appointments with Dr. Marek and his PA, Ryan Bakko . I have been impressed with their responsiveness and willingness to partner with me in finding care solutions. I am currently pain free and able to return to all my activities without surgery. They are both great at listening and providing excellent follow-up care. I highly recommend Dr. Marek and his team at TCO.”

“Dr. Koch is an excellent orthopedic hand surgeon and very professional! The little finger on my left hand was afflicted with Dupuytren's contracture where my little finger was curling toward the palm of my hand. I could not straighten my little finger, and it was very difficult using my hand. Dr. Koch performed a procedure on that pinkie finger using the XIAFLEX medicine/protocol with precision. She exceeded my expectations with her outstanding repair. I can straighten my finger and now have full use of my left hand. I am extremely pleased with the outcome thanks to Dr. Koch!”

“Milt had excellent care from Dr. Rasmussen . He was gentle, caring, and knowledgeable. We would definitely visit him again if the need arises.”

“I had a total knee replacement in August 2026. I was so blessed to have Dr. Bircher . I've had a few joint replacements in the past, and he was so empathetic toward my condition. The surgery went well! I got the bike to use for 30 days, and it was a game changer to help my knee bend well. My incision was perfect! I did what he suggested, and everything came out great. Dr. Bircher is so skilled at what he does, and I trust him very much! His team is very prompt and well organized! I also want to thank Jen who helped me a lot before surgery.”

“I am a veteran and Dr. Comfort’s team went out of their way to help me complete all the forms I needed to apply for my VA claim that included medical records, letters from Dr. comfort detailing my diagnosis. I would recommend Dr. Comfort in the future if anyone were getting a total hip. His professionalism, character, and integrity truly demonstrated how care should be exhibited.”

“Dr. Comfort did an amazing job! Recovery was positive. There was pain but I was educated on how to control it by following the appropriate care plan. His care team, including Hanna, took the time return my calls, and meet face-to-face so I could get quick answers to any questions I had. Dr. Comfort's physician assistant was amazing and took the time to explain to my wife what the follow-up included, even going over what my limitations might be during recovery.”

“His care team was able to take the time to go in detail of what the procedure included, the intervention process, and how the surgery would be performed for the best outcome. Dr. Comfort's team followed up when I was discharged from the hospital to ensure the medications were refilled. All my questions were answered in a timely manner.”

“I would like to provide some positive feedback to Dr. Comfort and his care team at TCO. I received two surgeries from Dr. Comfort; one on June 18, 2025, and the second one on June 9, 2026. Both surgeries were total hip replacements . My experience was a very positive and enlightening experience. Dr. Comfort and his team explained to me in detail what the surgery included. They took the time to go over the recovery timeline and followed up by explaining further information with my wife after the surgery.”

“The care I received from Dr. Reynolds and his team was outstanding. I appreciated their open and honestness throughout my care. Dr. Reynolds jokingly said I likely wouldn’t like him for the first few days of my recovery. Now I am three weeks into my recovery, and the only complaint is that I'm not allowed to do whatever I want. After living with a high level of pain for many years, I now have no pain, can walk upright, and can lay flat in bed. I praise my Lord and Savior for giving Dr. Reynolds the skills and directing his team in the care they provided.”

“Dr. O'Neill was recommended to me by friends and a coworker. I chose him to perform my hip replacement surgery using a minimally invasive procedure. My initial visit with Dr. O'Neill was a very positive experience. He was very understanding, knowledgeable, caring, and listened to my plight. The surgery was also a positive experience. The team that worked with Dr. O'Neill was very caring and knowledgeable. I went from agonizing pain to no pain after surgery. I am back to work and walking easily with no discomfort. I have no restrictions on what I can do. I would highly recommend Dr. O'Neill.”

“Dr. Nessler performed a knee revision on my left knee . I just had my post-op year visit. The surgery turned out very well and I am happy with the function I have regained. It was a difficult recovery which was expected, but I have no regrets. I am pleased with my results. The staff that works with Dr. Nessler is always very helpful. I have a great deal of confidence in Dr. Nessler and his team. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Nessler and his team for giving me my mobility back.”

“I have great respect for Dr. Harris! I know that he will do his best to help people. I thank him for his kind care.”
