His presence is there to assist in healing your physical condition …but his heart and soul is present to heal your emotional being. He’s a blessing and I’m grateful God brought him into my life to continue to help me through a long term trial. Thank you Dr. Nilssen

The first name for anything ankle or foot! Dr. Nillsen fixed both of my ankles in 2010. Now, 16 years later, I tried to destroy my left ankle. I would not have anyone other than Dr. Nillsen to take care of me.

By far the best ankle orthopedic in the country. Changed my son’s life after football injury and now he fixed me! Highly competent, professional and caring. There is none better…period!
