Dr. Nilssen provided excellent care from start to finish. He quickly identified the issue and explained it in a clear, understandable way, which gave me immediate confidence in the plan of care. His treatment approach was effective, and I appreciated how efficiently everything was handled without ever feeling rushed. He took the time to answer all of my questions thoroughly and made sure I felt informed and comfortable throughout the process. I would highly recommend Dr. Nilssen to anyone seeking knowledgeable and attentive orthopedic care.
