Dr. Nicholas Dirig is board-certified by the American Osteopathic Board of Orthopedic Surgery and fellowship-trained in Adult Reconstruction. For Dr. Dirig, there’s nothing more satisfying than seeing a patient who could barely move due to hip or knee pain, walking the morning after surgery.

Dr Dirig spends time to make sure I understand and he takes the time for me to ask questions.

Wow!!! What an awesome experience I just had with Dr. Dirig. He gave me as much time as I needed.. answered all my questions in extreme detail. I never had an experience like this... One of my celebrity friends actually referred doctor Dirig and now I know why....👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.

He was thorough, he explained everything and listened carefully. I came away understanding my knee much better and with a plan of care I think will be very effective. Thanks!!

Dr Dirig is kind and puts one at ease. immediately. He reviewed information regarding results of CT scan and X-rays and explained what the results indicated for “whats next”. He provided me with options and I felt comfortable making my decision (to have replacement surgery).

Dr. Dirig is my favorite doctor I've ever had. He's not stogy or clinical. He's very down to earth and real and treats you like a person and not just another patient. He tells you the truth and doesnt judge. I just love him. Great doctor
“When I was 15, my single mother had to have her knee replacement redone and I was allowed to get my drivers license early so I could drive her to her doctor appointments. It was at that time that I knew medicine, and in particular Orthopedics, was my calling. I wanted to understand why her first knee replacement failed and what could be done to prevent it. I’ve always had a passion for building and tinkering with things and using my hands, so throughout my medical training, Orthopedics was a natural fit. For me, there’s nothing more satisfying than seeing a patient who could barely move due to hip or knee pain, walking the morning after surgery! Like most of my patients, I enjoy staying active and being outdoors. Cycling, hiking, skiing, triathlons, and traveling keep me plenty busy outside of medicine!”
