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.

First appointment and I found Dr. Dirig to be a very bright, down to earth and just a straight up, caring, informative and genuine person, in every sense of the word. The medical profession and community as a whole, needs more physicians like him!

Dr. Dirig is an extraordinary MD, professional and practitioner, he gave me back my life and my legs. No words can express my gratitude. He is the kindest most gifted and genuine physician I have had the honor of knowing, as a nurse/patient 🌸

Doesn’t make you feel rushed and listens closely to what you have to say about your condition. Knowledgeable and thoughtful. Very friendly and caring. Good sense of humor too.
“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!”
