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 is an excellent Orthopedic Surgeon. Coming up will be my 3rd surgery with him, both knee replacements and a severed quadricep. I have recovered from 1 knee replacement and the quad surgery and will be having my 2nd knee done and would have nobody else perform the surgery than Dr Dirig

Extremely patient, very thorough, makes a step by step plan for care. Explains in layman's terms for you to understand the process and answers all questions with honesty. Definitely recommend!!!
“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!”
