Very nice guy.
Always good to see Dr. Van Roekel. He actually takes time to listen and clarifies that we both are “on the same page” concerning treatment options.
Very personable and explained things. He took his time. I was very impressed
Nick took the time to answer my questions thoroughly and thoughtfully.
He made sure all my questions were answered. Made me feel at ease and had great bedside manner.
He explained the surgical procedure and spent time answering my questions. I like that he has a sense of humor.
Dr Van Roekel is very personable as well as professional. He makes you feel comfortable doesn’t rush your appointment. He wants to know you’re 100% satisfied with how you’re feeling before leave. He’s very kind and caring. Plus he’s an excellent surgeon. Highly recommend Dr Van Roekel.
Best ever

Very helpful in explaining details of my injury and what process would help me recover and hopefully get relief. Very appreciated.
