I'm a surfer from Long Island and have been a surfing for over 50 years. I've Traveled and surfed the Caribbean, Santa Barbara California, and all islands of Hawaii except for Maui. Unfortunately Osteoarthritis runs in my family and it came the time when I was experiencing severe pain in my hip which affected my gate and the only way I could sit on my surfboard was to out stretch my leg to minimize the severe pain. I went to other Doctors who weren't helping me. Then one of my surfing buddies said "Hey why don't you go see Dr. Nicholas" and right off the bat, I new this Doctor was extremely knowledgeable, and very concerned about the pain I was suffering. He performed my total hip replacement. I was nervous at first but his affable demeanor and substantial surgical experience put me at ease. The whole surgical procedure: scheduling by the staff, pre-surgical testing, Hospital, etc. was like clockwork. Now I'm out there again, enjoying life waiting for that perfect wave.
Outstanding. The best!
Top doc‼️ You feel confident in his hands.
