This guy is money... asked a bunch of precise questions, layed me down for 5 minutes to evaluate. Pushed his finger right where it hurt, told me what happened and what's needed to be done. Confidence level is 100 %, stay tuned for the orthoscopic results when surgery is scheduled.
Dr. Nicholas is a pro all around, including everyone on his team. I have been a patient for over 10 years and he keeps me moving!
Doctor Nicholas is the best doctor.
