Patient Video Reviews

  • “I was delighted with every step of the process. All pre-op questions got answered clearly and patiently. The operation went flawlessly, and I walked around my block two days after the procedure. Post-operative pain was minimal, and I was soon able to do things I hadn't done in years. It felt like I'd gotten a big part of my life back. This experience was pretty much identical to the one I'd had the previous year with Dr. Gesell when he replaced my other knee. Thank you so much, Dr. Gesell.”

  • “Was greeted warmly when I arrived. The receptionists were friendly and helpful. Waited only about 10-15 minutes and saw the doctor. He was very kind and thorough. Checked the X-rays and told me his diagnosis. Explained everything and even use plastic models to show what needed to be done. I chose the conservative approach and will wait and see how it works. I would recommend Dr. Nicholson without reservations.”

  • “Dr. Bade first repaired my right shoulder. With extensive PT I was able to get almost 100% usage. This time the damage to the same joint was much more extensive, but after Dr. Bade's surgery in August and ongoing PT, I hope to get back to personal construction projects shortly.”
