“Dr. Nicholson thoroughly explained everything about the potential surgery. He was my second opinion, and I immediately switched to having him do my surgery. He made me completely comfortable with the decision to proceed. It was the best experience I’ve had with a doctor in a long time. I highly recommend him.”

“My sister referred Dr. Plyler as an excellent doctor with great bedside manners. I came to the office for my right shoulder. He ordered an MRI, which showed no surgery was necessary, but he administered a cortisone shot for pain and some therapy. Dr. Plyler gets five stars, hands down.”

“If you're looking for an Orthopedic Surgeon, look no further, Dr. Brian Torpey is simply the best. I cannot say enough about Dr. Torpey and his skillful, compassionate, and resourceful mindset. He is extremely intelligent, persistent, and considerate. His calm demeanor, detailed explanations, and bedside manners are superior. I never once felt the sense of discouragement in his voice. His staff is always courteous, kind, and attentive too, especially (but not limited to) LeeAnn, Janis & Maryanne. I experienced a serious injury to my shoulder, and after extensive surgery & treatment by Dr. Torpey, I'm on the road to recovery. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Dr. Brian Torpey to anyone who needs an Orthopedic Surgeon. Thank you, Dr. Torpey.”
