“This was my first meeting with Dr. Nicholson. He was very thorough and informative. Dr. Nicholson explained the condition and outlined two possible solutions. He is very easy to talk with and was interested in listening to my questions. I knew I made the right choice. Glad I met him.”

“In acute pain and without an appointment I arrived at the office the Monday after New Years Eve rather desperate for help, and gratefully, Dr. Bade saw me quickly. After an in-office X-ray, he immediately got me relief with medication and arranged an MRI and subsequent appointment with Dr. Barry Swick. Once the pain had eased I was able to go ahead with Dr. Swick who further evaluated my diagnosis with nerve testing and recommended Ron Weiss, Physical Therapist. I am continuing with the PT, which seems to help, and will consult again with Dr. Swick for a follow-up. It is the third time I have sought help with your skilled physicians. Dr Bade surgically corrected my left, rotator cuff in 2006 (which now functions well in my busy life) and advised me how to ease a meniscus tear in 2015. In each instance I felt complete confidence in Dr. Bade's expertise and advice and thank him for his wisdom at a time I was feeling such dire stress and pain. That is when you need a hero and he came through. So, thank you, Dr. Harry Bade and Dr. Barry Swick, for your care and professionalism, and to your kindly staff. Thank you so much.”

“Dr. Foos has performed surgery on me several times for my knee and shoulder. He and his staff have been great. If it wasn't for Dr. Foos I would not be getting ready for another season of college football.”

“I had gone to another physician before seeing Dr. Gabisan, and he told me right away that I would most likely have to go for surgery before even seeing the MRI. Dr. Gabisan said I did not have to have surgery after seeing the MRI and just had me wear a boot and within about 5 months I was healed. He was a very calming and relaxed doctor which made me feel very comfortable.”

“Not a bad one in the bunch! I saw Dr. Gesell for knee pain. He gave me a needle which I didn't even feel a pinch. I call this my six-month lub job. Dr. Gabisan removed a bone spur above my big toe this fall. I felt like I was at a spa. I was given heated blankets and a TV in my room. The staff was excellent as was my doctor. I was back to walking my dogs in a couple of days. I didn't need pain meds but took a couple of advil. I would recommend this procedure in a heartbeat.”
