“I stopped doing many of the activities I enjoy due to neck pain. Now boating, hunting, and four-wheeling are all fun again. I can even look right and left when I drive. Thank you.”

We take great pride in our medical and dental staff and you are an example of the reason why.”

“I actually damaged my shoulder several years ago, but aggravated the injury in November 2014. Dr. Bade looked at my shoulder, ordered X-rays, and an MRI, after which he sat with both my wife and me (spending an hour with us discussing options). He advised that I must perform physical therapy before he would even consider surgery (he did not jump at the chance to do surgery). I went through the PT, and unmistakably, my shoulder felt so much better. I felt so good, that I did not intend to request surgery, but unfortunately I injured the shoulder again while lifting my 95 year old mother after she had fallen. I will need to see Dr. Bade once again . . . and look for his expert advise before jumping to any 'surgery' conclusions.”

“Dr. Bade performed an arthroscopic surgery on my knee after I suffered cartilage damage. It had been nearly 20 years since my last surgery, which took place during my 4 years as a D1, basketball player. The results were so good that I was able to go back, against Dr. Bade's recommendation mind you, to playing basketball weekly, running long distances and hiking. I have recommended Dr. Bade many times for his excellent work and results, professionalism, and great candor.”

Treating Doctor:“Highly recommend. The entire team is excellent. They’re professionals as the experience from start to finish was flawless. It’s a rare find when you know they care and go the extra mile to help. Doctor Nicholson is a league of his own. He took time to explain and walk me thru the next steps and timeframe. Kathy in finance is amazing. I’ve been thru a number of surgeries and health issues. I’ve never been treated so well. ”

“I was in a lot of pain from necrosis of the hip. I had hip replacement surgery by Dr. Gesell. I can only say that my experience and recovery have been wonderful, and I feel "as good as new." I lead a very active life and get lots of exercise, which is so important. I am very grateful that the whole problem has been so beautifully taken care of. Thank you so much.”
