A little over four months later I'm walking 2 to 3 miles daily with minimal swelling and discomfort. I'm in my mid 60s. I'm very grateful to Dr Nickisch for repairing my ankle to the best that it can be. A skilled surgeon !!
February 22, 2024ORTHOPAEDICS CENTERDr. Nickisch is a fabulous physician, who patiently discussed the likely outcomes to different approaches. He is caring and knowledgeable, and someone I trust to make decisions in my care. I appreciated that he and his staff respond to questions promptly
February 10, 2024ORTHOPAEDICS CENTERI would highly recommend Dr Florian Nickisch to anyone who is experiencing the least bit of trouble with their feet. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional in every way yet very caring and compassionate. He listened intently to every concern or question I had throw the process of my surgery and long recovery. I am grateful to be doing so well but at the same time saddened that I no longer need to be seeing him or his staff because of the success of his care.
