February 23, 2024ORTHOPAEDICS CENTERExcellent manner. Easy to talk with. Ran a good team
February 23, 2024ORTHOPAEDICS CENTERDr Nixon was very good at explaining my options, but I do wish he would have been more willing to provide his recommendation for treatment. He gave me three options and told me the benefits of all three, but stated he did not like to tell patients which option they should pick. I do understand that reasoning, but I¿m not a doctor nor do I have experience in my treatment options, so I look for more guidance from the doctor who is knowledgeable.
February 21, 2024SOUTH JORDAN HEALTH CENTERExcellent visit. Dr. Nixon took care to explain everything.

February 09, 2024ORTHOPAEDICS CENTERDr. Nixon was very good at explaining to me what the problem is with my toe. And suggested that I should do seek the next step. I agreed and am waiting for the next step. Great visit.
