I highly recommend Dr. Nixon for an ankle repair surgery! I had been seeing another doctor for chronic ankle pain for months not getting anywhere. Dr. Nixon was completely different with my care.

Dr Nixon is THE BEST! From our first visit, all the way thru post op and beyond. HIGHLY recommend him!!

My first experience with Dr. Nixon and could not be more pleased. I had been to several other doctors and did not feel they even listened to me. I am now ready to move forward with surgery because of him.
Dr. Nixon is absolutely excellent.
Very professional/knowledgeable. Easily answered my technical questions and was reassuring that it would be a successful surgery (although time will tell if that ends up being true it was what I needed to hear in the moment). He really showed that he cared about my recovery at a time when I needed someone to do just that.
He is always patient & answers all of my questions. Very calm & kind demeanor. Great bedside manner.
Great credentials. Listened carefully. Interview terminated only at the point where I had nothing more to say.
Dr. Nixon had studied my case the day before I came in which was lengthy so I didn't have to explain everything myself. He was helpful, kind, attentive and knowledgeable.

Excellent support and outcome regardless of surgery
Very good. Listens, explains, and personal in his care and actions. Highly recommend Dr Nixon b
Excellent manner. Easy to talk with. Ran a good team
Dr 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.
Excellent visit. Dr. Nixon took care to explain everything.
Dr Nixon is my Angel from Heaven. Without him, I don't know where I'd be. Thank you
Thought he was great, very easy to talk to and even as a surgeon did not recommend surgery but alternate options . I really appreciated that
Dr. 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.
Dr. Nison is wonderful. He is extremely knowledgeable and listens to my concerns and answers my questions. This makes me feel like I'm in good hands.
Dr Nixon has been amazing to work with.
Dr. Nixon appears to be a good surgeon. The surgery he did on my foot went well. It's his lack of bedside manner that was concerning. Even the post-op nurse commented on it. All of my interactions with Dr. Nixon have been polite, but terse. He won't explain anything to me unless I specifically ask a question. He won't offer his advice unless you ask for it. He'll simply say, "well what do you think?" Isn't it the role of the doctor to answer that question? I then have to ask him what my options are. Otherwise, he won't tell me. It's like pulling teeth to get information from him.
Very sharp about my injury and gave me strong advise that if i didn't get an mri & my foot could heal and cause me large problems later on. His concern made me follow through on what was best for me. Without his advise I could of lost my arch and been in a different world of trouble down the road. I trust him and his resident they are a good team you can just tell.
Dr. Nixon was awesome. Told me how things were going, addressed concerns and questions.
Excellent provider. Communication with me is also excellent. Highly recommend!
Superb medical professional and all around good human being!
He is very knowledgeable and offers and includes all discussion about your care! He discusses any and all options available, and makes sure you understand all aspects of treatment.
Dr. Nixon successfully tackled my badly fractured foot with great success. He also has a wonderful bedside manner!

Personable, Professional and expertly competent

Dr. Nixon was very comforting every step of the way, before, during and after my surgeries. He is a very good communicator. My final outcome was GREAT!
Dr. Devon Nixon is a fantastic surgeon. I have charlot (sp) foot and had two options: save my foot or have it amputated. He said he thought he could operate and save my foot, which he did. He was upfront that the process could take up to a year. He is not only a fantastic surgeon, but he is kind, caring, professional, humble and has no ego. I can't thank him enough.
Dr. Nixon was very thorough, reassuring and kind. We always felt he had our best interest. I would highly recommend Dr. Nixon.

He was knowledgeable and gave me all the options. He took great care me.
Dr. Nixon has been very diligent in the care of my foot. He has not been able to solve my problem. Now I have a broken bone in my leg to add to the problem.
I am very happy with the way he treated me and the care I was given. He is very knowledgeable about his field of choice. He explained things to me very well and I was able to understand what was to happen in surgery and the anticipated outcome. I would refer any person I know to his care. Thank you Dr. Nixon.
Excellent care!!
Excellent doctor. He listened to me and his staff is excellent.
He is very kind. Listened and explained things to ensure that I was completely aware of what needs to happen. He has also left the decision making up to me. Which most doctors I have gone to in the past have not done. I'm very appreciative of that.

Dr. Nixon was willing to listen and took the time to explain all of my options. He accepted my decision as to my care.
Ive never been more confident in a practitioner. So glad I injured myself on his shift!
He went above and beyond my expectations. He was very thorough. Once the MRI was done, he explained all of the findings in great length. Once a plan of action was made, he made sure that I knew what to expect every step of the way. I would absolutely recommend him to others. It's nice to be able to get around now with much less fear and likely hood that I will fall and hurt it even more. Thanks again Dr. Nixon!! [NAME REMOVED]
One of the most empathetic and well spoken doctors Ive ever had (Im 69 years old). I wish he was a pcp!

Good first visit and respectful
I had an unusual injury, and Dr Nixon was the only doctor out of the three I saw that understood the seriousness of the injury and would treat it. I really appreciate his expertise.
Dr. Nixon is kind and caring. He is an expert in his field and thanks to him, I can now walk. I can't thank him enough. Wonderful!
I met Dr. Nixon a short time ago when I was referred to him to remove a mass on my foot. I knew nothing about him and I went to the appointment with a small amount of trepidation wondering if I had made the correct choice. I did not need to worry. The staff at the U of U Clinic and Dr. Nixon welcomed me with such kindness and care. I never felt like I was wasting their time, etc. (as I looked at it as only a bump on my foot). My appointments have always been very efficient, but I have never felt rushed. I have felt that Dr. Nixon has made sure with each appointment that all my questions and concerns have been addressed before he leaves the room.
The first appointment I had with Dr. Nixon he spent a significant amount of time discussing my options. Once I made a decision surgery was scheduled and away we go. Excellent doctor.
Dr. Nixon's verbal communication skills are exceptional. He maintains a professional as well as compassionate relationship with all people that he encounters. He is very dedicated to what he wishes to accomplish. I believe he is a huge asset to the University of Utah.
I've never had a doctor ask me if I still believe the care we chose was the correct course of action- and I've never felt as confident that the doctor genuinely wanted to know.
Dr. Nixon was great. He literally sat down listened to me, examined my ankle,watched me walk. He told me his opinion and explained It In a way I could understand. He showed me braces ai should use. He Is the best. Would definitely come back to him
I trust him!
Honest - direct - and excellent appt

Dr Nixon called us 2 days straight after our appointment keeping us informed with test results and what his plan of care is looking like, even before our virtual appointment.
Good!!
I felt Heard and not doubted for my pain for the first time since the injury 10 weeks ago. Dr. Nixon explained what he saw and showed me on both the X-ray and mri, and then we discussed all options. I was able to make a scary decision with full confidence that I was making the choice that felt right to me, and was fully informed on what to expect moving forward, and when we decided to go ahead with surgery he found a very quick appointment to make it easy as possible. Dr Nixon has been great through the whole process
Dr Nixon has an excellent bedside manner. He's attentive and cares.
I was a little disappointed because I thought my appointment was with Dr Nixon and it was with a bunch of other people which is fine because we are teaching hospital but when they scheduled the appointment they didn't tell me it was with all the different drs only with dr Nixon when he came in I only got to spend 5 min with him I had alot of questions for him but they left my head and I felt after my surgery he really didn't care that I was just another patient to him I really like Dr Nixon and think he has a good bedside matter
Dr. Nixon was knowledgeable, kind and informative.
The PA was excellent in explaining what he was looking at and testing for. I was very impressed with how he listened to me and my concerns and his explanations.
Dr. Nixon's care and concern are much appreciated.
Dr. Nixon and his asst. Are always eager to listen to what I want . They try to work with me and do what we believe is the best course of action.
Healing is better than what I expected. Dr. Nixon certainly did his part and I did mine in the excellent healing and Improvement of my foot
We didn't discuss what was to happen next on proper care, so I had to message him in My Chart.

Listened to issues and gave precise answers
All three providers focused on me.Great experience
Dr. Nixon is very thorough and always makes sure all my questions are answered. He Is very reassuring and has a positive attitude.
The intern Josh and Dr. Devon Dixon were very pleasant, efficient and exceptional.
Dr. Nixon was able to provide me with information about an ankle fusion however he advised me he did not have extensive expertise on an ankle replacement. I appreciated his honesty in this disclosure.
Good experience
Dr Nixon listened to my concerns and, even though we decided the pain in my ankle wasn't really an ankle issue after all, he validated my concerns and agreed that the ankle adjacent area on my lag should be evaluated with an MRI so he made sure to place an order for one so it could be done before the end of the year, when my deductible resets.
Dr. Nixon is wonderful. I'm so grateful to have been able to see him for my injuries, surgery and recovery. He never made me feel rushed, he always listened to every concern I had with total patients and I always left feeling comforted after seeing him.
I have never had a doctor with better bedside manner. Especially an orthopedic one.
Dr. Nixon is an excellent doctor - very kind, professional, and patient. He made sure to answer all my questions thoroughly, and I felt very comfortable with the treatment plan discussed. He has a presence of calm and genuine care. Very grateful and highly recommend.
Dr Nixon is excellent. I highly recommend him to others.
Dr Wang was amazing. He was good at communicating and showed sincere interest in helping me. My experience with U of U has been great.
Dr. Nixon was very knowledgeable. He also took the time to get to know me a little and realize the impact my injury would have on my life. He was through in explaining things and answered all of my questions in detail. I really felt comfortable and confident with his care.
He never said what was causing the pain, he told that it wasn't a fracture, but never said what it was. Still not sure what is wrong with the ankle, just been told to go to PT
Very good experience
Very nice.
Dr. Nixon was so kind and clear in his explanation. He knew that I had taken a day off work to be able to attend this appointment. He went out of his way to get me in for a CT scan that very same day and then followed up with me in real time. This saved me another trip (I am from out of the SLC area) another copay and another day off of work. This must have thrown a wrench into his day to see me twice but the care and concern for me and my time was unlike anything I've ever had from any provider in any setting. Dr. Nixon included me in the decision and future steps related to my healing. I left feeling cared for, valued, and overall better about my future and how my injury will impact my life.
Dr. Nixon was very thorough and understandable in describing treatment and possible surgery. He gave me hope I gave him all of that, one way or the other, I would end up with full use of my foot or at least 90%. He warned me of the downside of six weeks and a boot and not being able to put any weight on my foot. So far oh, I like and trust this doctor
