October 18, 2024ORTHOPAEDICS CENTERDo NOT get your surgeries done with Doctor Nickisch, or at The University of Utah at all, period. You are absolutely nothing more than a number to these people, they will treat you like an inconvenience anytime you need any help or have any questions or concerns you'd like to discuss, & the receptionist staff will make sure to let you know how overworked they are & how much of an inconvenience you are to them as a whole. The staff will never have time to review your chart, & you will be solely responsible for remembering any and all care instructions that were ever given to you, as no one will ever bother glancing at your chart. Doctor Nickisch himself is an amazing surgeon, and is very good at surgery, however he and his staff are far too busy and overworked to give proper patient care and this hospital only cares about their stats too much to treat you as anything more than a number. Go to a hospital that cares about their patients instead, save yourself the depressing recovery.
