I recommend Dr. Nickisch to everyone.
Do 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.

I have high reguard for Dr Nickisch. He takes the time to explain my experience in terms I easily understand and doesnt pull punches when It comes to expectations of my recovery.
As usual, he was kind, helpful, encouraging and patient.
Dr. Nickisch and his staff are great.
I had 4 fractures, ruptured ligaments, and a damaged tendon {ankle}. 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 !!
Dr. 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
I 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.
Has a terrific persona as caring and capable health care provider
Un excelente doctor súper profesional y también una muy linda persona, estoy muy agradecida con el
Dr Florian is such a nice person, I enjoyed my visit with him.
Dr. Nickish was great! I was in good hands and would highly recommend him!!!
Florian Nickisch, MD was friendly, caring, direct and knowledgable.
Dr. Nickisch is a kind, knowledgeable Dr.
I had a very complicated case that some other surgeons refused to treat. Dr Nickish didn't shy away from the challenge. He indicated that this would be a very involved proposition and would involve a very long recovery. I am just beginning the rehabilitation process but have been very impressed with how little pain has been involved from the beginning. I feel DrNickish and his staff have been very timely and responsive in meeting all my needs.
I trust him and all of the staff
One in a million, the guy is phenomenal, would recommend to anyone and have
Dr Nickisch is wonderful. A very talented surgeon and very personable. I recommend him for your care you are in good hands.
Dr. Nickisch has been extremely thorough and meticulous the whole way through my process of healing from my ortho procedure.
A caring doctor with exceptional knowledge of my injuries and always provides excellent advice.
Dr. Nickisch does everything possible to help his patients to understand the importance of their behavior in achieving appropriate goals.
Dr Nickisch was attentive, caring and knowledgeable. We found a treatment that I was comfortable and he reassured me if I wasn't satisfied with the results from the treatment we agreed that we would pursue alternatives in the future. I would recommend him to treat loved ones and friends. Amazing!
I was very apprehensive about my foot surgery as my prior surgery several years earlier from another doctor was not a success and my foot was in serious pain. From the beginning, Dr. Nickisch was reassuring and made me feel comfortable. He listened and treated me with much respect. Now that my surgery is 7+ weeks in, I am so happy with the results. Dr. Nichisch did a great job and I highly recommend him. He will be the one I choose for surgery on my other foot. In my opinion, he takes pride in his work and cares about his patients.
Dr Nickisch is wonderful. He's very professional and has an excellent bedside manner. Highly recommend!
Dr Nickish is very warm, concerned and caring. He asked if I had any questions and answered all that I asked.
His expertise and kindness are exceptional.
Dr. Nickisch was awesome and answered all my questions and really took care of my needs.
Always takes the time to answer questions satisfactorily, and doesn't; make you wait in the exam room. He is cheerful. Positive personality. Great doctor.
Doctor Nickisch was very knowledgeable and answered my questions in a professional and caring way. He told me about risks and exactly what would be needed to be done to address my foot problem. He was upfront and honest. He made things work to get me into surgery quickly. Thank you.
Dr. Nickisch is a excellent surgeon, very professional and caring.
Dr. Nickisch did not appear to be rushed to see other patients- he stayed and answered all questions until all the questions were addressed. He has a reputation as an excellent surgeon and he seems as though he truly wants good outcomes for his patients.
So caring! Very professional
Very thorough and tells it like it is in the nicest of ways. Also arranged for a same day injection and since I live in Wyoming that made my visit convenient.
Dr. Nickisch is great. He listens to my concerns and provides available options for treatment. Pros and cons are explained and I'm involved in deciding next steps. He's realistically optimistic when helping me get back to the activities I love.
He was a very good listener and I enjoyed our conversation.
I've had a very bad experience with Dr. Saltzman so I was apprehensive. So far, Dr. Nickisch has seemed to be much better and I feel comfortable proceeding with him. I will know more after surgery.
Dr. Nickisch was kind, helpful, and interested in my concerns. I was following up on a surgery he performed almost three years ago and he remembered my case and its details. I felt listened to and he answered my questions in a helpful manner.
He was kind, patient and understanding.
Knowledgeable, good communication. No sense of being rushed.
I had 3 people refer Dr Nickisch. I can see why. I'm so glad to have him as my surgeon! Thanks!
Dr. Nickisch came highly recommended to me by other medical professionals and physical therapist. His reputation is impeccable when it comes to orthopedic medicine and or orthopedic surgery. He is a truly amazing when it comes to providing the right plan of action for your specific medical needs. Dr. Nickisch is a very caring and compassionate medical professional who works diligently to ensure the patients specific medical needs are met. I would highly recommend Dr. Nickisch to anyone having Achilles tendon issues.
This was our third visit to Dr. Nickisch. He is thorough, very transparent, and I very much appreciate his efforts to avoid performing a surgery that may not be warranted. Our teenage daughter feels heard and reassured by his gentle nature.
Excellent ability to explain issues and answer questions so you could understand the situation. Wonderful bedside manner
I've been going to doctors for over 60 years and Dr. Nickisch is one of my favorite. He explains things very well, he is friendly and makes me feel like I have a good chance of saving my foot. I am grateful I had him do my surgery.
Absolutely amazing. Dr Nickisch came highly regarded with a great reputation as an orthopedic surgeon. He was able to clarify an earlier diagnosis and get me started with a great prognosis. Dr Nickisch went above and beyond by even scheduling surgery for me the very next day to accommodate my needs. Absolutely amazing care from an extraordinary Dr.
Seeing Dr. Nickisch in clinic was a great experience. The front desk staff was really pleasant and suggested I stay around when I asked if I had time to grab a coffee. Before I could sit down in my chair and get comfortable Marco roomed me. Radiology was great. Everyone joked with me and heard my sob story with empathy. Tyler asked more about my ankle before Dr. Nickisch came in shortly after. They were all quite efficient in fact I don't think I've ever had an appointment go that quick. I was really pleasant with the experience and will refer and continue to come to UOC.
Dr. Nickisch is great! He showed great empathy and was very kind and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.
Dr. Nickisch was always very personable with lots of good information and time for my questions.
Dr. Nickish is the absolute best. He fixed my ankle a year after a different surgeon failed to. I had constant pain and walked with a noticeable limp, but after Dr. Nickish operated on it, I can walk normally without any pain. I am very grateful to him and can't recommend him enough. My only regret is having a different surgeon operate on it first. Thank you Dr. Nickish and University Orthopeadics.
He was very nice and kind. He understood my problem and explained very things clearly.
Never felt rushed, Dr Nickisch took the time to explain the Xrays, his plan for surgery, answered questions, and was very thorough in all phases of recovery. Very personable and welcoming.
Dr. Nickisch is a very respectful and caring person he care for his patients
It was a brief visit but felt comfortable with the answers I got. I felt Dr. Nickisch was very knowledgeable about my issues.
Dr. Nickisch is nothing short of a magician who has been able to repair my foot and get me waking and driving again. Definitely life-changing. I trust him implicitly.
Dr Nickisch is very thoughtful and thorough. He took care of my son 8 years ago and he was the only surgeon I wanted to take care of my ankle injury. He and his team are wonderful.
Muy buen Doctor , su atencin es excelente.
He is very through.
He has a great sense of humor and directness that both my husband (support) and I appreciated.
Dr Nickisch is great at getting right to the heart of the problem. He cares about people as individuals.
Dr Nickisch listened carefully and unlike most providers spent time actually physically examining my foot as opposed to just keeping his attention on the computer screen
Doctor Nickish has always been very kind and understanding hes always took such great care of me and helps me improve my health I know Im in the best of hands. I am very happy hes the one that will do my surgery in the upcoming weeks. Hes a great doctor.
This visit left me a little disappointed with the interaction with the Dr.
Dr. Nickish had amazing bedside manner and I know that I am being very well taken care of by h and his team.
Dr. Nickisch took the time to thoroughly review my films. He explained treatment options and possible outcomes. He gave me time to ask questions and seek clarification. I felt I had his attention throughout the appointment and I was given ample time to converse with him.
I like that hes directing quick to the point
Dr. Nickisch was very friendly and was very patient and answered all of my concerns. Thank YOU!
Dr Nickisch is very knowledgeable and I trust him with my care. I believe he will get me back on my feet!
Provided a diagnosis and courtesy
Excellent
He is very thorough and attentive to the needs of his patient with clear easy to understand language.
Dr. Nickisch is the BEST
I am seeing him about a revision surgery on my left foot, to repair a previous surgery that went bad. I trusted the way he spoke to me,even when he had to be fairly frank about some of the possibilities of success or failure of this second surgery. I thought we got along quite well.
Dr. Nickisch was fantastic. He really seemed to be thoroughly and genuinely interested in my ailment and in helping come up with a diagnosis and a game plan to fix the issues. I could not have asked for a better doctor.
After spending time with Dr Nickisch over multiple visits, it was apparent he is a man of integrity. He took everything into consideration and I truly appreciated it.
He was very good at explaining the situation to me.
I think he's great and very caring
Most excellent surgeon & very compassionate. Highly recommend him for orthopedic foot care/surgery.
Muy buen doctor y explica bien el procedimiento y tiene buenas opciones
Hes a wonderful doctor and a wonderful human.
Dr.Nickisch made me feel safe and comfortable with my problem and how I could do better with my ankle.
competent, skilled, able to communicate well, concerned
Very good
The surgeon and staff are a very caring and optimistic bunch and provide top notch care for their patients
The gentleman that fitted me to the air split did not explain or demonstrate its use. I figured it out on my own.
He was very nice, informative and very caring about my issue. I look forward to seeing him again.
Dr. Nickisch and his staff, including his PA, RN and and the supporting MRI team made an effort to help me understand that with PT and a minor surgery vs. what I thought I was going to have my condition could improve. This also requires a commitment to lifestyle changes. His encouragement and clear explanations on cause and effect made all the difference.
Dr. Nickisch is extremely knowledgeable. He was recommended to me by a friend who was very happy with the outcome of his surgery. I highly recommend him.
Dr. Nickisch was amazing from my 1st visit to my last. His whole staff was great, patient and understanding.
Can't say enough good things about my experience. What a professional and personal staff and Dr. Nickisch was far and above all expectations. I was very amazed at how seamless the whole procedure was and at all times felt as though I was in the best of hands.
Dr. Nickisch is the most consciencious, courteous, knowledgeable, and patient oriented Dr I have ever met.
He was very good and I felt confident with him. He forgot about another issue I had mentioned in my office appt with him, so that is why I rated his listening a little lower. I was so glad I advocated for myself or that issue would have been ignored during surgery.
Dr. Nickisch listen and pays attention to all the details and what is important to you, then he explain in a language that you would understand. I had the greatest experience in his care.
Went out of his way to accommodate me. Was able to complete scans, consults, etc. same day. This was very helpful as I was travelling a great distance. Was very thorough in the examination and explanation of concern and needed surgery.
Por supuesto, estoy muy contenta con la a tension que resivi
Excellent surgeon who I would recommend to everyone.
This is challenging situation, Dr. Nickisch and his staff are doing all they can to diagnose and treat my foot and ankle
I appreciated his empathy and expertise and willingness to communicate quickly and make a plan of care
Dr. Nickisch is fantastic. He is very good, caring, listened to the my problem, examined me carefully, gave me his diagnosis in clear terms, advised me on what I should and should not do and gave me clear next steps for following up on the next steps.
Listened to my concerns, did a thorough examination
Things were explained in a way I could understand. I was treated good.
He and the resident were extremely kind and thoroughly explained my situation
Dr. Nickisch was very knowledgeable and clear in describing condition and expectation to parents and teenager in a clear manner. Not once did we feel talked down to or hurried. We all felt heard and received excellent information on how to proceed. Would highly recommend.
very personable and knowledgeable, able to relate information in a clear manner that I could understand.
He explained everything so that we can understand it.
Great doctor he has been through in his care .
Dr Nickish operated on my ankle 10 yes ago and I havent had any problems. While on vacation, I broke my other ankle and had to have surgery in Costa Rica. I was worried about follow up and post op care once returning home. Dr Nickish made time in his schedule to see me. He reassured me that the surgery had been done well and came up with a plan moving forward, even though he hadnt performed the surgery. He is very competent, friendly and professional.
Dr. Nickisch listens carefully to your concerns, then asks questions as needed. He is an excellent diagnostician and explains his conclusions in an understandable manner. He acknowledges if he does not have an explanation for your condition. It is evident he cares greatly about his patients.
Very helpful!
Dr. Florian Nickisch, does an excellent job. He gets to know and cares about his patients.
He is the best
Thoughtful and thorough.
most conciensious Dr. I have ever worked with.
I believe Dr. Nikesh is a very competent surgeon and the university and the people in the Intermountain area are fortunate to have him. He is a good guy.
So kind
Dr Nickish is amazing!! I should have gone to him the first time, i probably could have avoided a second surgery
He is an amazing ankle surgeon. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a total ankle replacement.
Dr Nickisch was thorough and professional, respectful and caring. He listened to and answered all my questions is a way I understood.
Dr. Nickisch and his staff treated me and my condition with professionalism, respect, and success. He has an amazing bedside manner. Dr Nickisch talks to me as a person, in language I understand, and makes sure to include my spouse in all conversations, knowing that we are a team in my condition's treatment and healing. Dr Nickisch has compassion and great skill as a practitioner and a surgeon. I highly recommend his service.
We loved the MA and resident. They were attentive and listened. Dr. Nickisch was empathetic while also giving sound medical recommendations.
Looking forward to dealing with him more as we carry on with my possible upcoming surgery.
Professional, compassionate, and informative.
Dr. Nickisch was much better on our second appointment. He explained things well so we could understand.
Dr. Nickisch is kind, courteous and caring.
A very caring Dr.
Dr. Nickisch provides excellent patient care. He is pleasant and thoughtful. He listens and responds to questions asked. His surgical skills have enabled me to continue being active and improving my quality of life despite age-related arthritis. I recommend him for anyone seeking a competent foot surgeon.
I was very disappointed in Dr. Nickisch. I waited 35 minutes for him to come into the room, and then he proceeded to do some very minimal testing and said we will see how it goes, call us if there are any issues and left within 45 seconds. He clearly was behind schedule, and was not taking care of his clients because of it. I would not recommend.
I really appreciated Dr. Nickisch! Not really a fan of his resident who was working with him. She really made me feel not listened to or cared for. She blew off my concerns about another issue and didnt set the tone for a very good visit. However Dr. Nickisch was helpful and listened I felt. It is hard to find good Doctors these days so I truly hope that resident can fix her bedside manner.
He answers our questions and we feel comfortable we are in good hands.
Dr, Nickisch is the is the best.
I trust and respect Dr Florian completely. Hes also kind and engaging, explains things thoroughly.
Dr. Nickisch has been completely wonderful to me in every way. I trust him.
Thanks
Dr.Nickish is a very knowledgeable doctor. I'm truly hoping that he can help me get through my severe ankle and foot pain that keeps getting worse. I have faith in him.
He is a hard worker with too much to do.
He gave the information good. He wasnt very empathetic and didnt seem to care about my questions.
Dr. Nickisch is amazing. I trust him with my mobility.
Dr. Florian Nickisch is an absolutely amazing surgeon. Over the past 10 years, I have had two potentially life changing injuries - both happened in a third world country, and both, because of the location I was in at the time of injury, had post-injury complications. I came back to the US for orthopedic surgery both times. I was lucky enough to get Dr. Nickisch the first time (ruptured Achilles) and asked for him the second time (tri-mall fracture with dislocation of ankle and loss of cartilage). His skill as a surgeon is the reason I am able to walk. His skill as a personable and relatable person gave me the hope and the determination to get through both of these injuries. His staff is amazing, his care is amazing. I cannot adequately express my gratitude for the expert care, the caring. Every single person in the clinic - from check-in to x-ray technicians - impeccable. Dr. Nickisch is truly a surgical hero to me.
Dr. Nickisch is a kindhearted individual with excellent skills. I've had 1 surgery with him and he's doing his best to help me avoid a second surgery. Truly an amazing person and surgeon.
Muy buena. En base a sus conocimientos y procedimientos del hospital. Me dan una confianza y seguridad de que mi ciruga sea un xito.
He is a kind, caring physician. He doesn't talk down to patients. He is patient with questions.
He seems competent and knowledgeable in his specific field of medicine and I felt completely safe and secure and the treatment of my injury.
Great care and concern for me.
Absolutely attentive and honest explanation about my situation. Inspires confidence.
Very relaxed to talk to, great bedside manors as well as staff Awesome Team.
I was hoping for more information on what to do to help with my foot pain
Dr Nickish is an excellent Dr and he is thorough and careful to answer or check to my needs. He is kind and a bit quiet but such a good man. He is my friend as letting me know he will take care of me. He is a fine Dr.
Reminded me of my uncle kind and educated
Very Professional, well trained, very helpful, would recommend him to others.
He explained things clearly and provided options and a suggested treatment plan for my individual needs.
Dr. Nickisch is professional, thorough, reassuring and kind. I highly recommend him to anyone needing orthopedic care.
He was great
He was very understanding.
He actually took a beat to reassure me when he noticed I was uncharacteristically nervous
Dr Nickish is wonderful and long time patient.
Dr Nickish is wonderful and long time patient.
I've been pleased with Dr. Nickisch's care & manner.
I've been pleased with Dr. Nickisch's care & manner.
Twice I told the doctor the most pain I have had was when I wore the boot. The only options he gave me was to wear a boot for 6 weeks. I have five weeks to go until I'm seen again and am in more pain than when I originally started.
This was a surgical postop visit so no proposals for further treatment but did include instructions for continued postop foot care. :)
Wonderful doctor, awesome staff.
I highly recommend Dr. Nickisch.
Excellent in every way.
Dr. Nickish has been excellent from consult to surgery to post op. He was very thoughtful and explained everything well.
AAA
Excellent
I would highly recommend Dr. Nickisch to anyone!
Dr. Nickish listened to my concerns, reviewed imaging results and answered all my questions. The results were unexpected and I cried. He was compassionate and considerate while being honest. I appreciate that he didn't sugar coat anything. I'm glad he's teaching the next generation of providers.
All the people who work there was really helpful
I am continuing to highly recommend him. He is fantastic!
Doctor Nikkish was the best.We are so thrilled with his practice.
I would definitely recommend Dr. Nickisch to anyone who needed a foot and ankle specialist he is thoughtful caring and very good with patients.
Florian Nickisch is a fabulous doctor.
I tell everyone that I have the best orthopedic surgeon in the universe. He is above and beyond my expectations. He is amazing!
Although there isn't much research on Ledderhose disease, he provided what information he had.
This was our second surgery with Dr. Nickish. His care both times was outstanding! We have recommended him to others many times.
Dr. Nickisch is awesome! I'm very grateful for the ability to walk and hike without pain, which had previously been part of my daily life. Thank you so much!
Dr. Florian Nickisch is simply the best surgeon I have ever met. He has taken care of me through two potentially life-changing injuries, the second being eight months ago. Both accidents happened in a third world country, so there was a delay in getting to Dr. Nickisch that could have changed everything. But: I'm walking, I'm mobile, and I owe it to his absolutely superb skills. I am forever grateful.
Need to explore better and made an appt for 5 weeks to give time to get advice from other s who do ankle surgery.
We couldn't be happier with the care, guidance and professionalism provided by Dr Nickisch and Tyler his PT guy. Love the U of U because of the all that we experienced here
Excellent doctor. He was both caring and knowledgeable.
Dr Nickisch was amazingly clear on the work he was going to perform and very clear during post op on what he did and what we could expect. Very calm and friendly as well as confident bedside manner
Me out they got me in the hospital in the nick of time and I was well taken care of and they're really taking care of me
He is awesome. I would definitely recommend him to other
Outstanding doctor and great surgical outcome! Thank you!
It was nice to have them take care of my needs. They knew exactly what to do and did it very efficiently. They sent me home much better than what I came to see them thank you
I couldn't be happier with Dr. Nicish. He is very calm and patient and always takes his time. He has helped me feel comfortable about surgery, and I feel I'm able to trust him.
The Dr is always cordial and so good at explaining things!
Dr. Nickisch is awesome! I am very happy on how he fixed my ankle!
We love Dr. Nickish!
Blessed
Went over everything and decided what was best fo me
I was very impressed interacting with the doctor
The best care I've ever received from a physician!
Simply the best.
Dr. Florian is great. We talked about a variety of care methods.
Great experience with both, as well as with Naomi
Dr Nickisch was amazing from start to finish. Super personable.
My doctor has always been a listening, detailed physician. Very to the point and kind. Making sure I understood and caring.
They gave me a very clear explanation of my injury. The model skeleton of the foot was very helpful also.
Dr. Nickish and his staff are wonderful!
My first visit was great. This visit was poor. It felt rushed and I didn't have a chance to really get my concerns addressed.
Dr was great!
I feel like I received excellent care
Dr Nickish was great!! From first time I met him to after the surgery. Very happy with the outcome.
Always a good experience
I had a good experience.
The Dr and assistant were both very kind and showed concern for my problem.
Outstanding service.
Very good experience answered all my questions very friendly staff
The care provider was excellent.
Outstanding service and care
I was there as a pre-op examination. The Dr. Explained all my choices and possibilities and ultimately recommended that I not go ahead with surgery. I loved that my health was more important than doing surgery!
Good exprtience
They listened to my concerns and explained everything.
Dr. Nickisch was much better than "very good".
Doctor was thorough in his explanation and listened to my concerns
Honestly my whole visit and everyone there was fantastic
Dr. Nickisch was very knowledgeable and explained throughly every question I had.
I am very GREATFUL for Dr. Nickish's care !!!!
MD was quick and to the point but not very informative. I had to go to MY CHART and read the note to find out what was wrong with me. Still concerned with the x-ray outcomes not being addressed.
Doctor was very pleasant and understood myPredicament. He was very kind and had great bedside manners. I would be trusting him for the rest of my need.
Dr. Nickish was very thorough and was clearly concerned about my medical issues. He appeared to have empathy and intently listened to my questions and details and my medical concern. I appreciate the time and compassion he showed, although he did seem very rushed as well.
Excellent doctor, easy to communicate with, very knowledgeable and good at listening.
Dr. Nickisch showed me the upmost respect in responding to my concerns, educating me on a realistic prognosis, and having a gentle affect that immediately put me at ease. What incredible bedside manner. Thank you!!
Dr Nickisch is ALWAYS professional and honest about options and concerns. I couldn't ask for a better orthopedic doctor.
The physician was very helpful in helping me sort out what l should do. He was extremely informative.
Great
The radiologist had written on my x-ray that there was a questionable fracture, so the orthopedic center told me I should be on crutches, which I was for a week. Then the provider here, did a CT scan, quickly scrolled through it, said it was fine and I didn't need crutches and that was it. He didn't explain what I should do, if I should leave the brace on, he didn't tell me how long a sprain would heal, he didn't look at my foot or ask about it. He just told me I could go. An explanation of what the radiologist might have thought would have been nice. Luckily his assistance wrote me a PT note but the provider really did nothing to help me.
Very easy to talk with
Good
Love this team has helped me through alot of hard times!!
Dr. Nickisch is very easy to work with.
Dr. Nickish Is not only a highly skilled, knowledgeable and competent doctor, but he was very patient, listened well to my concerns, and he was not at all arrogant (unlike many of orthopedic surgeons as stereotype follows). I was Impressed not only by his bedside manner, but I also had some unique challenges In my situation that further highlighted his good character. 1) Due to a series of events, I was 3 weeks post-injury when I was able to make It to Utah, and call the clinic. The staff spoke with Dr. Nickish and since he felt the care I needed was urgent, he worked to arrange his schedule to get me In the next business day despite being scheduled out through the next month and a half. Again, after my Initial visit, he and his staff worked me Into his surgery schedule the next day. 2) I was receiving treatment outside of my home state and did not have immediate access to the scans I had received just prior to my rapid departure. Dr. Nickisch could have ordered another CT but from the x-ray he knew surgery was Inevitable and he would address any additional tissue damage while repairing the fractures, thus saving me another $500 out of pocket. This gave me confidence that he wasn't concerned about making money off of me or my insurance. Overall, he's a really great doctor and I have nothing but good to say about him and his practice.
The only problem I can see is that post surgery was not covered. If I am on crutches for six weeks how and where do I get medical supplies? How do I get around? Who is going to help me with that and where do I get information?
Very positive
Because of Dr Nickisch, Dr Kazmers and team, I am walking for the first time in two years. I cannot thank them enough!
I would have like a personal follow up in regards to what was actually done in surgery. They gave details to my friend but I feel things get missed that way.
Have tried everything to save my foot. Helped us through some very ruff discussions
Excellent Care
Very helpful comment from Dr. Nickisch (among others) was that what I was doing could not further hurt the foot, so not to worry about that.
Dr. Nickish is the BEST. He listens and solves issues when needed
The options were explained in simple terms & visuals were there to best explain my injuries well & how a surgery would go.
I'm always well informed as well as next steps
Actually I had three appointments almost back to back. The all went very well.
I could not have asked for better service
Dr. Nickesch and his entire staff are outstanding in all respects.
I had an exceptional experience with Hailey and Dr. Nickisch. I feel truly grateful they made time for me and that I was able to be taken care of by them! Dr. Nickisch offered me two options and I felt very informed. All staff, including Dr. Nickisch, listened to all my questions and ensured they were answered.
I do live two states away, so it is less likely that I will recommend your care to others, but only because of the distance involved.
Really appreciated Dr. N's manner and professionalism!
I really like Haylee & Dr Nickisch. My surgery results were very successful & I am grateful to be pain free.
We are still discussing options. I hope we can make some definitive plans.
I got another opinion after seeing this doctor. He seemed more baffled by the problem my daughter was having and didn't ask what her long term goals were nor how soon she needed to be up and recovered etc and or all ways we could treat this. just rest and see how It goes. this wasn't a good enough answer doe me.
Dr Nickish and staff get more than 5 stars
options well explained
Dr. Nickisch was very pragmatic about the surgery pro's and cons and set expectations well. He very kindly endures my exuberant nature well. My surgery went cleanly and well thanks to his expertise.
excellent care
Good
I really like dr Nickisch
Dr Nikishi is always patient and pleasant. He's easy to talk to and very caring
Flawless
Dr. Nickisch is a caring provider, straightforward with his explanations about your situation and options available.
Dr. Nickish is great so was Dr. Sato (not sure if a doctor but still) and everyone else who's names I unfortunately didn't catch, the x-ray techs and the people in the receiving area
great doctor
Dr Nickisch is wonderful. He clearly explained the next steps in my surgery recovery, encouraging me, but also cautioning me not to over do it. He asked questions about my progress, listened to my concerns, and worked with me to outline my recovery plan. I highly recommend him.
Good experience - was virtual so very short. My choice - virtual.
both the resident and dr Nickisch were very understanding and listened and answered all my questions
dr nickish is amazing! very empathetic and always listens
Dr. Nickish was very thorough and did excellent at explaining all my options. Having a unique disease that eventually will get worse is worrisome ways. My mind was put at ease!
staff is attentive and answers questions thoroughly in a way I easily understand.
wants to always help
His compassion truly stirs my soul. Very hard to find these days
very impressed
Dr. Nickish was presented the issue with thoroughness, giving alternatives for complete understanding, methods, procedures, and listening to my questions for a greater understanding. resolved my anxiety for the upcoming procedure. His team Amy (Surgery Coordinator) is a credit to the Team.
ABOVE AND BEYOND to try to make sure I DON'T lose my leg!
Dr. Nickish is an excellent doctor and very responsive and compassionate to my needs.
Dr. Nickish always makes me feel like he is genuinely concerned about my issues and invested in getting me the best outcome possible. I really appreciate his attention to detail and his ability to make his patients feel comfortable.
Dr. Nickisch took x-rays to review. It is very efficient to have the x-ray equipment readily available enabling the Doctor to have a more thorough understanding of the issue during the appointment. Pictures and descriptions help the patient's understanding the dynamics of the issue.
Dr. Nickisch really provided me with the information I needed to make an informed decision. He followed up the following day as promised with additional opinions. He was thorough and personable.
I have not had a bad appointment with any of the orthopedic providers. They are receptive the questions and willing to look at the big picture when it comes to optimize and quality of life. As a retired nurse, I really appreciate that kind of behavior.
He requested another test to insure I was healing before we moved forward in treatment. This was my second surgery in 1 year and I was happy with the precautions.

Answer wasn't what we wanted to hear, but glad Dr. Nickisch gave us his honest opinion, which we appreciated.
Very professional
All of my questions were answered to my satisfaction.
Dr. Nickisch is a very compassionate and caring person who takes the time to answer all questions and gives an explanation in easy to understand terms. The procedures that he has performed on my foot have been very successful and instructions were well explained in how to take care of the incisions following surgery. I felt very well taken care of and would always highly recommend this practice to others. Everyone that I have encountered at the Ortheopedic Center has been very caring and accommodating to my needs. I felt very secure under their care. I am grateful for the expertise of these essential workers.
Dr. nickish and his team are so kind and caring. Dr Nickish sat and listened to all I had to say and didn't make me feel like he had to run out of the room.
Loved Dr. Nickisch and his knowledge and explanation of everything. We felt we were in good hands
Dr. Nickish went over my MRI results with me and showed me all of the pictures from my MRI. He also explained all of the options to correct this problem. He went into detail about the % of success with each option. He was very kind and compassionate .
very helpful
felt rushed , and didn't care
dr nik.... is fantastic. great down to earth and kind doc
very good and honest support
Excellent visit with thorough discussion and good treatment plan.
Dr Nickish is by far the best doc I have ever seen. He cares about his patients. He gives multiple options and explains the pros and cons of each. As a team, we then make decisions for moving forward with care.
Dr Nickisch has been fantastic, low key, practical, offers options, opinions, and respectful of my needs, lifestyle, limitations
Don't know where I go from here... I was expecting a call back from his office for a in person visit and have yet to receive one.
Dr. Nickisch is not only an excellent ortho surgeon; he sincerely cares about the overall outcomes of his patients and actively listens to concerns. He's very down to earth and approachable. I've never had a better physician.
Dr. Nickisch was very thorough and precise when he explained what had happened to my body and what he would do to fix it.
Dr. Nickish always gives positive feedback on all my questions and concerns
Liked the doctor very much.
great care
again I loved using the internet for a phone call with my doctor!
