Nicole is the heartbeat of the team. She listens, always my questions, explains past, present, and future expectations with my two new knees. Most of the time, no one enjoys going to a doctor for a follow up visit. However, Nicole is the exception. She is sincere and focuses on me when my wife and I visit with her. She has guided me through two knee replacements and I have recommended your facility to my friends who need knee surgery. I remind them how much they will appreciate Nicole!
