Dec 14, 2024
I visited Dr Nicholson multiple times for shoulder pain and rotator cuff surgery. I had a massive tear and he repaired perfectly. I was able to play golf, bowl, pickleball, and other sports thanks to him. I am 75 and so glad I listened to friends encouraging me to see him.He wastes NO time, just in and out.Thanks Dr Nicholson
