Patient Reviews
Aug 02, 2023
Dr. Nicholson is the best. Very professional and honest. Tells you exactly what you need to know and will answer all your questions. Gave me as much time as I needed and reassured me with his confidence. I had both hips total replacements done, first one in January 2020 great experience, wish I hadn’t waited so long. If I had only known it be so easy and now just 8 days ago July 24 2023 the other! He got me up and out of bed in recovery, not PT, not a nurse HIM! That to me speaks volumes and shows his concern and wellbeing for the patients. Funny, he even tied the sexy Hospital gown for me so no one got to see his pretty work, lol! My husband even commented on his care and was very pleased to see his follow through to the end and not just pass off to the nurses…. I appreciate an honest transparent dr. Both hips done and I’m proud to recommend Dr. James Nicholson! He’s your guy! I’m 8 days post hip replacement surgery and I’m walking with a cane. Everyday it gets better and better
