Dr. Nikkel is concerned about the difficulty in having raising my foot toward my face. He read the anesthesiologist's report, checked the xray and advised me on how to find an acceptable foot brace to wear at night. He also advised me of possible treatments in the future should pt not correct the concern.

Dr Hsu removed a stitch that was left in my right ankle that the tech had overlooked weeks prior during stitch removal. I had been complaining of irritation there. Dr. Hsu did the removal without the use of disposable gloves.

Dr. Nikkel is a knowledgeable, caring, skilled surgeon. He gives me all the time I need to discuss my concerns and answer my questions. He is down to earth and very easy to talk to.
