Dr. Nikkel was very personable and professional during visit. He was obviously knowledgeable and explained the hip replacement process at JH thoroughly. I felt comfortable with him performing the surgery.

John Michael Thompson, MD
The doctor was 45 minutes late when I was 15 min early. I am not sure why the office thinks that my time is less valuable than the doctor and double books his hours.

Nirav Kirit Patel, MD, MS
Dr. Patel is the best provider for my knee treatment. Both knees need replacements and since JHU no longer accepts United Healthcare I will pay out of pocket for my treatment because I do not want any other provider providing treatment for my knees.
