He takes all the time the world to go over you problem and the options. Easy to understand. Had one surgery and went well. Now planning the second to get me knees in good shape. Thanks.

Treated By: Harry A. Bade, III, MD, FACS

Tina at the front desk is such a pleasure. The X-ray tech is a hero. Dr. Nicholson was very thorough, and I will certainly recommend the practice to those I interact with.

We felt Dr. Nicholson was a very knowledgeable doctor. He explained everything that we needed to know before and after surgery. From the front desk to his surgery coordinator, Beth, we are delighted with the office.

Dear Dr. Bade, How can someone thank a wonderful, caring and exceptionally talented doctor for all he has done to help you? All I could think of is something sweet, homemade from the heart. Thanks for everything you have done (for my knee).
