Dr. Nicola is TOP NOTCH in the field of Orthopedics. He is very passionate at what he does & it shows. I have had several procedures done by him, and many in our family have gone to him over the years. He has become "our" official family orthopedic surgeon & I would recommend him to anyone in need of knee, shoulder or general orthopedic care.

I just recently had my knee done by Dr. Nicola and his team. He is a very funny and personable man but tells you exactly what needs to be done with your knee and gives you honest advice and expectations. I can't believe I waited this long to have my knee done. Only several months after my surgery I am able to do more than I have been able to for YEARS before deciding to have the surgery. Thank you Dr. Nicola!! I recommend him to all my friends and family.

Dr. Nicola is WONDERFUL! He has great bedside manner and remembered things about me and even my daughter after speaking to him at one of the West Valley talks. He is honest and told me what I needed to help alleviate my knee pain. Although I'm not ready for surgery yet, I feel comfortable with him and multiple staff members told me that they love working for him too. I met someone at the grocery store recently who had knee surgery from him and was thrilled. Back to doing activities after being in his quick recovery program. ... read more

I was very disappointed. I had surgery November 3, 2014. It was his so called rapid recovery program. I'm in worse pain now than I ever was. He said something about cutting my knee cap loose. My swelling went all the way to my foot. Could not walk. Got a second opinion. No second surgery. He got the swelling down. I have a tendon flipped over. Not a surgery fix. So glad I got a second opinion. I feel Dr. Nicola has to many hands in the barrel. I made it perfectly clear to him, I only wanted him to do my surgery. I no for a f... read more

Dr. Nicola is EXCELLENT! I was extremely worried about surgery and he put me at ease. I had my surgery on my birthday and he was so sweet that he bought me a cake to celebrate.

I went to Dr. Nicola when no other could help me with my elbow pain. He really listened when I was telling him my concerns and was the only doctor that stopped the constant pain. Dr. Nicola is such a caring doctor and I have never felt more at home in an office.

Dr. Nicola is the most amazing doctor. He was able to do surgery on my knee with an innovative procedure and I was out the the hospital in a day! Now I have never felt better and I am able to keep up with my grandkids. :) I recommend him to everyone I know.

I went to Dr Nicola from a work comp injury and from day one in his office he wouldn't even answer any if my questions. He constantly tried telling me that it was in my head and that all of his Other patients were not having any issues and that I should not be having them. Not one listening to the fact that I was. Then when I asked for a return to work he gave me no restrictions and then told me I had a 0°/° loss. To top it off it has taken over two months and I'm still having problems. I will NEVER recommend him.

Dr. Nicola did surgery on my shoulder on 5/19/12. I had a bone spur removed and a decompression done, the decompression area ended up with a infection after it healed plus after 6 months I was still having pain. He said at that time that he had no idea what to do for me and put me back on full duty. I had to go back in to surgery 5 weeks ago to fix it. I don't recommend him or anyone in that office for the reason above plus office staff needs to work on PR. I sudjest more training and a MRT class for all of them.
