Your expertise and compassion for your patients have made an immeasurable difference to my physical and mental well-being during a challenging time. Orthopedic surgery requires precision, resilience, and strength to tackle complex procedures, and you embody these qualities. The patient-centered approach you and your team take has helped improve my quality of life and recovery from my rotator cuff injury. We are fortunate to have such a skilled and caring orthopedic surgeon as you, Dr. Nickson. Again, thank you for your kindness, support, and unwavering commitment to excellence. Sophia W.

I checked in and as I was starting to fill out paperwork, I was called back. I was barely able to finish my paperwork when a tech collected me for x-rays. I waited less than 5 min to see Dr McNutt which I'm sure that was only due to him waiting to review my x-rays. He politely introduced himself and quickly examined my arms' mobility. Immediately he determined the source of my injury, gave me a shot of some sort to relax the inflamation. He prescribed physical therapy and sent me on my way. It was an amazingly fast visit and a huge relief that he diagnosed my issue as I was suffering for months just hoping it was basic soreness that would go away.

She took the time to listen carefully as I described the pain I was experiencing and walked me through several treatment options, clearly explaining the pros and cons of each so I could make an informed decision. When I returned for the selected treatment, she performed the procedure with great skill and professionalism. When I mentioned that the previous medication hadn't been as tolerable for me as I'd liked, she took action and called in a new prescription before I left. Which the new medication seems to be working out great. I highly recommend this practice, and if you have the opportunity, I suggest asking for Jessica MacPhee.

I was diagnosed with phlebitis in my left leg post op a total right knee replacement by Dr…read more Toulson. I called to make appt with Dr. Toulson but he couldn't see me that week and told me he had me set up to see Dr McKeller, his partner. I needed a medical clearance so I could resume physical therapy. Dr McKeller kept assessing at my rt leg and both the assistant and I kept telling him my phlebitis was in the LEFT leg. He then ordered an xray of my rt knee and said my knee looked great and discharged me. I thought he would call in the medical clearance and resumption of care orders to the PT but he didn't. My physical therapist said they could not resume without the clearance or new orders. Dr McKeller also had advised the reception staff to cancel my next follow up visit because my Xray of my knee looked good. I then had to set another appointment to see Dr Toulson to get new PT orders. At my appointment I complained that I never got the medical clearance or PT orders. He replied that Dr. McKeller said my rt knee looked good. Frustrated, I said my phlebitis was in my left leg, not my right leg and that was why you sent me to see Dr. McKeller in the first place...because you didn't want me to wait until I could see you. Then; to my detriment, I added, if Dr. McKeller can't tell a left leg from a right leg maybe he should retire. Dr Toulson immediately excused his staff assistant, got down on his knee in front of me had me bend my right knee backward to test my range of motion then advised me "I was going to be just fine". I could tell he was angry over my remark and expected him to address my rude comment but he instead just got up; asked me to follow him. He then walked me out to the reception area and told the discharge clerk that I was ready for discharge. The clerk asked when to schedule my next appointment and Dr Touls shook his head no and told him I would not need another appointment. The clerk said "but she" and Dr Toulson interrupted him and repeated I would not need another appointment then turned and walked away. Dr Toulson did not give me discharge instructions nor resumption orders for PT. I was stunned. I called PT and they said they had not received any new orders. They suggested I call my family doctor to get resumption orders. My appointment with my family doctor was almost 3 weeks away and I was extremely upset. I looked for my post op exercises from having my left knee replacement Zanesville OH the previous year and followed those exercises until I accomplished full function of my right knee. My family doctor did call in new orders about a month later but by then I found I was doing okay on my own. Thank goodness I had kept my folder from my Ohio orthopedic surgeon. I do have two really good knees but ultimately give credit my Ohio surgeon for my post op recovery on my right knee because Dr Toulson couldn't take hearing a negative comment from a frustrated patient. My recovery was ultimately good because I kept my post op exercise orders from previous total left knee. I am a retired RN and was the medical director over a Home Health and Hospice. I know that patients can sometimes become angry/frustrated and need a extra support or understanding when they are upset. I also know that sometimes these same patients can get out of line with comments and/or behavior and need redirection until they can calm down. However; they ultimately need to feel they can share their feelings when communicating a complaint and be supported while a plan to address their concern is completed. I don't feel my one agreeably negative comment was worthy of a full patient discharge early in my post op period. To discharge a patient because of one rude remark seems pretty petty to me. I could have been addressed for this negative comment about his partner but I feel discharging me without follow up care was reckless and inappropriate on his part. He's didn't send out a patient satisfaction survey after discharge so after much thought....felt like I could call and complain to Medicare or... just share my experience this way. Maybe another patient won't experience what I did or.... He will be kinder to his next frustrated patient and at least make sure they have a safe discharge plan.
