Patient Reviews
Jul 20, 2016
Dr. Nixon took one look at my x-rays and knew immediately why I had been experiencing debilitating pain for almost two years. It was less than 6 weeks from her original diagnosis to a complete, successful surgery! I would add that this was NOT some simple, straight- forward, easy operation!! This was complicated and required awesome medical skills! I can't recommend this doctor highly enough! My wife and I have been left in awe by both her ability and her professionalism!! THANK YOU!!
