A First-Rate Surgeon My experience with Dr. Jon Nisbet was 100% positive. Not only is he a top-notch surgeon, he is a true mensch. I never felt rushed in our appointments; he answered all my questions and explained clearly everything that was going to take place. Best of all, I had virtually NO pain following my surgery to clean up a meniscus tear. I would definitely recommend him without reservation.

His office staff is not the best, his nurse never returns your calls, and you'll have to wait forever during your office visits.... BUT... Those are small prices to pay if you want an absolutely precise, excellent orthopedic surgeon who will fix the most difficult of injuries. He repaired my shoulder, which had a full-thickness tear of the rotator cuff, a SLAP tear, a bankart tear, and an acromioplasty all in one surgery. One year later and it seems as though I have an entirely new shoulder.. It is better than it was before I even injured it the final time. He is an amazing physician and potentially the best you will ever find as it relates to repairing your shoulder. I am thankful for him!

As a surgeon myself I am pretty picky on who gets to cut on me. I was very impressed with Dr Nisbets knowledge and surgical skills as well as his care. I would definately recommend him to anyone needing orthopeadic work done. I had my ACL replaced with a cadaver graft and my medial meniscus repaired and lateral removed. three months post surgery everything is great!
