Matthew Nies, M.D., is an orthopedic surgeon at Summit Orthopedics specializing in hip and knee arthritis and joint replacement, serving Minneapolis/St. Paul patients. He was named a Rising Star by Mpls.St.Paul Magazine. His fellowship is in adult reconstruction at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. “My fellowship gave me the opportunity to get a lot more experience doing only total joints for a whole year, including primary surgeries as well as revisions for people who have problems with their total joints,” Dr. Nies says. “I give patients the options, and we make a decision together about what the best route for the patient as an individual is going to be. I take a conservative approach, reserving surgery as a last resort.”

Dr. Nies made sure my hip surgery was needed before rushing to do it. I was given alternative suggestions to wait to make sure. I was on crutches for 6 weeks before surgery. My hip did not improved being off of it, so then went ahead after x-rays.

Dr. Nies told me I could keep getting injections and it would be my decision to discuss knee replacement.

Dr. Nies was wonderful, even though I was crying with him telling me what I already anticipated. I like his ability to tell it like it is. Some doctors sugarcoat recovery times. Dr. Neis is very honest about how it will be.
