Best Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon Springfield Near Me

Debra Deveno: Rude staff. Rude Doctor. The were a bad experience in everyway. Hard to work with or get answers or help.

Anto Scott: Was my first and my last time in that place. If I can put 0 stars, I will do it. All the staff was very rude, they don't listen to the patient. They are not friendly at all. They are NOT doing their job.

Priscilla Cage: Very courteous

Dee Mccowan: They do not care! I had to beg my doctor for a MRI, just to be told no. And when he seen my X-ray he said it was terrible but when I asked to redo it he ignored me. Then was told he doesn’t care about the pain, he cares about the functionality of my hand. I’m surprised on how some doctors are now a days. How can you not listen to you patient.People who read this. The doctors know medicine and you know how your body works. I lived in my body for years and I don’t know how I can be told how to feel and how my finger is suppose to be. I think I heard it’s getting better on every visit. Yet there was no measuring or pictures taken. So how would they know. I’m completely disappointed on how I’m treated.

Brandon Fraichard: As always it was a pleasant visit and Dr. Nichols was amazing. She has been great through this whole recovery process.

Donald Guertin: I found Dr. Nichols very sincere in her evaluations with me. She is very through and dedicated in her profession, taking time to fully the questions I asked her.

Walt Jennings: I owe my life and well being to the amazing surgeon who helped me after a horrible accident. Very fortunate to have a wonderful surgeon.

Lynn Cote: Dr.Nichols provided excellent care and recommendations for a full recovery of my fractured fibula. Her office was efficient and timely with X-rays and checking in and sending work the necessary documents for STD.

James Mitchell: Apart from the long wait, everything was fine. Dr. Nichols is excellent.

Alicia Rivera: Very clean people very polite Dr very nice and explain everything very well

Nancy Rosazza: Doctor Nichols explained all aspects of my injury and care plan extremely thoroughly. She listened attentively to my questions and gave me all the information I needed to go forward with confidence.

Daryl Brosseau: Love, love, love Dr. Nichols! She saved my leg and continues to give the absolute best care available.

Cathy LeBeau: I broke my knee cap November 20th. When we first met I was so scared never broke anything before. Made me feel comfortable & knew I was going to be ok. Will recommend Dr. Nichols to family & friends if needed. Very professional & caring right from the start. Thank you Dr. Nichols. 🙂

Ed Rider: Took the time to make sure I understood all of my options and the treatment we were going to go with. Made me feel very comfortable in a very uneasy time.

Chris Martinez: I broke my foot about 3 months ago and thanks to Dr.Nichols and her surgical skills, today I’m on my feet and on the road to a speedy recovery!! She’s very nice and kind , respectful and you can tell she listens and wants the best for her patients. Thanks again Dr.Nichols 🙏🏾

judith cernak: I suffered a traumatic ankle/leg injury on July 11, 2020. Dr Nichols was my surgeon. It is now September and thanks to her diligence, conscientiousness and kindness I'll be walking again soon. I was at high risk of infection because of a large wound beneath my cast. She has seen me weekly for a wound check and I truly believe that because of her incredible care I still have my foot and did not require a skin graft or additional surgeries. She also has a delightful bedside manner. I would give her 10 stars if I could.The entire staff has been great...especially all the ladies working in the cast room and Dr Nichols' Medical Assistants.

kimberly gustafson: She’s awesome, did my sons surgery on both hips

Adrianne Johnson: She was amazing! She fixed my daughters broken arm. I would absolutely recommend her!!

Chrissy Colbath: Dr. Nichols was a great, confident doctor, I definitely recommend.

Josue LaBe: Dr. Nichols is the best surgeon I’ve ever had. When I see Dr. Nichols I always know that she will do whatever she can to help me, along with a lot of other people. In addition, no matter how bad things might be she was always there to be supportive and use her expertise to ensure my well being. Furthermore, her professionalism, kindness, and commitment have made every experience with herself a very pleasant and comfortable environment for myself.Best regards,JL

David Derosier: Incredible surgeon, glad she worked on my broken tibia plateau.Incredible job putting it back together and getting me on my feet again. Highly professional and definitely recommended.Thank you

Ted Dudley: Dr Nichols knowledge and skills are impeccable!

Greg H: I get a kick out of Alec in commercial. He's going to northwestern???...for free, he got a better life than me. Why should I donate my hard earned money?? So he can continue to get a free, much better life than myself???....no. don't think so

Hick Hunter: First thing coming to my mind seeing "Alec" boasting about 18 surgeries, I think what the atmospheric costs on just 1 individual have been, and how many others could have been helped if funds were diverted elsewhere...the icing on the cake is seeing him going to northwestern... which costs over $60 k each year to attend...I won't donate a penny, because I NEVER received welfare such as this person has...yet Shriners still tries to shove their donation pitch down our throats with all of their commercials...only ones I feel sorry for are the donators who have seen their own children go to less prestigious colleges...while Alec is given special treatment...the Germans had special treatment during WW2...fortunate for ALEC he didn't have to face it...

Donna Oday: I'm a former patient from Springfield Massachusetts Shriners hospital, and have scoliosis, and arthritis in my back. There is no cure for that

Kim Amlaw: Edit.... Since my original bad review, I had a nurse from palliative care call and speak to Shriners. Then I recieved a phone call from management who apologized and explained there was a severe miscommunication over this. Shriners was under the impression from our dr referral that we wanted surgery. That is not the case. They have agreed to do a consult with my daughter and hopefully give her the help she so desperately needs.Original post.....My daughter has a severe curvature to her spine which is causing difficulties with her internal organs. She needs a back brace but Shriners said, "we will not see her due to her complexities. We will refer her to boston childrens." They didn't even try. Just refused to see her. I tried reasoning with them but was shot down. I am extremely disappointed as my daughter will not survive a surgery (which is what Boston childrens would do). I feel like they could have least seen her before deciding they wont help her.

Roger C: Very professional and respectful they made my son feel very comfortable and at ease

scott masaitis: Great place for kids

Angela Kostara: ΕΝΑ ΑΠΟ ΤΑ ΚΑΛΥΤΕΡΑ ΝΟΣΟΚΟΜΕΙΑ ΓΙΑ ΠΑΙΔΙΑ ..ΕΞΑΙΡΕΤΙΚΟΙ ΓΙΑΤΡΟΙ ΚΑΙ ΠΡΟΣΩΠΙΚΟ !!!❤

Helena Ziemooreq: So excited they care ,❤️treat.

Felix Dejesus: Shriners Hospitals es un Hospital donde tu llevas tu niño si te nace con problemas de las piernas o con problemas de las manitos y no te cobran ni un centavos llevan niño con problemas físicos es un ospital para niños yo se gue ningún padres ni una madre guiere gue su hijo venga al mundo con problemas físicos pero son cosas de nuestro señor es un ospital que atiende bien a tu hijo y si necesitan una operación se la asen lo recomiendo al cien por ciento

Maeve Bidonde: I went here about 2 years ago and have a follow up soon and the staff who were caring for me at my appointment were amazing and explained how things worked and explained what the plan was to us and made it comprehensible to us. The staff also had a sense of humor and I myself loved that as I am sarcastic with a huge sense of humor. Overall great experience.

Eric Brown: My daughter had foot surgery with an overnight and the staff was incredible! They were super attentive, kind, and knowledgeable. Keep up the great work, Shriners!

John McIntyre: Shriner's just does it right. After having a less than stellar experience at our local orthopedics practice, because they said they had a pediatric specialist and they did not. This was three years ago when my daughter was three and we and her primary physician had concerns about a leg length discrepancy and knock knees, we came to Shriner's. We returned last week for a follow up. The thing about Shriner's is that they have a focus on the care of the child over all else. Our other orthopedic practice was focused on getting us in and out with little time for explanations and was more focused on getting us booked for another appointment than just admitting they didn't have much expertise with children. Of course most of the time was focused on how we were going to pay our specialist copay and what insurance we had.The difference at Shriner's is caring and expertise (in our case) with children's orthopedics. From the minute you walk in the door, everyone is focused on the patient. The entire experience is helping that child. They know how to treat children and connect with them at their level. From the security guards, to checkin staff, nurses, volunteers to play with the children while waiting, radiology staff and doctors all focus on the child. This is the way healthcare should be delivered.The Doctors and PAs took time to explain and answer our questions and address our concerns. I know this seems very flowery, but this hospital's care is an example of how to do it right. Thank you Shriner's.

Crystal Brunelle: They are the best and I am waiting to get my boy back there so he can walk out on his own...

Christopher Templin: My 7 year old needed knee surgery and all of the staff from security to the nurses and the doctors were amazing. I recommend Shriners hospital to anyone who needs treatment for their kids.

Trisha E: Extremely disappointed in the care I received at Shriners Hospital. I came to Shriners for a second opinion with my 1year old son approximately 3 months after a lower leg fracture. I wanted a specified plan of care by a physician who solely treats children. We had our first visit and it was nothing different than our previous orthopedic. After a follow up with one of my sons primary physicians who voiced her concern about his leg. I asked to be seen for another appointment and specifically requested to see an MD in place of the NP we saw the first time. I was told this couldn’t happen and the NP was who I would be able to see. I obliged and had the follow up appointment to be told “everything was fine” with my son and to stop worrying. About 5 weeks after that visit I called Shriners and requested to be seen because for the first time since my son broke his leg he was showing signs of pain and limping on his affected leg. I left a message with the triage nurse around 2pm and got a call back within 15 minutes, I explained the situation to the nurse who said she would speak to the physician and get back to me. I did not hear back from Shriners for 24 hours after I initially called and the nurse simply told me to “give my son some Motrin”To receive a phone call 24 hours after I requested to be seen for a change in my sons condition is absolutely unacceptable. This in turn forced me to seek emergency care for my son elsewhere. Which resulted in me requesting his records to be sent to them immediately after. I completed the records release form the same day and the receptionist assured me if I had the office who needed the records call and ask for them to be expedited it would not be a problem. A week later at our follow up appointment still no records had been sent.I am discouraged, angry and hurt at the way I have been treated while advocating for my son to receive the highest level of care he deserves and hope no parent has to feel the way I do.

Ines M. Ocasio: I recommend the hospital service worked with my concerns promptly and quickly clarified my doubts. Excellent

S Bates: Without exception, everyone here was so nice

Alyssa Letendre: Shriners hospital so far has been a good hospital I have only gone once this is my first time going I now go there for physical therapy the doctors are very very educated they only do the things needed if absolutely needed I was not put in a brace however because my spine was 1 - 4 degrees under the limit because of this I was giving physical therapy to help with the scoliosis pain but if my scoliosis continues to get worse along with my growth and my spine continues to get worse then I will be forced in this

Beverly Vila: Good caring doctors

US Radio TV: I like this place. It's a really nice hospital for kids.
