Provider's attitude was dismissive of my injury. Mallet finger - he expressed 'the waste of time' they are to him since treatment is time consuming (splints on for 24-7, 8weeks) and tge time he spends explaining how to put splint on isn't worth it bcuz finger gains little improvement. Dismissed my request that I wanted to work it correctly to return finger to full function, this physician's friendliness and caring attitude was poor. He ran over 1 hour late, and when he came into room did not greet, apologize or care about my time waiting for proper care. Received April 2022 appt from insurance referral, immediately changed after 1st experience with this doctor. Save yourself the time & heartache and go to someone who values you, your time and your healthy outcome. Provider's attitude was dismissive of my injury.

Dr. Nilsson, performed surgeries on my elbows, The right elbow he preformed an ulnar transposition. This was successful and the left arm he scoped the ulnar nerve to give me relief. He is top rated in my book.

I was so excited to be able to get medical care without being forced to wear a face diaper. Everyone was very friendly and I was able to get in quickly.

I’ve been to see Dr Nilsson three times. He’s great! He really listens and explains things very well.

Phoned Boerne office to make appt told I was looking for alternatives since I cannot use steroids and don’t approve of pain meds. Dr told me he “prefers surgery”,”maybe you should consider moving to Austin with your kids” and I started crying because I asked if there was anything else he could recommend and he repeated his preference “I prefer surgery” that he’d wire my fingers during surgery as a solution. I took off work paid $50 and left shaken and crying in my car before heading back to San Antonio. I felt betrayed and like he didn’t even care! I had no confidence that I’d find help. Since then I’ve found a orthopedic and neurologist that does care and they are helping me. Dr Nielsen was cold and uncaring! I have a brother-in-law retired orthopedic surgery and another is a neurosurgeon. Told them about experience; agreed he was out of line with his demeanor and maybe I shouldn’t have mentioned (them) because it may have been off putting to him particularly.missed work and $50!!

I am 4 weeks post op and cannot praise Dr. Nilsson & Veronica enough. From my consultation through to post op visits, Dr. Nilsson has been kind, compassionate, empathetic, knowledgeable, honest and professional. My recovery has gone exceptionally well. I would highly recommend him . I wish I'd done this a year ago!

Dr. Nillson is a kind Dr. that I have trusted to inject cortisone into my arthritic hand, shoulders and knee multiple times). He has performed shoulder and bicep repair surgery on me all very successfully. Honestly when you have this much pain and you allow any person to do this many procedures on you it’s obvious he’s doing them right. He is careful when doing these injections and gets it over with quickly! After all this I consider him a friend now and TRUST him. XRay on site is a + 7/4/18

LOVED him! He kept my sexy shoulder sexy! ;)

Dr Nilsson discussed all my treatment options thoroughly and understandably. His office staff was helpful and professional. I had left THR in December using Makoplasty robotic assisted. I was walking the same day and went home at noon the day after surgery. I am headed back to have bilateral total knees also using Makoplasty next month. I am so pleased to have found a wonderful surgeon that uses the best technology to ensure such great results.

I had a non-union fracture of my collarbone due to a motorcycle accident. The first doctor I saw did nothing and suggested it would heal itself. Went to Dr. Nilsson seeking a second opinion and he was awesome. He recommended a bone graft and a plate and screws. Surgery went well, and I am good as new. Couldn't be happier with his service and how I was treated at his office. Highly recommended.

Dr Nilsson has helped me avoid ankle replacement surgery. He is a good listener, an honest doctor and is compassionate. He teaches his patients how to exercise their bodies for pain reduction.

Very terrible experience. The staff is not just rude but down right mean to patients. The doctor doesn't like to answer questions and sometimes refuses to answer questions or even address your concerns. He messed up both my ankles and caused the worsening of my recovery based on his failure to address my questions or appropriately examine my ankles and listen to my concerns. I would never use any of the doctors in his practice ever again. There is more but I'm out of space.
