After meeting with him and reviewing my scans and information, he said I was a candidate for an osteochondral allograft and meniscal allograft transplant. He took into consideration my questions and thoughts and gave me options rather than just telling me what to do. His and his team's knowledge and care for patients definitely show in his practice. Throughout the appointments, surgery, and follow ups I always felt I had the support and knowledge I needed for my treatment to be successful and it has been! Dr. Cole and his team have given me my active lifestyle back and I am grateful for that!

Dr Cole is the best orthopedic surgeon ever. He repaired my meniscus tear back in 2022 and in just…read morea few months I was able to regain full mobility of my knee. I've been snowboarding and skating as much as I used to like if I never had a knee surgery. But the most important thing is that he's the most knowledgeable Orthopedist I've ever met in my life. I had a problem with my knee locking since I was kid and I went through so many Orthopedist. Not a single doctor was able to tell what was going on and after chatting with Dr. Cole for just a few minutes he gave me that diagnosis that changed my life. Now I know exactly what happened all those times I was clueless and now I can be prepared to protect my knee from certain movements and understand why it hurts sometimes. I am so happy that I choose Dr. Cole for my surgery and as my orthopedic doctor. My surgery went so perfect. I recommend a call for anyone with a knee problem. Another reason why I am so happy I chose him is his Bedside manners. The first time I met him he listened to me very carefully and he reassured me that he was going to help me and cure me. An indeed he did. Dr Cole is was blessing for me, and at all times I felt so comfortable and taken care of by him. He's the absolute best. Also his entire team of Orthopedists and assistants and nurses were amazing. They responded to my thousands of questions very respect respectfully and clearly. They were always there to help me with anything I needed. Answering mails day and night. Give me useful information and checking on me after the surgery. Thank you, Dr. Cole and team for being the best orthopedic surgeon I ever had.

I am thrilled with my care for a complete tear of my rotator cuff. At one point in surgical…read morehistory, this operation wasn't even done on a 77 year-old woman! I have complete functioning of the shoulder - every so often, I reach for something and feel the slightest little twinge but, truthfully, my shoulder tear is a non-issue in my life. Since I am only six months post-surgery, even that little reminder that I had surgery, might very well go away eventually. i will say that recovering from this surgery is a drag, BUT I did everything I was told to do and missed not one of my physical therapy appointments with a good, local PT facility. Dr. Nicholson and his team were kind and patient and knowledgeable. He clearly is an excellent surgeon. If anyone I know needs rotator cuff repair, I will implore them to be operated on by this fine doctor. I am recovered beyond my expectations. Highly recommended.

So he recommended a steroid shot and PT to stretch the joint. I stretched for months and ended up one day not being able to move my arm. Went to a different doctor with my MRI and he said "Oh there's a tear - it says it right here on the report. Besides that I can easily see it on the film." Needless to say I was livid! I, undoubtedly, made the tear worse doing what Dr. Nicholson recommended. Clearly he didn't even look at my MRI. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!

I've been going there for 2 weeks now and I have to tell you, the person to see if you are having muscular pain issues is Tammy Gross-McCoy, PTA. Her knowledge of the human body is astounding. She can feel every muscle and joint in your body and apply the perfect pressure to relieve even the most intense pain that you are feeling. She is AMAZING! She doesn't rush you and is so gentle in her therapy. I'm having serious issues with my left shoulder and whenever I go see Tammy, my shoulder gets better and better with each visit. So grateful for her expertise and care. If you need the best in physical therapy, look no further than Tammy. No pun intended but "you're in good hands"

I want to be very honest with this review of Loyola University Medical Center…read more We arrived on Easter Sunday night after being transferred from another hospital, and I was truly grateful we made it. The ICU staff on the 2nd floor were exceptional--kind, professional, and attentive. They consistently checked on us and treated both patients and family with care and respect during a very difficult time. However, after a few days, we were moved to the 3rd floor, and the experience changed significantly. During overnight hours--around 2 AM--the environment has been surprisingly loud. I heard staff using profanity, watching videos or news on their phones at high volume, and openly complaining about long shifts. I understand healthcare is demanding, but this is a hospital setting, and patients (and their families) can hear everything. My relative is here receiving end-of-life care, so I stay overnight. At one point, a nurse questioned my presence rather abruptly before knowing the situation. To her credit, she apologized once she understood, but in moments like these, a little more compassion upfront goes a long way. One of the nurse was rude and jist keep using profanity and stated this is who she is. Wow, Loyola use to have professional nursing staff, what happened? I also noticed interactions where staff spoke to patients in a very casual, sometimes inappropriate tone. Maybe I'm a bit old-fashioned, but professionalism matters--especially in a place where people are vulnerable, grieving, and trying to find peace. My takeaway: There is clearly a strong, compassionate team here--as seen in the ICU--but consistency matters. Professionalism, awareness, and respect should be maintained across all floors, especially during overnight hours. Hospitals should feel calm and supportive, not loud or chaotic. Patients and families deserve that--especially during life's most difficult moments. I will give a 4 star due to our first encounter here and the kindness nurses such as Nicole and Quand and Jordan. Very kind d and attentive. And I just heard 2 nurses use profanity to another nurse. I am sincerely flabbergasted that they speak like this so openly and there are patients present in their rooms. The level of unprofessionalism is amazing, and i am really saddened by this as this hospital was once top hospital. Being part of the joint commission will definitely reflect not only my review, but how I move forward. This is really upsetting me.

I need my ppo insurance again so I can attend Northwestern where they treat you like a valuable human.
