    Ever since having my son, my wrists and thumbs have been killing me. Come to find out this is a…read morecommon condition that can happen after picking up an ever-growing baby over and over again. I had gotten injections in my wrists earlier in the summer, but as Dr. Fehrenbacher warned, the pain could come back. And it did in my right hand. So I made a follow-up appointment at this office to see him again. I was in and out quickly. He made another injection in my right hand and told me to wear a brace on that hand for three weeks. Almost a month out, my wrist is pain-free. I appreciate the ease with which I booked an appointment and his guidance on how to help the pain go away. Here's hoping the pain won't come back, but if it does, I'm going to book another appointment with him.

    In 2016 I was seeing Dr Blackburn for a ganglion cyst in my right wrist. It was small BUT where it…read morewas located caused me a lot of grief - especially when exercising. He took a minimally invasive approach first (as he's supposed to) by giving me a steroid shot to minimize the cyst - it was too small to drain. Fast forward several months later, where a freak thing happened. My EPL - which is the tendon that controls flexion and extension of the thumb, just ruptured! This happened while I was out of town, which FREAKED me out! I called and left a VM at the office (happened at like 10pm), and Dr Blackburn called me first thing in the morning. He told me how to patch up my hand to stabilize my thumb, and got me an appointment to see him the day after I returned from my trip. He did a thorough assessment and told me I needed surgery. He said the sooner I did it the better, but it was okay to get my affairs in order first. I scheduled the surgery for 2 weeks later. Also, he was kind enough to remove the troublesome wrist cyst while he was in there fixing my thumb since I asked. I got a 2 for 1 surgery deal He made it clear that surgery is the easy part. The hard part was up to me to be compliant and go to physical therapy and do my home exercises. Because of my age he repaired my tendon pretty damn tight - it took about 3 months of physical therapy with one of his preferred therapists as well as wrist stretches I do to this day to keep things good. (I do yoga and such FYI) Because of my compliance with PT and the success of his surgery, I regained about 95-100% use of my hand. This is my dominant hand, so this is HUGE. I was fully discharged from his care at the 6mo mark, and he did tell me it will take about 12-18 months before I go back to lifting as heavy as I did for an hour straight (but he also said anyone lifting for an hour would get tired) I am so grateful for the surgery and after care being a success, because the thought of not having my dominant hand is pretty devastating. Anytime anyone says they need hand surgery, I always tell them to check out Blackburn with Louisville Arm and Hand. And for Physical Therapy, check out Kelly with Kort PT near Norton Brownsboro Hospital!

    I honestly can't say enough good things about Dr. Nicoson and his wonderful staff. Everything from…read morethe initial phone call to checking out after the visit was a smooth process, and I was treated with utmost respect at each point along the way. Dr. Nicoson has a calm and empathetic demeanor, and is a wonderful teacher. He ensures that you know exactly what is going wrong (in my case, my fingers) and lays out the various treatment options. As a nurse, I can be picky about medical care and I was totally pleased with Dr. Nicoson. The office is impeccably clean (a must for me!) and I've never waited more than 10 minutes to be seen after arriving. Dr. Nicoson's office is in the medical building at the Baptist Health Eastpoint Surgery Center/Emergency Care Center at 2400 at Eastpoint Parkway. Parking is plentiful in a large, dedicated lot. If you are in need of a hand/wrist doctor/surgeon, I highly recommend Dr. Nicoson.

    This review is long overdue. Dr. Nicoson and his staff are the epitome of what every medical…read moreoffice should strive for. About a year ago I had pretty extensive damage to my finger and from my first visit I knew I had made a good choice. Dr. Nicoson was able to explain everything to me concisely and laid out realistic expectations. Workman's comp was giving me problems authorizing the surgery but the front desk staff sorted it out and kept me in the loop the entire time. In fact every time I've needed to communicate something with the staff it blows my mind every time how fast they get back with me. They have a physical therapist in the office as well who is amazing! I was in there three days a week for PT for several months and from right off the bat I felt like part of a family in that office. By the third visit they were calling my wife by her nick-name! This office has it figured out. Super genuine and super competent people. If you need a hand/wrist doctor do not look anywhere else.
