Dr. Nick is a great doctor. Not only an excellent surgeon but an understanding, feeling practitioner in all musculoskeletal-related concerns. As he says, since we are living longer, this aspect of health care has surpassed the common cold for frequency of treatment. I am fortunate enough to have had Dr. Nick repair one of my knees. Being a good example of just the kind of extended-wear person Dr. Nick is talking about, now I am even more grateful to get advice from one of the brightest (and nicest) guys in the field on how to keep my frame working for me. I, like a lot of us who have borrowed time from science, can only very strongly recommend his words to anyone and everyone interested in keeping their bones working to their best potential as we gracefully glide, run, skip, bat, pole-vault, hike, or bike into our happiest days.
