Dr. Nitka is a very caring doctor and a great surgeon. I went to over a dozen orthopedics and no doctor said they could release my pain. After our first consult, he scheduled me for the procedure the coming Monday. After over a 10 hour operation, he corrected my lower back (4 different conditions at the same operation). Dr Nitka has the best bedside manner and he came to check on me several times a day. He even changed my dressing each day and applied lotion. He went far above any expectations that I ever had since I suffered for 27 years. I am now pain free where he operarpted and I have referred Dr. Nitka to family and friends. After having 7 Orthopedic operations, in my opinion, Dr Nitka is the best within 150 miles,Thank you doctor for your your help and compassion.Sincerely,James T.
