Patient Reviews
The following are reviews from patients of Dr. Niska.
“Dr. Niska was awesome. Handled our sons broken wrist like it was nothing! Great bedside manner and we would see him again (although we hope not to). He was caring, efficient and even had to reset our 6 year olds wrist and our son loved him.”
– Prudence M.
“Dr. Niska is the best doctor I've ever been seen by. He's great with the communication to the patient.”
– Russell B.
“I was thrilled with Dr. Niska's care. He not only treated me professionally but also personally, letting me know what was going on at every step. The cortisone shot he gave me was hardly noticeable in his careful way of injecting it. His knowledge is superb and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing hand and wrist care!!”
– Collene T.
“Excellent surgeon. Performed elbow surgery on my left elbow. Could barely straighten it and couldn't pick anything up. He listened to my concerns and explained the procedure in depth to where I was comfortable moving forward. His diagnosis and treatment was 100% correct and my issue is no longer an issue. I strongly recommend Dr. Niska for any elbow surgery. He did a fantastic job for me.”
– Frank L.

“Dr. Niska was warm, friendly, and professional on each of my three or four visits. He was helpful and understanding and clearly explained what was going on and what would come next. His staff was great, too. I also saw Dr. Eric Ferkel (once) for the same accident. He and his team were friendly and professional as well for the one visit.”

– Gail S.
“Dr. Niska was excellent. He was gentle but thorough during the exam and diagnosis and very professional. He prescribed a course of action which was hugely successful. I highly recommend him to others and will be back should I ever need his specialty.”
– Donna S.
“Had carpel tunnel procedure to both hands, each a week apart, both surgeries having been scheduled 4-5 weeks in advance. Dr. Niska was thoroughly detailed in explaining the condition and the purpose and necessity of correcting it. The procedure itself came off as smoothly as I could have hoped, with reasonably minimal discomfort at the surgical site(s), and quick dissipation of the effects of anesthesia. The post-procedure followup by SCOI support staff was consistent, as well as quickly responsive to my concerns. Dr. Niska both very professional and personable. Problem solved. Happy ending.”
– John M.

– Josephine O.
