I had rotator cuff surgery in September 2025 with Dr. Allen Nicholson, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From day one, he was professional, thorough, and genuinely caring.
Throughout my recovery, he guided me through each follow-up and phase of healing with great care. He’s down to earth, easy to talk to, and—most importantly—a surgeon you can truly count on.
Six months later, I’ve completed PT and am back playing pickleball. Thank you, Dr. Nicholson!
Dr. Allen Nicholson is the ideal combination of exemplary surgeon and compassionate physician. He performed an intricate surgery several years ago on my right shoulder, resolving multiple issues and restoring my normal function. I continue to see him for any shoulder issues as I have full confidence that he will listen to my concerns, explain any questions I may have, and work his magic.The office staff are kind, helpful and responsive EVERY SINGLE TIME my husband and I visit (& we have been patients at POA for at least 30 years!)
Dr. Parker is the best, he is kind, compassionate and an amazing surgeon. He has performed arthroscopic surgery on both of my knees. After a fall I had torn both of my meniscus. Dr. Parker is caring and has great bedside manner. He explained everything very well to me. He saw me right before surgery to review everything. I felt very comfortable.
I can highly recommend him.
I also have to point out that his surgical Coordinator Lindsay Aehlich coordinated surgery appointments and paperwork for work and Disability very quickly and accurately.
Thanks a lot!!
