Saw Dr Nixon at Medical Centre 2 in East Maitland after a nasty ankle fracture. His explanation was clear, the cast was comfy, and the recovery plan with some gentle ortho physio gave me real confidence I’d be back on the bike soon.
Had a shoulder issue and was worried about injections. Dr Nixon explained the process, answered my questions, and the joint injection session was straightforward. Really appreciated the friendly, no-jab-jabble approach.
Great experience at East Maitland. The team helped with casting and splinting for a fracture, and I felt supported throughout the healing. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr Nixon to friends in Maitland.
