Biography
Dr. Tomas Nemickas provides comprehensive care for the shoulder, hip and knee. These conditions include rotator cuff tears, labral tears and instability, biceps tenosynovitis, tears of the ACL/PCL and meniscus as well as arthritis. In most cases, he is able to offer arthroscopy or other minimally invasive procedures, which increase patient comfort while decreasing recovery times. Reconstructive procedures include total and reverse total shoulder replacement, anterior approach total hip replacement, as well as partial and complete knee replacements. Dr. Nemickas has expertise in computer-assisted minimally invasive knee surgery as well as preoperative imaging with CT/MRI for custom cutting guides and instrumentation for both shoulder and knee replacement. In addition, he offers MACI (matrix-associated autologous chondrocyte implantation) injections with platelet-rich plasma, and amniotic exosomes. Dr. Nemickas grew up in a medical family; his father and uncle were cardiologists, and his mother and aunt were nurses. Watching them help patients get well and seeing the patients' gratitude inspired him to become a physician himself.
In providing care, Dr. Nemickas combines his knowledge of the latest proven technology and treatments with empathy gained from his own experience being treated for a severe ankle fracture in college. His patients are always treated individually, customizing their treatment plan to address both their personal and medical needs.
I strive to maintain excellence in all aspects of my care, which allows me to provide the best possible experience and treatment for my patients.”
