Dr. Nadeau has a quiet confidence about her. I have now had two major spine surgeries with her and am pleased with the outcome of both.

I had surgery in 2015 with Dr Nadeau . She was not the doctor I had been seeing but he was on holiday. She did a great job and was a very pleasant and informative Doctor. I would recommend her highly. I need another surgery and although she is not in my catchment hospital , I would go back for a consult with her. I trust her opinion.

Dr Nadeau gave me false information. She told me after surgery I would be 100%. I am not, my ankle is arthritic, swollen with limited movement. Every day is a struggle. Some days I wish I could cut my ankle off. This has been the worst experience of my life. I wish i had been given the truth and not a bunch of lies.

I was told that it would be an1 yr date for surgery and still waiting 16 months later. If I didn’t like her I would have went to another surgeon. This is not elective surgery I’m waiting for

Melissa has performed a spine surgery on me 2 weeks ago. She is a confident and skilled surgeon. I had 2 problems to address and one of them was 10 years old. At that time another tenure surgeon refused to deal with my problem based on “he wouldn’t know where to start”. Se fixed me and I am happy with result.

Orthopaedic Surgeon

There are many conditions that affect your body's musculoskeletal system, which involves the muscles, ligaments and joints. Orthopedic doctors work in hospitals and specialized practices.

Conditions Orthopedic Doctors Treat

Orthopedic physicians specialize in diagnosing and treating orthopedic injuries and conditions such as:

• Bursitis: The inflammation and swelling of a bursa, a fluid-filled sac that usually forms over the joints. It acts as a cushion between the bones and tendons. The most common cause is repetitive movements.
• Carpal tunnel syndrome: Compression of the median nerve as it travels through the wrist at the carpal tunnel. Symptoms include pain, numbness and tingling in the thumb, index finger and middle finger, as well as in the thumb side of the ring fingers.
• Osteoarthritis: Caused when the cartilage on the ends of the bones wears down. Often, the bones rub against each other, causing pain and swelling. Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritus, affecting millions of people worldwide.
• Rheumatoid arthritis: At first, rheumatoid arthritis usually only attacks a few joints, but over time it affects more, causing joint pain, swelling and stiffness. Many people experience worse RA pain in the morning or after they’ve been sitting or lying down for awhile.
• Knee, hip and joint pain
• Osteoporosis: It means “porous bone” and occurs when the body makes too little bone, loses too much bone, or both. Bones weaken and can easily break.
• Sports injuries
• Tumours: Abnormal growths found in the bone can be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous).

Orthopedic surgeons also perform hip replacement and knee replacement surgeries due to arthritis. During hip or knee replacement surgery, the surgeon removes the painful joint and replaces it with an artificial joint made from plastic, ceramic and/or metal.
