He has the unique perspective of understanding medicine from the viewpoint of the elite athlete, the patient and the physician.
After enduring several surgeries and struggling through months of rehab Dr. Adickes brings a rare skill set to his patient interactions.

Dr. Steven Flores m, Sports Medicine Orthopaedics, went above and beyond for me through my ACL Reconstruction. He took the time to calm my nerves by answering all of my tedious questions on which tendon transfer would be best for my level of activity, what the restrictions I would have when returning to sport and continued his support even after the surgery with my follow-ups when I feared I had pushed myself too far. He and his staff, Claudia and Veronica, made it seamless to make my appointments and got me on his schedule quickly and efficiently. He had me start my PT within 48-72 hours which

I cannot express enough how wonderful working with Dr Adickes has been. I am 7 months out and 6 weeks out with total knee replacements done by him and I couldn't be happier. He and his staff take time to listen to you and work together to come up with a treatment plan. He is personable, extremely knowledgeable, and you can tell he loves what he does. To top it off, he speaks from experience, having undergone a full knee replacement himself. I am more than happy to recommend Dr Adickes should you need orthopedic care, specifically for the knees.

My daughter had her knee dislocate for the first time when she was 12 years old. She had surgery to tighten the ligaments but her knee continued to slide out of place often causing her to fall. She lived with an unstable knee for 8 years and had her knee partially slide out of place dozens of times. Dr Adickes recommended surgery to realign her knee which was slightly off center. Dr Adickes performed the realignment surgery and her knee has been great ever since. She had a goal of running a half marathon but prior to surgery that was not possible. A year after surgery she ran her first half marathon

I had my right knee replaced in 2013 by another Doctor. I still had knee pain although not near as bad as before surgery. The main issue I had was lack of mobility. My knee would only bend to 90 degrees. This made everyday activities difficult. A friend of mine had his knee replaced by Dr. Adickes with great results and recommended that I see him. I saw Dr. Adickes about 3 weeks ago and he suggested the surgical removal of scar tissue from my replaced knee. This was never offered by the original Doctor that did the replacement. I had the surgery 1 week ago. The results were fantastic. The surgery

My left knee replacement was on May 14, 2020. I am 58 yrs. old and now feel like I am 38 yrs. old. Recovery has been good, after 4 weeks I was able to walk. I am thinking about the right knee to be done sooner than expected. Dr. Adickes and his team were fantastic. Already feeling great progress. I highly recommend him! 5 stars and more in my book.

Incredible ! I had significant pain in my right hip and could not put pressure on my right leg or lay on my side to sleep. Dr. Adickes identified a large cyst that had developed in my right hip. I first saw him on Tuesday. On Thursday , he performed arthroscopic surgery removing the cyst as well as lengthening the IT band including some "other clean up". That same afternoon I was walking without crutches and four days later I was back on the bike . Dr. Adickes is an amazing surgeon and I highly recommend him.

Two weeks ago, I developed rapid inflammation, causing unbearable pain within my right hip. The pain set in so fast that within 24 hours, my leg locked up, and I was unable to walk without the use of crutches. The pain was so severe that I ended up going into the ER for a few days while the doctor(s) tried to diagnose the cause of my hip pain. After a few mixed conclusions between the ER doctors, they suggested it was in my best interest to discharge me from the hospital with nothing more than a diagnosis of mild arthritis and a prediction of a hip replacement by at the age of 45. While I was in

I had a partial knee replacement three weeks ago and my recovery has been remarkable - I'm already walking better than before the surgery. Dr. Adickes has been a fantastic doctor/surgeon and I am very appreciative of his conservative recommendation of a partial vs. total replacement in my case. I've only been to his location once but staff was polite and helpful.

If I could give Dr Adickes more than 5 stars I would. I’m younger than most (48) and have needed a knee replacement for some time. I did not have to battle with him on the age issue. He understands wanting to enjoy your life and the only debate was whether to do one or two at a time. I received a bilateral knee replacement and my results have been phenomenal. I’m only 7 days PO but weeks ahead of most people’s progress. He’s attentive, he’s intuitive, he and his staff genuinely go out of their way to take care of you, before surgery and afterwards.

Dr. Adickes has great bed side manners. I thought he was very friendly and easy to talk to. He understood my condition and ended performing arthroscopic repair. I am still taking PT, but am healing well. I had another injury while healing and he also addressed it during one of my follow-up visits. His staff has always been friendly and helpful, even when I call and ask questions over the phone. The check-in desk is always busy, but seems efficient. I've never had to wait too long to see him, but on one visit he was running a little behind. I would recommend Dr. Adickes to anyone I know needing
