About Nicholas J. Meyer, MD

Nicholas Meyer, MD, is a board certified orthopedic surgeon who specializes in upper extremity injuries and conditions. Dr. Meyer also specializes in Dupuytren’s, Wrist Fractures and Weight Loss.

“My goal is simple: to help the patient regain their optimal quality of life by treating their condition with the simplest method possible. Sometimes this requires a simple splint or therapy, but sometimes it requires surgery. My job is to provide a diagnosis and treatment options to the patient; their job is to decide which treatment option would best fit their particular situation.

In that manner, we create a team approach to treating their condition: I cannot expect the patient to have a complete understanding of the condition and treatment options and the patient cannot expect me to have a complete understanding of their particular situation and desires. We work together to achieve a better understanding and an optimal treatment plan.”

Dr. Meyer’s outside interests include travel, triathlons, fitness and spending time with his family. He was a founding member in the Military Family Support League (assisting families of deployed service members) and is a Pillar Club member of the St. Croix Valley United Way and serves on multiple medical boards and committees.
