Bronson Orthopedic & Joint Specialists - South Haven

Dr Nikkel’s passion for medicine started when he was a child. As an athlete throughout his college years, sports medicine was something he was naturally drawn to. While working with a renowned physician, Dr Lee Rice, Dr Nikkel confirmed that sports medicine was his passion and what he wanted to pursue. He spent the past 16 years practicing in the Chicago area, but he and his family are now delighted to be living on the beautiful coast of Lake Michigan, and to being a part of this community. “As a fellowship-trained and board certified sports medicine surgeon, I am dedicated to treating each of my patients as family. My first choice, always, is to pursue conservative treatment options for my patients.

As a child Kathleen suffered multiple orthopedic injuries that resulted in surgery. She chose to pursue orthopedics as a career so she could give her patients the same reassurance and care that she received many years ago. Kathleen enjoys coming to work every day to listen to her patient's concerns and educate them on their injury or illness so they can properly heal and return to activities that they once enjoyed. In her free time, Kathleen enjoys volunteering at local food banks and The Salvation Army. She also enjoys participating in 5Ks and exploring Michigan with her family. As a physician assistant, I take pride in spending time with my patients to truly understand what ails them and how we can work together to help heal them.
