Summit Orthopedics: A Pillar of Support at the Hastings Senior Expo

Matthew S. Nies, M.D.

Just because we're a surgical group doesn't mean surgery will be the answer.

On a sunny afternoon on May 17th, the Tilden Community Center in Hastings, Minnesota was abuzz with local seniors, excited vendors, and a palpable sense of community. The first annual Hastings Senior Expo was in full swing. Amidst the bustling scene, one booth stood out, manned by a figure familiar to many in the Twin Cities – Dr. Matthew S. Nies, an accomplished joint replacement surgeon representing Summit Orthopedics.

In an enlightening interview with HastingsNow.com, Dr. Nies shared a wealth of knowledge about Summit Orthopedics and its enduring commitment to the senior community.

Dr. Nies, a pillar in the realm of joint replacement surgery, humbly introduced himself and his organization, Summit Orthopedics, a respected orthopedics group serving the Twin Cities. Their reach extends from hip and knee replacements, a specialty of Dr. Nies, to a broad spectrum of orthopedic specialties that address anything from hand to foot and ankle issues, sports injuries, spinal problems, and more.

When it comes to the well-being of seniors, Summit Orthopedics offers a range of services designed to alleviate pain and improve quality of life. Their holistic approach to orthopedic care ensures that every joint and every body part that hurts receives due attention, a testament to their commitment to personalized care.

Dr. Nies and Summit Orthopedics' participation in the Hastings Senior Expo was not merely a business endeavor. It underscored the organization's long-standing relationship with the Hastings community and its unyielding mission to help keep people active and moving.

As the interview progressed, it became clear that Dr. Nies' dedication extended far beyond his professional obligations. Asked how the community could support Summit Orthopedics, Dr. Nies deflected the attention away from his organization, instead highlighting the importance of supporting local seniors. His empathetic approach underscored the mission of Summit Orthopedics - to keep the community active, whether it involves a surgical solution or not.

Dr. Nies left the Hastings community with a potent message: "We're here for you, to try to keep you active and moving. Come see us if you have, you know, a hip or knee, shoulder, hand, whatever that hurts and we'll get you taken care of. Just because we're a surgical group doesn't mean surgery will be the answer necessarily. So we're here just to evaluate and help you get through things."

The first annual Hastings Senior Expo concluded with an air of accomplishment, but the echoes of Dr. Nies' reassuring words lingered. As we look forward to next year's event, we remember the commitment of community stalwarts like Summit Orthopedics, reminding us that when it comes to taking care of our senior community, we're not alone. Indeed, Summit Orthopedics stands as a beacon of hope, a source of relief, and a steadfast supporter of active living for all.
