Patient Testimonials: NICE

Dennis J:

“Right after having my total knee replacement I was offered to rent a NICE cold/compression machine. My thoughts were I have three gel packs and I can change a lot of gel packs for the rental fee. One week after being home and changing the packs I quickly realized the cost of the NICE rental would be a bargain. The gel packs didn't change themselves in the middle of the night and even though there was very little sleep the first three weeks following my procedure I did not want to get out of my bed or power lift chair to change the gel packs. It just hurt too much and I had difficulty getting re-situated to minimize the pain.

The NICE1 Cold/compression machine is well worth the rental fee! I will not hesitate to rent one again if the need arises!”

“The NICE Ice machine was an absolute lifesaver after my ACL repair. It helped me sleep, took away soreness and pain, and helped significantly with swelling. The reps were accommodating and knowledgeable. It's so easy to use, it's almost impossible to mess up. I really enjoyed the cooling as well as the compression option. I slept with it on the low compression setting through week 4 of my recovery. I would definitely recommend it's use to anyone who's had knee surgery!”

Terry D:

“AMAZING, absolutely amazing the entire experience with NEU. From start to finish; easy, great follow through, great communication throughout the process, actual concern for me and the healing process, and frankly just "NICE" people. The machine itself was PHENOMENAL and was beyond easy to use. I had that machine on every time I was sitting in my chair and the relief if provided from the pain was great. My PT folks are amazed at how much play I already have back in my shoulder, and I'm convinced in large part it occurred because of the accelerated healing I enjoyed with this machine.

I hope to not have another injury requiring this kind of treatment but if it does occur, our first call will be to Neu to reserve this machine again. THANK YOU for your outstanding customer care and providing me the ultimate customer service experience."

“I was a bit skeptical about the compression and ice machine after I had a knee scope. Boy was I ever wrong. I had a knee scope on a Friday afternoon and I pushed myself to get back to work on the following Tuesday. I may have pushed too hard, as I am always on my feet and walking a lot with my job. I reached out to my surgeon who offered the Nice cold compression unit for my knee. Neu Medical dropped it off at my work and showed me how to use it. I went home after long hours of work and put it on my knee. It compresses with cold water flow and it made my knee less painful and helped with the swelling immensely. After about two weeks of continuous use my knee pretty much felt like nothing had happened to it! As the weeks went on I started to feel much better and every now and then I would just put the compression back on if I had a long day.

I can’t say thank you enough for such a great product and great customer service. If I ever need anything from the company I will definitely reach out again. What an amazing experience!”

“My daughter used the NICE1 Cold + Compression during the first 5 weeks of recovery after her ACL surgery. This device was essential in those first 72 hours after surgery and incredibly helpful during the following weeks. Jon carefully explained the equipment options for providing regular ice treatments. He was always professional, helpful and genuinely cared about my daughter's recovery. Having a machine that provided timed ice and compression was critical to mediate the pain she felt those first 3 days. The machine is easy to use. The plug and go functionality made is easy to keep up with the regular icing and compression and helped her have a successful recovery.”

“Recently I underwent a total hip replacement procedure. Several friends recommended that I research the "ice machine" as part of the recovery process. On the afternoon of my surgery, Jon delivered a NICE machine to my room. He answered questions, explained how to use the machine and gave a demonstration. When he learned that we live two hours away, he had a pre-labeled box delivered to us to deliver the machine back at the end of the rental period. I began using the machine that evening and wore it largely 24/7 for the first two weeks after surgery. The machine was easy to use and helped significantly to reduce pain and swelling and also reduced the amount of pain medication I used. The cycles of ice and rest were adjustable and made sleeping much easier. I would highly recommend the equipment and would like to thank Jon for the great service we received....Thank You!”

“I'm so happy I rented the NICE1 Cold and Compression machine after having a Total Knee Replacement. It was a life saver with cooling down my knee and swelling.

The compression was an additional benefit. I was able to use the automatic system which adjusts the coolness, compression pressure and time. Everything is automated once all items are set. Really helped with comfort. Well worth the investment.”

John S:

“Young or old, if you’re serious about a quick recovery from a medical procedure so you can get back to doing what you love, the NICE Cold and compression device is a must have. I had significant shoulder surgery due to a mislocation and used the NICE machine every day for months. I Had no swelling ever, and it got to my pain quickly. I loved the ability to set the temperature, duration, and break time, too. The service and support from Neu Medical was absolutely top shelf, too.”

Alexis W:

“Two years ago I was in a pretty bad car accident, which resulted in me having to have shoulder surgery. I definitely wasn’t looking forward to the recovery process just because I've been in pain for so long. It was recommended that I use this machine, and I can truly say I have no regrets. Surgery can always be a stressful time for everyone, but Jon went out of his way to drop off and pick up the machine when it was most convenient to me. The NICE machine truly helped in my recovery process. It compressed and iced my shoulder and the best part was that I could use it continuously throughout the night, without having to getting up to change out my ice pack, or refill the machine. The cover that went on my shoulder was comfortable, and easy to use by myself. I truly recommend this company and product to anyone who is going to have surgery.”

“My son David required shoulder surgery. We were told about the Nice Ice machine and given Jon Neu’s number to contact. He is the nicest guy to work with. He met me at the surgery center and showed me how the machine works. He gave me his cell number to call him anytime with questions. This machine was so easy to use and helped with pain and recovery. It cycles compression and cold every hour. The sleeve stays on well especially during the night. We put in distilled water at the beginning of the 4 weeks we rented it and didn’t have to do anything else. You can adjust the cold temperature. My son used it every night and felt it helped reduce pain and helped with recovery. I am a family medicine physician and recommend this machine to anyone after surgery. It is so easy to use and will give you cycled icing during the night while you sleep.”

“I recently had a total shoulder replacement. I used the ice machine from Neu medical after my surgery. I can’t begin to imagine what it would’ve been like without it. It fit perfectly on my shoulder and the multitude of choices for temperature, compression rate and time cycles made it very easy to use depending on where I was at in my recovery process. I would highly recommend this product.”

Bobbi S:

“My husband used the NICE compression/icing machine following his rotator cuff surgery, and - what a game-changer! He did not have an ice machine for his first rotator-cuff surgery (other shoulder) about 10 years ago - and that was a more difficult recovery with more pain and swelling. The NICE machine was easy and effective; he was able to sleep with the wrap on and have icing/compression on and off throughout even the first few nights. About five years ago he had knee replacement surgery, and used a different ice/compression machine, where ice needed to be added to the machine, emptied, etc. I was doing that part of it - and I have to say the NICE machine where you add just a small amount of distilled water every few weeks - is SO much easier, and equally if not more effective. Icing/compression for the knee replacement was really positive - he had almost no swelling at all; and the NICE machine makes the process extremely "painless" for all! Jon at Neu Medical set up the machine for us, and was great to work with; very helpful, knowledgeable, and attentive.”

“My 15 year old son had hip surgery- repairing a tear in cartilage and shaving bone down. He is an athlete so we were extra motivated for a smooth recovery. We couldn’t decide on an ice machine since insurance didn’t cover it and cost was an issue. We are SO glad we paid a little more for the NICE1!!! My son loved it, it’s super easy and functional, which is very helpful after the stress of surgery. He healed so well, didn’t need any pain pills at all and is doing great. Hi loved the NICE machine and so did I! We cannot sing its praises more strongly. Easy, comfortable, no dealing with bags of ice, and I think my son even thought it was fun. Excellent experience.”

“I used the NICE machine after my recent foot surgery. I can not say enough good things about this machine. I contacted the local rep in the area for the machine. He dropped it off the day before my surgery and provided me detailed instructions on how to use it. I found it very easy to use. I believe because of the machine my recovery time was significantly reduced. I had very little swelling in my foot and I think it really helped manage my pain. I was only on pain meds for a few days, which was significantly less than what was prescribed. I highly recommend this machine!!! I will be going back to have surgery on my other foot and will absolutely rent this machine again!!! Thank you so much!!!”

“I liked the NICE machine right from the start - helped make my hip and thigh feel so stable with the compression and the ice - with adjustable levels of cold - was great for the swelling and discomfort. I recommend this for anyone having hip replacement surgery. This machine provides both important comforts at once and I used for the four weeks, as needed.”

Cassidy T:

“The NICE1 machine was very helpful during my healing process after hip replacement surgery. It kept the pain and swelling at bay much more comfortably and efficiently than traditional ice packs. I would highly recommend that anyone planning for hip replacement consider renting a machine. While the rental fee gives one pause, it was truly an investment in my health that I would definitely make again.”
