Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He is an excellent doctor

I came in for my annual check up and he was worried about me because of my heart surgery I had just had and I’m having a hard time recovering, he wanted me to call my doctor back immediately, he was worried about me. God bless him, he has been through all my sicknesses with me and has saved my life twice, I owe him a lot. He’s an excellent doctor!!!!

I have used Dr Nichol's when he first graduated from medical school. He is very kind, knowledgeable, & caring greatly for his patients that deal with pain on a daily basis. I would not use any other Dr for my pain because he is not in this profession for the money. He loves his patients & wants them to live a healthy pain free life. His gentle ways are also remarkable. He truly cares for his patients.

Dr. Nichols has been a God Sent in my life. Until Dr. Nichols. I was bounced around to different physicians trying to find solutions to my medical problems. Dr. Nichols immediately recognized my conditions and started the appropriate treatments for them all. Since becoming a patient of Dr. Nichols. My overall health has vastly improved and my once numerous visits to different doctors has dropped to near zero.

Dr. Nichols is a very sharp, observant, and caring doctor,one of the very few in my experience in whom I feel completely comfortable and confident. His diagnostic and treatment skills are truly first rate,matched only by his genuinely caring nature. In performing the physical examination, his hands are strong with a gentle touch; His questions are so specific and to the point that they reveal an amazing insight into my condition. I am very fortunate indeed to have come to be his patient.

My elderly mother has suffered from severe rheumatoid arthritis for over 40 years. She has ongoing pain due to worn out joints that cant be replaced because her poor health cant tolerate surgery. Dr Nichols has always treated her w/compassion & genuine concern & respect. He listens to her, smiles with her & finds the appropriate answers to her health problems. She & I are so grateful for him & his nurses. We think The Orthopaedic Group is amazing, with Dr Nichols 1 of the best.
