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.

Great doctor
Dr. Nicholson is very easy to talk to. He explains things very well and takes his time during your visit. Very friendly and has a great personality. I feel very comfortable in Dr. Nicholson’s care and talking with him about my health. I felt he truly cared about my health and wanted the best course of action to treat me. Like doctors used to be.

Good doc

I happened upon him because of a schedule glitch with my doctor. He has saved me years of agony by recommending tonic water for muscle cramps. That stuff really works. He improved my life by taking me off of Lasix. Glad I ran into him.

So glad to finally get this doctor on my team of doctors. He is my daughter's doctor as well and I remember how kind and genuine he was last time there. Such a cool and pleasant attitude which makes all the difference in the world when you are sick and need good care. Absolutely knows his field of medicine and engages you on your level of understanding on diagnosis and treatment.

There are not enough characters to tell you how blessed we were to find him. The hospital recommended him because he treated her while in the hospital. It wasn't close for us but after the 1st visit we wouldn't go any where else. For at least 3-4 years doctors where we live only treated the problem. He diagnosed & treated problem and she hasn't been sick since. We've been three times and each time he has made a personal call to talk to us, one time even remembering her birthday! 10 stars!
