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.

I’ve seen Dr Nichols once but I’ve seen his PAs (4 of them). None seem to want to listen about a problem let alone fix one. But if you need pills. I even had one PA say he didn’t believe me and when I called him on it he said he couldn’t treat me anymore. Right in the middle of the pandemic (about January 2021).

Have been going to Dr. Nichols since 2004. Haven't seen Dr. Nichols himself since 2004, only his PA's. His phone service is terrible, half the time you can't get through to a person in the office. Dr. Nichols was our doctor. My wife and I have switched doctors for this reason.
