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.

Dr. Nicholas is wonderful and I totally recommend
Dr. Nicholas is very sweet and she's so easy to talk to. She shows that she cares and is good at what she does. While being caring and fun she is still professional and well educated. I highly recommend seeing her for any heath related problems as she is one of the good doctors that cares and helps.

Tremendous Physician!
Dr Elizabeth Nicholas is one of the kindest and most thorough Physicians I have ever met. Today she made time for me in an already packed schedule because she cared enough that I was feeling ill to take the time for me despite her busy commitment to others as well. And I know that the other patients received just as wonderful attention as did I. I am grateful for her care, her obvious knowledge, her understanding, and her overall thoroughness in checking every symptom and questioning about others. Dr Nicholas is exceptionally personable and very friendly and easy to interact with. I felt very reassured and cared about by both the doctor and her staff! I highly recommend this physician.
