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. Nicholson is an amazing dr my son loves to see him and he’s the only dr I trust with my three children!! My oldest son is a brain cancer survivor and we have had our fair share of good and bad drs. Dr. Nicholson is hands down his favorite dr yet he’s very through in explaining anything and everything we have had issues with. He also listens to me and my child and doesn’t treat us like a number or just another patient. I am a mother who does my research on everything and he has never given me a wrong answer yet! I can’t say it enough he’s the only dr I fully trust with my childrens medical needs and I drive about 45 minutes each way for every appointment he’s great truly heaven sent won’t find another dr like him in southwest Michigan . The nurses are great and the ladies in the front are beyond helpful and they are really good with call backs and getting messages to the dr. In a timely manner

He always takes an unlimited amount of time to explain everything. He is very thorough. I trust him completely with my son who does have health conditions. He’s an excellent physician. Worth the 40 minute drive considering I have access to other physicians.

Dr. Nicholson is wonderful with children. My daughter gets excited about going to an appointment to see him. The nurses are happy and friendly. Some the receptionists, however, have no people skills.

After having difficulty with another doctor, I was reluctant to try a new pediatrician. The staff in the front of the office have been rude every time we have been to the office but Dr. Nicholson and his nurse make up for it. The nurse was the first part of the visit that was outstanding. He made my daughter feel calm and relaxed. Once Dr. Nicholson came into the room, every worry I had disappeared. He listened to every concern and clearly explained procedures and expectations. Highly recommend
