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 Nikles is always there when I need him. He is thorough and caring.

Highly recommend Dr. Nickles and his entire staff and partners. I have seen him several times over the last couple years for multiple urological issues. He knows all the latest and greatest when it comes to treatment and surgery. He performed robotic surgery on me and I was very pleased with the results. He is very patient and answered all of my questions from my very first office visit to several post-surgery visits. I have referred many friends and family members to him.

Dr. Nickles is a wonderful doctor. He was very knowledgable about my condition and also very conservative when it came to surgery. I did eventually have to have surgery and the entire process went very smoothly from my office visits to the hospital and recovery phase. I would highly recommend Dr. Nickles to anyone. He has seen many of my friends and family members and all have received excellent care. He has also helped me to prevent future flare-ups of kidney stones which I appreciate!

Dr. Nickles is a very patient and smart urologist. I would highly recommend him to all of my friends and family members. I have seen him several times in the last two years for kidney stones. Not only has he treated me for my kidney stones but he has helped me to prevent recurrent stones. He has educated me a lot on how to avoid getting more kidney stones and for that I am very thankful.
