Dr. Tann Nichols, MD

Dr Nichols is very knowledgeable, skilled, focused. I would advise others to bring questions you may have. He’s thorough and to the point and covers everything necessary but if your curious being those questions. He is patient to answer. Honest and straight forward. No long waits. I would recommend Dr. Nicolas.

This is my third major back surgery and I have consistently used Mayfield Brain and Spine. Their surgeons are top notch and their ability to care for their patient for the year or more that we are in their care is second to none. Dr. Nichols was no different. He is thorough and communicated all aspects clearly every step of the way. I highly recommend him, the Mayfield Surgery Center, and Mayfield Physical Therapy.

Ive been a patient of Dr. Nichols for about 16 months following a back injury at work that hospitalized me. He was the spinal surgeon that came to visit me in the hospital and did my follow up care up until today. Unfortunately my condition worsened requiring surgery. Today was my scheduled surgery. I was in the Operating room area with an IV in my arm prepped for surgery when Dr Nichols showed up an hour late and when I ask what happened with scheduling he became unhinged raising his voice and cursing at me in front of a nurse at St Elizabeth that it was none of my business why he was late. As he became unglued he threw his surgical pen at me continuing to raise his voice and curse refusing to perform surgery. The management at St Elizabeth took statements from my wife, the nurse that witnessed the incident, and myself. I’m so glad I was able to see this before he did my surgery. I hope others see this review and can take it into consideration before allowing him to do surgery.

I presented to Dr. Nichols with severe nerve pain in my lower back due to a herniated disc. After trying PT, an epidural, and medications, it was decided surgery was my only other option. Best decision I made! I awoke from the surgery pain-free. Dr. Nicholas is direct and to the point and doesn't pull any punches, but that is the type of doctor I want to treat me, especially when dealing with my spine. Mayfield Brain and Spine is exceptional in their expertise with neurosurgical issues and I highly recommend them. I had to have a cervical fusion about 20 years ago and Mayfield was there for me. I can't thank them enough for being there then and for my recent surgery. The staff at the Crestview Hills office and at the Surgical Center couldn't be more helpful and kind.

Efficient scheduling and my availability was respected. Friendly admin and professional staff. Medical diagnosis, results and treatments were explained in layman's terms.

Always a pleasant experience. He is an excellent surgeon, thorough and perfect bedside manners. I highly recommend Dr. Nichols.

Dr Nichols is awesome. Takes his time with you, never rushes you out. Excellent surgeon. I would highly recommend

I was in severe pain with other complications and sent to the ER for by my pain management specialist. Luckily Dr. Nichols was on call that day. My surgery and stay at Anderson Mercy Hospital went very well. The pain is gone. Five stars goes out to the office staff at Mayfield Brain and Spine "Tammy". The paperwork coordination was outstanding. I highly recommend this organization. I AM BACK !!!!!!

DR. Nichols proved to be an excellent choice for me to perform my back surgery procedure. I was very happy with our meetings leading up the surgery and the actual procedure. He described in detail what would be done and the relief I might expect. Surgery went great and the result much better than I anticipated. I found DR. Nichols to be very professional toward his patients, concerned that they had a clear understanding of the surgery he would be performing and comfortable with the process. I found him to be very professional and I could not have had a better doctor for my procedure. I recommend him to any person looking for services in his area of expertise

I don’t think this man even LOOKED at my MRI. My MRI said one thing and he said another. He kept cutting me off and seemed nothing short of irritated when I had questions written down. Forgive me that I want to ask about MY BODY. He barely listened to me and kept cutting me off. I told him things my chiropractor said about my back and he basically told me chiropractors are quacks and say anything to get your money. I informed him that according to my x rays from Chiro that I have degenerative discs and he literally said that I don’t. Like, I do. I’ve seen the x rays. He said scoliosis isn’t a big deal and that everyone has back problems. My MRI states that I have right foraminal narrowing which means spinal stenosis and he told me I do not have stenosis. I also asked if my nerves are being pinched and he was wrong about that too. Oh and did I mention he didn’t knock before he entered my hospital room? I could have been using my bedside commode. This guy is rude and brushes things off.

Poor personality and bad manners. As an example; he doesn't even wait for the answer to his questions if he feels you are taking too long or he already thinks he knows the answer you may give. He'll cut you right off mid-sentence and move on to the next question. For someone that got into the profession of helping humans he sure seems to have an internal dislike for them. Look elsewhere!

Dr. Nichols & his staff were very professional , kind & courteous. My surgery was successful.

I am very please with the care I recieved. I was scared to death when I found out what I was facing prior to surgery but he made me feel comfortable about what was going to happen and how recovery would go and it went just like he said. Plus he did an awesome job on my incision. Ty. Dr. Nichols and Staff.
