The best doctor I have ever been to. Very knowledgeable, and always takes the time even when you have extra concerns and never makes you feel rushed. I wish I could keep seeing him once I graduate!

While I was employed at Bethany College in the early years of the 2000's, I was able to bring my mother, with stage 4 cancer from New Jersey to Lindsborg. I immediately introduced her to Dr. Nickel who immediately impressed my mother a retired nurse, with his listening skills, knowledge and caring. Dr. Nickel was my Physician as well. She never had a concern and was willing to be able to share her journey with Dr. Nickel. I offer a great deal of thanks and best wishes to Dr. Nickel.

I checked into the PromptCare clinic at 2:00 on a Sunday. I was experiencing pain and symptoms that I had not felt before and was anxious about them, and didn't want to spend another night without talking to a doctor. I was afraid I wouldn't be taken seriously, but Dr. Nickel was completely unexpected. He listened and took time with me. He was respectful, not condescending. He put me at ease about what was going on and we discussed next steps. His attention and concern was what I needed, and I got it. I really appreciate his help.

Dr. Nickel is always respectful with myself and my daughter, he has a great bedside manner, he is respectful, never treats me like i am stupid or that i am not telling the truth he always listens to me and if he feels a different treatment than the one i want works better or would be better he explains it completely and is never rude. he has been my doctor for 5 years if he were to ever change locations i would think about following him great doctors are very hard to find, he even once called me on a saturday worried about me told me to come in and got me in right away i ended up in the hospital, if he hadn't called me at home i would have been lot sicker than what i was.

Dr Nickel invites me to be a full partner in my health care decisions. He is exceedingly respectful of my opinions and needs. He spends as much quality time as necessary with me to insure my good health.
