I've been seeing the doctor for several years now & find him to be my very favorite in that his manner is positively thorough & sees me as a whole person, not my symptoms. As far as treatment, he has diagnosed & treated me, my son & my two granddaughters perfectly with no fuss, no muss. I have been pleased with Dr. N.

Dr. Nichols has been my dermatologist for more than 3 years. He is professional, knowledgeable, and kind. I feel I receive the best care from Dr. Nichols, and I recommend him wholeheartedly.

I feel completely secure with Dr. Nichols. I’ve had 2 growth s on my face and he resolved both. He is my dermatologist for life. I love him.

Actually listened to what I had to say, gave me recommendations, asked how I felt about going on certain medication. Very easy to talk to, straight forward and courteous. Didn't just get shoved out the revolving door like at my last derm. Great doctor.

I was extremely impressed with Dr. Nichols. He really was listening to what I was saying, was professional and I genuinely felt as if I my problem was the only thing he had on his mind at the time of my appointment. He did not rush you (I have, with previously doctors, felt that I had to talk really fast in order to get all my questions in or I would run out of time). An extremely wonderful experience!
