This is the best Dr. I have ever gone to. Not only is his bedside manner exceptional he is compassionate and will listen to you. His staff is just as wonderful. I have often said many other Drs. could learn from this man how to treat your patients. If I could give him 100 stars I would

Dr Nicholson is very knowledgeable and he's one of the few doctors I've met with that has a great bedside manner. He listened to my concerns and gave me a treatment plan that will work with my lifestyle. I'm finally living my life more pain-free than ever before. My only major complaint was a bit of a wait time prior to my appointment.

The Nicholson is a good doctor, BUT, the practice is nothing but a factory assembly line, when you are in extreme pain you can not get an appointment for at least a month. The office staff is the worst they DO NOT even try to help you out. I know that he is very busy and he has stated that if you are in extreme pain call and have the staff let him know and he will squeeze you in at some point in the day, BUT, the receptionist will not help you. Unfortunately when you try to find another doctor they will review your records and if they can not do anything more for you they will reject you, you are out of luck.
