My second visit to Dr. Nickell’s office was wonderful and very informative. Dr. Nickell’s way of making the patient feel comfortable during the visit is genuine. Dr. N. made me feel like I was a neighbor and was easy to talk about my concerns. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable professional urologist, who has God in his heart, Dr. Nickell is the guy!

While I generally trust the medical care here, the administrative communication has been very difficult to navigate. I’ve been bedridden for five days in severe pain, yet I’ve struggled to get a call back from the nursing staff (Juanita) after multiple messages. I later found out from the lab that a simple 'urgent' note on the CT order would have returned results in hours instead of 10 days. It’s hope the office can improve their response time for patients in acute distress."

As usual Dr Nickell was very though and explained everything. I am a little concerned about the new medication since it cost is prohibitive.

Dr. Nickell and his staff were able to me squeeze in with just a day notice. I appreciate his service and quick response to diagnosis that required change of medication. He’s been my urologist for over 15 years and has always been professional with great bedside manners.

He is a very caring and knowledgeable physician. We trust him. His bedside maners are remarkable even though he don't talk that much but he knows what he is doing. We will recomend him to any body who needs a physcian.

As usual, Dr Nickell was friendly and professional. He has always taken excellent care of me and I have become very fond of him, besides admiring and trusting him as a top doctor and advisor. The rest of the staff are also of the same caliber. God bless them all!
