Quick and thorough. Very genuine person. Enjoys people. Accurate prescription for my problem. Seemed like she took some extra time to resolve my issue.

I was unable to see my regular physician so I saw Ms. Nicho on a video call. The visit was just to have prescriptions refilled, but she had me do extra blood work to see if the medicine has had an impact on me. When I got the results, Nicho insisted that my medicine hasn’t caused harm and that it’s something that I did. All in all it was an expensive and pointless visit that left me confused. To top it off, she suggested I find another clinic to care for me. I don’t recommend Nicho for your healthcare needs.

Ms. Nicho has always been thorough in taking care of me:: physical examinations, listening to my heart and lungs. She explains what she found, test results and her plan of care. She's smart and a caring nurse practitioner and her assessments is by far as good or better than other primary providers I have met in the past. She's outstanding and well recommendable. If UT has recognition award, she deserved to get one. She's the one that found all my multiple problems from heart, pulmonary, rheumatology, osteoporosis, etc. I would say she saved my life by early detection of my abnormal heart rhythms and she got to refer me to a cardiologist and other specialties. With that I got referred to be seen by a cardiologist/EP for my pacemaker. I am truly grateful to Ms. Nicho and Dr. Yang. My pacemaker was done outside coz UT was short of an EP last year. I have the utmost respect to all the UT specialists I was referred to. They're all excellent in their own specialties.
