Shannon in Dr. Nichols office is not polite, unprofessional, and does not respect patients. She needs to be fired.

I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and referred to Dr. Nichols for the surgery. I was immediately put at ease as everything was explained to me and was very peaceful going into surgery. I'm sure this helped in my recovery. I would recommend to anyone and everyone.

I like Dr Nichols because he was always so caring for his patients when he was a Resident .He was never afraid to work as a matter of fact he use to do high rise construction before he became a Dr.He was one of the best Residents to teach and to learn from.He was very special to all he came in contact with. As a matter of fact I really thought he would be close to retiring. A sad day when such a caring Dr retires.
