I have been a patient of Dr. Nickles for many years. I consider him not only an excellent physician but also a caring and understanding person. He has never rushed me and has answered all my questions thoroughly and in a way that I can understand. I am very comfortable knowing that I am in such capable hands.

I have been a patient of Dr. Nickles for some time now when my original PCP left the practice. He has been one of the most understanding and caring physicians I have encountered- besides my gynecologist Dr. Faust. I am truly blessed to receive such great care and to always have the time I need with him when I see him.

Don't get sick! You will not get an appointment. Even with five doctors in the practice, they have no provisions for emergencies. That being said, this is the best doctor I have ever encountered.

Dr. Nickles is a concerned, kind, and capable physician who knows his limitations and is not afraid to call in consultations when needed. I highly recommend him. I do believe he should be more sensitive to waiting times for his patients. I have never seen him on time -I am always waitng at least 30 minutes and Dr. Nickles should be more in tune with that.
