Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Best Doctor ever
I had surgery with Dr Nuckols 3 years ago after many appointments with him because I didn't want surgery. He is very kind and listens to your issues and has helped me in other issues causing sinus problems. I never leave reviews, so that says a lot about him as well. Thank you for being such a kind person Dr Nuckols.

Outstanding!
Had an initial visit with Dr. Nuckols and was extremely impressed. He has a rare combination of knowledge, unhurried delivery of information, sense of humor and an extraordinary "bedside" manner. Could not be as pleased and definitely not more pleased with a physician. Highly recommend!

I saw him for my long overdue sinus and ear problems. I was beyond impressed with his professionalism and ability to bring my anxious mind peace. He talked through EVERYTHING with me and never made me feel rushed. He was incredibly thorough and listened so well. I am excited for the plan he has to attack my problems. I have never had a Doctor that I have liked more! I will recommend him to everyone!

I almost never write reviews, but for Dr. Nuckols, I'll take the time. We'll start with time...he always takes time to explain the diagnosis and treatment options. He takes time to answer questions. I believe he genuinely cares for my well-being. As great as his service is, he's also an extremely talented surgeon. Before my sinus surgery, I talked with many people about their experiences with other doctors, and my outcome was so much better than anything anyone else described. Dr. Nuckols tells me my case is one of the worst he's ever seen, and his treatment has restored my quality of life. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I literally trust him with my life.

Doug helped me when I was first diagnosed with allergies. He helped me figure out what worked for me and gave me the tools I needed to manage them. First ENT I recommend to anyone needing one!

He is amazing!! My son had a deviated septum that was 98% closed that Dr. Nuckols fixed back in November of 2019. He explained everything to my son directly while my husband and I listened. As a parent I love how Dr. Nuckols explained everything to my son directly. I would definitely recommend Dr. Nuckols to everyone.
