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.

Cant get anyone on the phone
I hate to leave a bad review under Dr. Nicolai because I love, Dr Nicolai- I think he’s very thorough and an excellent doctor. Unfortunately, you can’t get anybody on the phone to even make an appointment. Last three times I’ve called I’ve had to wait more than 20 minutes on the phone just to get somebody to pick up. Today, I waited for 30 minutes, I was next in line and they picked up and hung up the phone after a 30 minute wait. I spent my entire lunch trying to make an appointment for debilitating migraines and I cannot get anybody on the phone. Unfortunately, I will need to go somewhere else because the front staff is not cutting it. Its a shame.

"Dr. Michael Nicolai and the most professional team working with him are fantastic. Very efficient, friendly, effective, and caring. My experience was very good from analysis, diagnosis, referral to specialists, pre & post surgery council, and recovery as well as follow-up was excellent. All the best to Dr. Nicolai, the team, and your experience and outcome should you need to move forward. 2020-2021" Five Stars on Health grades.....Jack Renahan

If being healthy and alive is the most important thing in life, and it is, then having a doctor you can trust and rely on is essential.Dr. Nicolai has always been there for me and my wife when needed him. Whether we had something we imagined or had a serious health concern, Dr. Nicolai's knowledge, advice and caring was always assuring and immensely helpful.

I’m extremely satisfied with Dr Nicolai. He’s professional, highly intelligent and knowledgeable, knows how to treat my ailments and chronic bronchitis very well. I recently visited a pulmonologist and she said he was doing exactly what she would do for my asthma and bronchitis, so there was no need for me to see her again. He’s a wonderful Dr and he’s has a great personality, a great sense of humor which is something I admire in a person.
