Dr. Phillip Nichols II, MD

I'm so disappointed in this doctor. He diagnosed me without proper evaluation of tests. I only had a consultation appointment with him. But he obviously contacted the insurance company and listed "obstructive sleep apnea" as my diagnosis and I never had any type of tests or sleep study to prove it. At my consultation appointment I shared with him that I fight in my sleep (which my mother also verified as true to him involving how I kick alot, punch, swing my arms all over the bed). He recommended a overnight sleep study within the lab so they can watch me sleep and monitor my brain waves, oxygen level and heart rate all the same time as I sleep which I agreed to do. A month later, I get a call stating that my insurance wouldn't cover a overnight sleep study in their lab so they would have to do a home sleep study which is scheduled for next month. I contacted my insurance because I wanted to know why a one night sleep study in a hospital setting wasn't covered when it's supposed to be.

He tends to leave you to his NP. One recent male NP Had me come in two visits when what little was ordered could have been done in one visit. Holly Byrd NP is the best one in the whole office as she will sit down and really listen to you.

He is NOT a people person at all. Will not give patients or family the time to ask questions or give him examples of things that happen. Then will belittle you when he realizes that you are upset. RUDE and does not give time nor attention to the patient
